LOVING the new job though. It's so much fun and the people I work with are absolutely wonderful. I'm working extremely late nights and then waking up very early in the morning to dance so I'm trying to take care of my body nutritionally and dance wise with extra extra care but it isn't easy.
Obviously the money is awesome, but I'm figuring out that I need to surround myself with a balance of dancers and non-dancers every day in order to be happiest. Not so much because the dance world can get on my nerves (it can and does) but more because I tend to get very high-strung in that environment and coming back down to earth every night with normal young people is keeping things in perspective. Guess what: not all people are as neurotic as dancers are!
And this is going to sound completely conceited and vain for those of you who don't know me well, but you know what's really nice is feeling like your good enough. I had a guy come up to me last night and say, "Excuse me, I'm leaving and I'll never see you again, but I just want to let you know that you are very beautiful." And then walked away. Made my day! You would have to be looking pretty damn fierce to hear that line in a dance studio.
And speaking of which, perfect is impossible to achieve in the studio. There is ALWAYS more. You can ALWAYS be better (this can often be mixed up for never being good enough).
But for right now in my 22-year-old self, it's nice to put some makeup on at the end of a hard dance day and walk around serving cocktails and have some good old fashion FUN.
