omg omg i just realized i wanna write a pinned post hehehe.

hi everyone, i’m Katie, i’m 22, and i’m a recent college grad who doesn’t know what to do with my life. i’ve been a dance fan since the Dance Moms days (i distinctly remember starting to watch in 5th grade during season 2) and then my cousin introduced me to fresh faces and it all fell into place from there. during my middle and hs years i mostly followed what Club was doing (legit ask me anything, i was kinda insane) now i’m more of a p21 girl. i’ve had my blog for just over 10 years.

i danced recreationally (and a tiny bit competitively) throughout my childhood. i LOVE to crochet and am learning to knit even though it stresses me out. i also love writing and reading and being a fangirl so if you ever see hunger games or legend of zelda or whatever else i’m into at the moment on my blog that’s why.

just me venting

oh my god i’m feeling so lost and confused and i just need to get my words out there. i want a job, i don’t like where i live (in my hometown, which i’ve never been fond of) but im just so scared and stressed all the time. im scared to interview (because i feel like i always mess them up) to meet new people. when you want something so much i think it makes the waiting game even worse. or the feeling that you can mess it up. it’s so scary.

people always say to do things when you have a clear mind, but what about when it’s impossible to clear your mind? when you can’t get your heart rate to come down and you can’t get rid of the knots in your chest. and i’m so lonely, too. i miss my friends so much. im just sad. i wake up stressed and sad, it doesn’t feel good.

and i’m struggling to eat too. my appetite is shot. like i’ll be uncomfortable or in pain because of hunger, but i can’t make myself eat because nothing tastes good. it takes so much effort to eat.

i know it will get better. but sometimes it doesn’t feel like there’s a reason to keep going. i will keep going though, because i know. i know i can get through this.

okay, well i think it was nice to write this. i’m gonna sit outside and do my daily tasks in animal crossing now, and then work on an application that’s due today.
