The Ballerina

Did you ever watch a Ballerina?

Her perfectly shaped body dances as light as a feather across the stage, it looks so easy. The audience can only see her beautiful dance, the amazing twists and jumps, the magical moments in her performance. Everyone applauds for the success and wishes to be her.

Until they see what it actually takes. No one wants to look behind the curtain, see the bleeding feet, the broken toes or the scars from practicing over the years. No one sees the wounds inside and outside of her violated body from all these lessons. No one sees the demons trying to drag her down, demons like failure, anxiety or self doubt she's always fighting.

Don’t let them get you! Let your soul define your dance, not your dance define your soul. We only have this one dance of life to make our dreams come true. Everything is ephemeral and the clock is ticking.
