Scattered Thoughts

Natalia Osipova - Juliet

Natalia Osipova is probably my favorite ballerina. So sweet, so cute, and so strong, so gorgeous.

Ask anyone who knows me and they'll tell you I love ballet. It comes with a lot of responsibility though. Going to classes daily is tiring, plus rehearsal and teaching on top of that. Daily muscle soreness, injuries, the constant desire to be underweight, exhaustion, all these come with the tiring, difficult work that is dance.

That doesn't stop me from loving dance. The feeling I get when something goes well or when I do a particularly emotional piece or combination. The feeling I get when I hear the curtain open or the audience applauding at the curtain's close. I love class, I love rehearsal, I love feeling strong, I love feeling adept. I love dance.

Hard work has a turn out.

I have to teach my little sister's ballet class tomorrow. Oh joy.

A glimmer is a flutter.
A glance is a pain.
A thought is a scream.
I'm sorry.

The weekend can't come soon enough. Let's get to conquering this week. 

Love,
