Bane the Bow: Observing My Stubborn Avoidance

Haaaaaaaapppyyyyyy New Year!!

After a couple of quiet months and more skipped sessions than planned, Roberta talks honestly about nearly walking away from archery. Not in a dramatic way, but in the slow, avoid-the-bow-and-hope-it-goes-away kind of way.

This is about burnout, expectations, stalled progress, comparison, and how a hobby you love can quietly turn into something heavy. There’s no comeback arc or life lessons here. Just Roberta, a neglected bow (Bane), and turning up again, this time using her stubbornness for something vaguely helpful.
