I’m sick of being an over-giver…
I’m sick of being an over-giver and attracting people who only want to take from me and give back nothing in return. I shouldn’t even have to ask a person to treat me like a human being, rather than an object to be stored away on a shelf and taken out whenever it suits them. […]

Do you know me?
Distance is supposed to hurt; closeness is supposed to feel good. So why is it that, the closer to get to someone, the more it hurts? The little things that never bothered you before now have you fuming in jealousy. The fears that never crossed your mind back then now have total power over you, […]

My childhood dance lessons & thoughts on the culture
I took dance class for the entirety of my childhood. I attended my first dance school from about ages 3-5. I actually STILL can remember what the studio looked like, I still have memories of changing dance shoes between classes, and can still see myself doing the butterfly stretch. It was a 3-in-one dance class […]

Going through my old journals and posting the recaps, I had to stop at 2020 to take a breather and process it all, but I will continue my journal journey shortly. I questioned if two years ago would be too recent to look back on, and then I realized how much I have changed since […]

Yes, I can do it all
I have a lot of interests and a lot of passions. My “struggle” is that I feel like I have to choose, to only focus on one interest, or one subject. There are so many things I want to learn more about, practice, and also teach others. There’s a lot. I have my blog, and […]
