An Open Letter

I’ve been really struggling with depression the last few days, but today after therapy I felt better. I fucked up my beginner dance class today, and when I went home I decided might as well try to learn a choreo for the first time. I’ve wanted to try that for a long time, but never actually did — and so might as well just do it. I was dancing for an hour already for the class, and then danced at home for another 3.5 hrs learning the choreo, all during the heat advisory. I was sweating out of my fucking MIND, and also beyond exhausted, but I ended up learning the first half and was so fucking proud of myself. I keep watching the best video take of me, and I like can’t believe that’s me. I’m so proud of myself.
