How I feel wearing my Doric gear.
For a wee while I felt ultra self conscious about wearing my own stuff. Criticism had stung me a little and I wanted anonymity when I was out and about.
What if someone asked me if I knew the guy behind Doric and shared some negative thoughts? What would I say?
Probably say “aye he can be right pain in the arse I hear”
But I’m feeling better about myself and my place in skateboarding and in Aberdeen. Dare say it’s Pride. One of the deadly sins but I’ll allow it.
Us Scots and more so Aberdonians aren’t very good at the pride thing. We’re better and pouring buckets of scorn on folk and ourselves. Sarcasm and an almost competitive nature of negativity seems to be part of who we are but I’m trying to get away from that.
It’s incredibly boring.
So whatever floats yer boat - be proud of it.
Don’t let the external or internal sneers effect you.
