Two years ago I would've never have had the courage to perform. The thought of putting myself out there filled me with dread. However, now there's nothing in the world I love more....and that's thanks to the people who stand beside me for believing in me so much so that I started to believe in myself.
Dance and dwarfism doesn't always see eye to eye, some days it hurts. A lot. And some days I struggle to keep up... But still... I keep going and it is not my body that pulls me through but instead.. my passion and adrenaline. And despite knowing I am not the best... I know I am doing my best.
For so long I used to be afraid to step out there... to have all eyes looking at me because in the past, never once has that been a positive experience. I let the words and opinions of others hold me back. But those who stare, those who laugh.... they'll have 2 minutes of my life then will be gone, never to be seen again... but the confidence, motive, and purpose that comes from when I dance.... that will stay with me for a lifetime.
To anyone who has a dream. A passion... that isn't being fulfilled due to the opinion of others. The fear of looking different. The worry that you'll never be good enough... be brave... take the leap of faith... be bold enough to step out there... because I did. And my life will never be the same again.
