I am wondering if its normal to feel so depressed because of ballet…

I saw this post on my dash on my personal blog and I think this issue really needs to be addressed. Ballet (and all dance forms) should make you feel amazing, but ballet especially has a tendency to focus on everything you can’t do and the things that you aren’t instead of how perfectly amazing every single one of you are. I don’t think any one who considers themselves a dancer has never felt inadequate. Hell, I’m pretty sure everyone on this earth has felt insecure at some point but like I said ballet puts the spotlight on on all your little insecurities.

Let me make something perfectly clear; you are beautiful. I don’t give a fuck what anyone tells you, you are beautiful to me no matter what. Dancing shouldn’t be about looking like a cookie cutter barbie doll and having no flaws, dance is about embracing yourself exactly the way you are. Taking every bit of yourself and using it to your advantage. The best part of watching dancers do what they love, at least for me, is that they are telling me things about themselves I would never know about them even if we talked for hours. Dance is the purest form of self expression. I don’t give a fuck if you are the worst dancer in the world. If you love it, then I will be captivated. And that’s how dance should make you feel. It’s how it makes me feel. But it’s because I focus on better my dance for me. I strive to get better so I can just feel that much better about myself. I don’t give a shit about what anyone watching me thinks. 

Basically I love all of you guys for the way you are and please never let something you love hurt you.
