Destiny
Hi, I'm Destiny, a tennis player and writer. I love to share my thoughts about life and my experiences. I started playing tennis when I was a little kid, honing my skills and devoting myself to this sport. I have played for years and learned a lot of valuable life lessons through tennis, and I would like to share some of these life lessons with you. I hope you enjoy my blog and come away with some inspiration for life and for tennis!

I haven't written here in a while, mainly because I haven't been playing as much tennis. I do want to get outside again, and the weather is finally getting better. But as I mentioned before, I won't be competing as much this year,...
Now we're in the new year! In winter, it's usually quiet where I am, because tennis is not really possible to do when it's too cold outside (I would like to go to indoor courts in winter, but they're too expensive right now). But I have...
During my trip down south, I learned a lot from completing the tournaments and taking a chance to try something new. Throughout the journey, I dealt with my fears and doubts, including some sadness about past mistakes and challenges I've...
Once we had to leave Hilton Head Island, I was rather sad. I knew I would miss it a lot. But I was also very curious about how Sumter would turn out. What was it like? I'd never been there before. Hilton Head was a pleasant and wonderful...
While I was at Hilton Head Island, I noticed a lot of things stood out about it. The first was that it is such a peaceful, relaxing place. Because you could be right by the ocean and beaches, it reminded me of the time I spent in...
Along the journey, I enjoyed gathering up brochures and little souvenirs to remind me of each place we went. Because we were traveling by car, we made a lot of stops to rest areas along the way. I always like going to rest areas, because...
Because the journey was a long and eventful one, I'm going to write about this experience in parts and tell you how I felt. I'll be honest about my observations, emotions, and what I've learned through it all. At first, I must admit I...
In the tennis world, one common theme is the challenge of tennis parents. By tennis parents, we're usually referring to parents who devote their whole lives to tennis, and who hope to train their children to become future champions. I...
Although this is not directly related to tennis, I want to take a little time to share about the No So November movement, and how it can help people. This movement was created by Maddie Freeman, who wants to help us all find a healthy...
I've been wanting to test out Liberapay for a while, because I liked the ethics it was founded on: it's for people who create free art, research, or other contributions to the commons. I can fit into that group because I offer most of my...
If all goes well, I'm going to have some really interesting adventures down south! I'll be heading with my family to South Carolina, where there are two ITF tournaments to compete in. This is going to be a very exciting time, because I...
As you probably know, playing tennis competitively and doing creative work as an artist isn't a cheap thing to do! So, I decided to step out of my shell a bit and create a Ko-fi. There is no obligation for you to donate, but I'd sure...
When I think about the times when I dealt with injuries as a tennis player, they weren't always easy. In particular, when I was growing up, I struggled a lot with wrist injuries. Part of that was because I used my wrists for a lot of...
I mentioned in my last post that I was going to write a bit about my experience with UTR (Universal Tennis Rating) matches. I played two more of them this month, in August, and I won one of them and lost the second one. But both matches...
