You'd commit suicide tryna read my mind,
Think twice.

Even deeper

- January 20th

So in awe at the talent we have in our city, in our very own community. It’s always inspiring to see others expressing themselves in a way they feel so comfortable with. And it’s so good to see people growing as dancers and as people, it makes life worth stopping and seeing every once in a while and not getting caught up with myself all the time. 

So much love too in the midst of it all. I know that we’re all here for each other in the end.

“Fail, fail again, fail better.”

Sometimes I’m uncertain of my own thoughts but then I realize that I have these emotions for a reason. I need to deal with it in one way or another and I’m thankful to be able to have different outlets to release it whether it be through dance, writing, or just talking to others. 
Getting to know myself a little better, knowing what I need to deal with and what kind of thoughts are unnecessary. I need to like who I’m becoming.

Happy!
Everything is looking up. So thankful for friends who will have fun and be dumb with you.  

- January 17th

Things like this only happen in movies and some reality tv shows, but never like this, in real life, so close to home.
Thank goodness that things weren’t as bad as it seemed. 
And thank goodness for the friends who are there for you to support you even if they don’t know what’s going on. For their strength and their happiness to guide me to my own route of happiness.

Danced the whole day and realized how much it takes my mind off things. Really needed it.

Studying and acquiring information actually feels really good. Need to do it more often. Been missing out on so much knowledge. 

January 14/15th

Neutral, happy, neutral, happy. 

Thank goodness for the Discovery Channel, Lars and the Real Girl, and friends.

Things could definitely have been worse. Actually, things were pretty good. 
If anything would’ve happened, nts: fight fire with water, not fire.

Easily swayed by people’s opinions about me. I think here’s another to add to the new years resolution list: stop caring what others think, at least their negative thoughts.

Who I am is who I am. As cliche as this sounds, and as cliche as it is, “love it or hate it”. And if they claim they hate it then I don’t need to surround myself with bad vibes and distant friendships. 

- January 12th

I’m scared. 

And another side is asking me, “What’s the worst that could happen?”
In all honesty though, there are many things that could go wrong and I just don’t want to be the cause of anything. 

If I keep running away from the things I don’t want to deal with, when will I learn?

I say this and yet this actually makes me more scared.

I’m a coward. I know it and yet I can’t help it.   

- January 11th 

Feels SO good to be reunited with the team. Feels like we’re one again. 

Whatever we’re all going through, we’re here for one another. 
To support, to care, to comfort, to love.

Happy to be with the people who I love and who care for me as well. 

- January 10th

Even the smallest of things can mean so much. 
A bunch of smiles sent in my direction and I feel that much better.

Tired but ready for the next day. Always.  

- January 9th 

Prioritize ‘cause it feels good to lay in bed after a productive day. 

- January 8th 

I always feel as if I don’t appreciate or give back to my friends as much as I need to. 
But thank goodness for the ones who are always there to keep me sane, and thank goodness for opportunities to see these people in person and be engulfed by their wonderful spirit and presence.

Love doesn’t even begin to describe the trust I put in my friends, nor the unconditional support they provide me with and which I’m doing my best to give to them also.

I wouldn’t know where I would be without these people and I’m so thankful for them everyday.  

- January 7th

I don’t have time to be tired, or sick, or lazy. 
As tomorrow comes to an end, Monday will ‘officially’ be the first day of the year, starting with school, teaching and dance- time to focus on what’s happening now and not be so caught up with fixing what has already happened in the past and daydreaming about what could happen in the future. 

The past couple of months, I know that I’ve cut myself a lot of slack and I can’t keep doing the same things over and over again.

It’s time to settle down, to know where I’m going, to understand myself fully and not give in to any doubts that may come along the way.

If I want things to happen, I have to make them happen.  

- January 6th 

How come I can never say what’s on my mind? 

- January 5th 

Things are starting to feel normal again - normal in a sense of what I am accustomed to.
New semester is starting at school, dance is starting up next week once again and friends and family have never seemed closer. 

Each year, I find much more potential than the previous. And with each passing day, I become more confident that things will truly work out for the best- if not now, then sometime soon. 

There’s huge things in store this year, I can feel it. And I’m truly excited to figure out what those things are. 

Out with the old, in with the good.
