I've never been a "sporty kid" and I have zero flexibility BUT I decided that I -> needed <- this skill in my life Look mom I can do a cartwheel now yaaay
I really loved doing weird things with my body aswell as fitting into tiny places as a child. I wish my body could still do it lol, also my partner is in professional circus school for trapeze! it’s so wonderful and crazy to see what humans can do!
First when I was about four I wanted to be a standup comedian, then I wanted to work with Greenpeace, then I wanted to be a novelist, then I wanted to be a Broadway star but I have literally no ability to dance, then I wanted to be a clinical psychologist. by high school my grades were tanking because I was skipping school a lot and not turning in any work and I saw Cirque du Soleil Quidam and wanted to move to Montreal and be a circus clown despite having no athletic skill. Then I wanted to be a hand model which is what I would tell my school guidance counselors when they would angrily ask what I was going to do with my life. Would have said a regular model but I’m short so I wanted to be realistic but now I am a hair model (not as a career) so that’s fun. I think I’ve made out pretty well for myself for a girl with no direction…
I can put my whole fist in my mouth and when I was younger I did not realize how much people would sexualize it so once I finally picked up on that I stopped doing it. Needed something to fill the void so I started doing my incredibly high pitched, sustained note. I learned by harmonizing with my shitty squealing brakes and now it’s somewhat of a talent!
