I haven’t been this depressed in a very long time.

I am so tired, both physically and emotionally, and yet I can’t sleep because US politics hurt me so very much. I wish it weren’t so difficult to immigrate somewhere where I could spend less time worrying about money, medical bills, and never being able to afford a house or the rising cost of rent and instead, focus on making a difference and slowing the the destruction of our planet.

Ahahah it’s not just knee strength you need, friend. It’s thighs, ass, ankles, calves, you need everything from your waist down to be horrifyingly fit and toned for this.

Also core strength. So include the waist. Everything from the nipples down.

Don’t forget absurd back flexibility

“Ballet is a really hard dance to master.”

Slavic dancing: “Hold my beer.”

My thighs are burning just watching.

this video just laughed at me for being out of shape.

buh-no

I had a friend growing up that was from Slovakia or Ukraine, I don’t remember which. I knew him from kindergarten to 2nd grade. And since there wasn’t a large enough slavic community for this kind of dancing, he did competitive ballet. He would constantly complain that it wasn’t hard enough. Guys, its competitive ballet, one of the hardest sports you can be in as a young person. Those C-jumps the guys were doing? In american ballet or dance you usually only get your chest to where you head was. They have their bellybutton or hips where their head was. That’s fucking nuts with out running or a pre jump. This kind of dancing was constantly going on at their house. I would like to point out that’s insane. His mom and dad dance almost every day. Not as high since age. But still.

do you ever see people, in october 2020, talking about, like, hanging out with their friends and getting drinks with people and going on dates and hooking up with people and hanging out in coffee shops and going to the gym and realize that some people are living in a completely different reality than you are

People say this new thing - well, that was before. We casually delineate - oh, but then quarantine. No, this was after March.

I hear the same tired, bitter tone in myself. Of course, I say, then covid happened. I mock my own choices; grit my teeth about finances, sneer about my English degree, sigh about loans from college. I regret what I didn't appreciate. What I took for granted. I get angry at my past self - the trouble she didn't avoid.

But I also hear - each of us, just a little, being gentle to each other. Well, you didn't know, we say. It's okay, we say, you will find something. Oh, tell me about gardening. Tell me about those new hobbies. Tell me about the crack in the floor you spent a week trying to refinish. Tell me about the new show you've been watching. It's okay if it's not much. It's okay if you have no idea what the future looks like. It's okay, none of us do. Be gentle to yourself. On this side of events, we care more, listen harder, value time with others. We talk about birds and we notice clouds and we have slowed down.

There is a before and an after. Treat yourself gently.
