If I am not dancing. I am not living. Dancing to me is life. It is air. It is connection. It is healing. Without it I feel so lost. It helps me regulate and move through my emotions. It brings me joy. It brings the light back to my eyes. It is a best friend. But I have not danced for myself in a long time. Dance feels like a fading best friend I don’t know how to effortlessly be with. It feels like I’m forcing a smile some days and pretending like our connection is okay. And some days it feels as if she took my body away. #queer #queerperformer #queerdancer #queerpoledancer #lgbtqpoledancer #queercreatives #genderfluid #genderqueer #dancer #poledance #poledancer #artist #danceartist
