happy national dance day🫀 feeling very grateful for my lil body these days cuz damn she be workin hard!! i want to address something fresh on my mind. to be fully transparent, i’ve been feeling the effects of aging and how things that used to be second nature haven’t come as easily. there are days where i miss the way i moved in my high school powerhouse build. however, i’ve grown to appreciate my body even more now for its resilience. im learning to celebrate the progress i make now, even if it looks or feels different from my perfectionist ideals. this shift has taught me patience and the importance of listening to my body’s needs, honoring its limits while pushing it in ways that feel sustainable. it’s a new kind of joy to experience the depth that comes with my physical and mental development as i continue to train towards a professional career in the arts.
