lidol: second chance

[liret]

Every time, I decide I'm not going.

I turn the alarm off and decide it's not worth it. I'm tired. It's not worth it. There's no good reason for me to drive over an hour for ballet class, of all things. I'm not a ballerina. I think that was established conclusively by third grade, when I was kicked out of dance class for having an attitude

I love how sometimes we make it a point to do something we don't really like just to improve our lives in some way. Hopefully it'll be ballet: 1, Jess: 1 soon enough. :)

I like this!

I too am not meant for ballet. I am too solid, and well, too chubby.

Doing something you love and is good for you is great. It doesn't matter that you will never be in the Nutcracker or something. I still daydream of being a ballerina, leftover from childhood yearnings.
It is good discipline too to get up for classes! :)

The one thing I like is tendus, because I can feel it in my quads :) How cool that you are gaining greater body control! I tell all my serious circus students to take ballet :)

Go you! :) Sometimes doing something just because it's good for us becomes oddly rewarding in its own right.
