i told myself i wasnt going to care that today was my last festival of dance...ever. i thought i was totally fine with it, but as i was watching the little CPW girls do their little ballet i started to think back to when i was 5 years old running around on that stage. i remember our little red and white puffy costumes and all of that jazz. i remember the first time i had to perform in the nutcracker as a little girl party guest when i was like 8 and how i thought it was "such a great part". i've been doing festival and nutcracker for like...my whole life. and now, all of a sudden, it's over. i'll never do it again. ever. i'll never perform on U of M's stage again. I'll never perform on Whiting's stage again. all i have left now is my last midstates which is in like 3 days. my days as a ballet dancer are dwindling down to becoming non existant. that's a scary thing dude.
i've been dancing at FIM for 15 years...wow. now it's..........over.
i really am going to miss it tho. politics and all. dancing at FIM has influenced my life so much. i wouldn't be the person i am if it werent for FIM and ballet and karen. they've practically molded me into..well...me. i cant even imagine how i would be and how my life would be if i didnt grow up through FIM. im so thankful for all the amazing aportunities i've had and the wonderfull friends i've made, i know these friendships will last a lifetime.
FIM and FYB will always be a part of me.
always and forever.
