So I came to another realization this weekend. After seeing the lady in the airport on the Pandora bracelet commercial who said that she “used” to dance when someone asked her about her pointe shoe charm. I don’t want to be the Girl Who Used To. I used to skate, I used to be a star, I used to be good at something. I don’t like that old used to feeling. That’s another reason I tried so many crazy fads: hula hooping, Zumba, Run Zombies!, Dog Walking, Yoga. Okay yoga isn’t crazy, it’s just on the list of things I’ve tried to do that I could be exceptional at. It wasn’t just me looking for some exercise to lose weight, it has been to find what I’m talented at now. So since obviously none of those things worked out. I still like to do some hula hooping here and there but nothing to brag about. I WANT to be good at ballet and I will be. Simple. If only I could get my butt to get up and practice between classes…
Here’s my blurry bad ass skating self back in the day. This dress was for Gloria Estefan’s “Turn the Beat Around”. Loved it.
Holy crappola! Look at you Spicy! I used to skate to. I was just a child though. I think it is so neat that you did that!
