What is one thing that is in your life only as a substitute, because the thing you really wanted was something you couldn’t have?
This is a difficult question to answer because I don't think I have many "substitutes" in my life. I would say my exercises are substitutes for being able to take an actual ballet class again. It's just too expensive. Maybe someday I will be able to afford another adult ballet class. I have a book on ballet I had to have for my adult class and I can read through that and do some of the exercises, though I really need more space for a lot of exercising... My coffee table is one that has cabinets on the bottom so it's heavy to momve.
