| I thought you already do 4 foot drops? | shiggy©®

Nothing takes away the fear of falling down as much as doing it and realizing it doesn't hurt as bad as you thought because you are covered in gear. I slap on so much stuff I'm a mummy then go out and do crazy stuff. Endos still have a tendancy to hurt. |
