All this time we got for ourselves

Instead, we fought, we argued, we blamed each other for everything, we didn’t listen to our hearts, just what our resentment was telling us to do.

Now that it’s too damaged, I stop and think for a moment, if we had shared more time together, If, instead of blaming we had some empathy, maybe then, things could have remained together.

Not all heartbreaks are made by an ex, sometimes it’s made by a friend, or a parent.

Dad,

Laughing at my dreams isn't going to make the ones you think are better for me anymore appealing. It's just going to make me fight harder for mine. Seriously if I want to dance for the rest of my life then I will. I know I'll probably struggle but I'll be doing what I love to do. I'll be happy, school isn't for me. It never has been, in school what do I do? I dance, it isn't a hobby, nor is it something I'll grow out of. I've been dancing for 12 years of my life already, I don't know think it's something I'll grow out of. I want to make something out of it. I have a talent why can't you be proud of it. It's my passion something I live to do. I practice in my room everyday, stretch, practice to perfect turns and jumps but you wouldn't see that cause it doesn't matter to you. So you laughing at what I want to go out and do isn't making anything better, especially laughing at my face in front of our family that's just childish. I understand you want me to be a good role-model for my little brother but he gets to follow his dream and play basketball while I can't? That isn't fair. Just let me go out there and see if I can make it. Let me fail on my own don't be afraid to let me fly. I get it I'm your little girl and all but I'm ready to see what the world holds for me.
