Well I joined Kendo because my best friend was in it and I'd heard a lot of good things about it. He told me it was very challenging though, and not to take it lightly. I decided to try and and I loved it because it made me feel... I don't know. Alive? Hard to describe. I don't know what I expected it to be... I guess I never really thought about that.

OK, the "alive" part I can relate to - but if the only reason you're there is to make somebody else happy then you're done.

Nobody is going to (or should) talk you into staying at this point, if you do, that's cool but don't if it's not something that you really get into. The worst thing is to practice with people who really don't want to be there - maybe your dojo mates see that already?
