Sometimes I try to distill things (like when I said “you are who you decide to be” on this blog (and on The Price is Right haha)). And sometimes it feels like I then don’t take into account nuance.
I know there is a lot of nuance and things aren’t so simple all the time.
BUT… OVERALL… it seems to be true that if you want to do something/be something change something, if you just start to change it, before you know it, it’ll be something you are/do/have/etc.
[I know. I know it doesn’t work with everything haha. And also, obviously I’m not a professional dancer. So maybe it’s sillier than ever to say “if you want to be a dancer, be a dancer” and to imply I’m a dancer!]
But one thing that has been nice is… I oftentimes wonder what are the top 10 things people think about me – like that’s potentially a good sign of how I’m coming off, and are the things that I think are important to me, or that I hope to do – are those things how I’m coming off to other people?
And I think the tide has already turned that most people are thinking of me as a dancer!
You audition for a few things, and start to take a few classes and then boom. You get invites to other auditions and classes and things. Your friends ask you how dance is going.
Before you know it, it’s folded in – it’s a part of your life!
