Injuries.

Hi. I know this may sound like my life isn’t all that great but it is and it has it’s good parts for sure, but high school is hard and right now especially is a rough patch for me. So about 9 months ago I dislocated my shoulder right at the end of dance season. (I am a competitive hip hop dancer) I had to miss one competition and then rehabilitate my injury during the summer so it wouldn’t happen again. But sadly two weeks ago three weeks in to the new season, it happened again. I remember going dark, people screaming, me screaming, shaking I could barely here anything. And now because of my stupid actions and bad decisions, I had to quit my only outlet/activity for the year. Dance was my place for creative expression, exercise, friends. And now it’s a good memory that makes me long for it every day I’m gone from it. I can only wish for it back though that will never be the case. Tomorrow is the day we find out my options. I want the surgery done. I feel like I need a better excuse for quitting one of my loves. It isn’t enough for me just to be me and lonely and bored all year, I need that for myself. So I guess all I can do now is breathe and wait for tomorrow. Wish me luck!

PS Hospitals don’t scare me anymore, I’ve been really sick, almost died a couple times, I’m numb to them now. This picture reminds me when I was seven with brain problems living in the hospital. xoxoxo
