It was the same every morning. Wake up, grab the ice skates, and head to the rink while the world was still dark. Weekends were spent in glitter and tights at competitions. Perform. Smile. And do it again. She was good. She won. And she hated it. For ten years, figure skating was Tillie Walden's life. She woke before dawn for morning lessons, went straight to group practice after school, and spent weekends competing at ice rinks across the state. Skating was a central piece of her identity, her safe haven from the stress of school, bullies, and family. But as she switched schools, got into art, and fell in love with her first girlfriend, she began to question how the close-minded world of figure skating fit in with the rest of her life, and whether all the work was worth it given the reality: that she, and her friends on the team, were nowhere close to Olympic hopefuls. The more Tillie thought about it, the more Tillie realized she'd outgrown her passion--and she finally needed to find her own voice 600 10 Walden, Tillie,|d1996-|vComic books, strips, etc 600 10 Walden, Tillie,|d1996-|xChildhood and youth 600 11 Walden, Tillie,|d1996-|xChildhood and youth|vCartoons and comics 650 0 Coming out (Sexual orientation)|vComic books, strips, etc 650 0 Coming out (Sexual orientation)|zUnited States|vBiography |vJuvenile literature 650 0 Figure skaters|zUnited States|vBiography|vComic books, strips, etc 650 0 Lesbian teenagers|vBiography|vComic books, strips, etc 650 0 Lesbian teenagers|zUnited States|vBiography|vJuvenile literature 650 0 Women cartoonists|zUnited States|vBiography|vJuvenile literature 650 0 Women figure skaters|zUnited States|vBiography|vJuvenile literature 650 1 Cartoonists|vCartoons and comics 650 1 Coming of age|vCartoons and comics 650 1 Figure skaters|vCartoons and comics 650 1 Graphic novels 650 1 Women|vBiography|vCartoons and comics 650 7 Homosexuella ungdomar|2sao 650 7 HBTQ personer|2sao 650 7 Homosexuella|2sao 650 7 Komma-ut-processen|2sao 650 7 Serietecknare|2sao 650 7 Kvinnor|2sao 651 4 Förenta staterna 653 USA 655 7 Biografi|2saogf 655 7 Tecknade serier|2saogf 655 7 Serieromaner|2saogf 655 7 Självbiografiska skildringar|2saogf 710 2 SelfMadeHero|4publisher 907 00 171211
