if I could sum up the past year, these photos barely scratch the surface. 26 was a wild ride. It was much more terrifying and beautiful than I ever thought. It was the hardest year of my life so far. I’m proud of myself for getting through it. I pulled up my anchor and set sail. I’ve never felt so lost, and I’ve never found so much. More corners of the earth than I’ve ever been. Corners of myself I swore I’d never go to again. I walk into 27 with open arms.
So here are some moments
-a duet I’ll hold in my heart forever
-elevator selfie somewhere I hope I’ll live someday
-watching a group of dancers who inspire me so much in the most magical dance heaven
-a time where I felt great about the body (insert moira rose quote here)
-dancing with her ❤️🔥
-travel day stress
-moments before I started my process with my arts umbrella angels
-one of many many MANY back bends
-one of many many MANY summer aperols

-sneaking onto European trains cause I bought the wrong ticket
-spending money I don’t have
-random hotel selfie (one of many)
-don’t make me hit you with my pocket book
-mid 9 hour judging shift (too many headstands)
-first day in my newest rinconcito en el cielo
-a selfie from shopping day with my mom (big step)
-and when midnight struck on my birthday all I wanted to do was dance. Like always. All I want to do is dance

I really can’t explain how much this process meant to me. The seeds are just barely starting to bloom. I can’t thank eman enough for the patience, understanding and willingness he brought to this work. A small piece of every person I’ve ever collaborated with lives in this piece with us, and to all of you I say thank you. And most of all, I am thankful for @balletbc for providing the platform that has allowed me this cathartic experience.
in dedication to someone who will never see it.
