👻 GHOUL SCHOOL : week 2 dump 👻 For week 2 of Ghoul School, we were challenged to be introspective and create a performance based on a personal phobia/fear (swipe to watch). I decided to go along with my fear of rejection, inspired by previous sexual & romantic encounters. One too many times have I developed feelings for someone who only wanted me for my body. As soon as I showed romantic interest or vulnerability, I was shot down or ghosted. These experiences, along with other traumas, have given me a deep fear of rejection to the point where I will stay in a state of uncertainty and feel so much anxiety (or even sadness) without making any moves to gain answers. My fear of rejection isn’t just limited to romance though, but I felt it would be easier to convey and it’s a part of where I’m currently at, mentally. Ironically, before the show started, I felt to much anxiety, to the point where I was on the verge of tears. I was worried about my performance being well-received and understood. I’m very grateful to have had one of my longtime friends, @i_am_gimo as my partner for this number as well as having another one of my best friends there to support. We’re both incredibly proud of our performance and as soon as it was over, I felt incredibly accomplished and made it to week 3!!! Come to @thesplashchicago next Tuesday, 9/20 to see us embody the 7 Deadly Sins- of course, I ended up selecting Lust ❤️‍🔥
