I dance poorly; I am somehow fundamentally ungraceful, and knowing I will never be excellent has made it easier for me to really enjoy and build habits around dance. I’m taking ballet now, I took ballroom and flamenco in college, it’s a lot of fun, and an added benefit is that dance is one of the most effective forms of movement for improving mental health and wellbeing.
I was at a wedding once and love shack came on and a group of people started to line dance to it. I got off the dance floor because I’m not into line dancing and also didn’t know the dance but thinking back to that time, I should have just stayed and kept doing my own dance.
No hate to line dancing btw. I just personally sometimes don’t enjoy dancing in a line doing the same moves over and over again.
Freestyler for life!
The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists. The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished.
People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.
I’m 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadn’t blossomed yet. I’m a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. I’m good at conversing with strangers. I’m usually the oldest person at the show but don’t feel like it. I’m good at being helpful. I’m sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. I’m a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. I’m a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I don’t use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. ✌️💛
