All the ballet slipper laces tucked in, missing dolls found, stern teacher looks given, rescued pointe shoes, and running around on concrete floors all weekend. I couldn’t be more proud of my students and all the cast and crew of this years production of The Nutcracker @joffreyschool #nutcrackerseason #joffreyballetschool #balletteacher #balletteacherlife #nyc #lovewhatyoudo (at Laguardia Performing Arts Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brd5ORiHeKN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4mx0qrtyvbms

Surprises

So I went home this weekend to surprise my mother for Easter and we all had a grand old time. My parents have gotten quite religious since I moved out. I'm not exactly sure why or when it occurred. But it's something that always makes me feel somewhat uneasy when I go back home. I know that I shouldn't feel that way but sometimes it does feel that way. I don't think that I have an unhealthy relationship with them in the least. But there are things we simply don't talk about. I don't know if there is anything that we have done to make this happen. I suppose it has something to do with the fact that I've always been a quiet soul. I say what needs robbery said and that's that. Not much to talk about.

But do you know what’s absolutely beautiful? Falling in love with the same person over and over again, because it shows that you’re never done with loving them, it shows that you are loving them every second of the day despite everything.
