You can definitely be human too. Given your childhood it must be very hard to trust people and that will take time. Dance may be your escape, but it sounds like it is also your deep passion, there's no reason why it can't be both. Life can suck and people can really suck but there is a lot of good in this world. I am so sorry you had such a difficult experience growing up. It really saddens me that the evils in this world have made you afraid to trust the wonderful people that exist in this world too. I hope this helps. Hang in there! Sending you positive vibes this morning.

You've already started to bring the dance into your world.  Just let it flow, dont hide, you're hiding from yourself.  BE your dance, be yourself. <3

So sorry to hear about your past. Trust issues can be rough and take time to dissolve. Just keep doing whatever makes you happy. Sending some healing vibrations your way.

your words already show how human you are. I'm sorry about your past, we all have something from then...nobody ever knows just by looking either. I know it's hard to like people, and it's not something i can advise on since I still try myself. All I can say is I decided a long time ago to try to let go of my fears & try to be happy so I could enjoy life. In the end I have very few friends due to my trust issues but I keep on trying...I hope you'll do the same. I hope you can find a balance to find your happiness in life.

You will feel human again someday. Trust me. I never got to dance growing up so now that I hoop it is my escape from reality and my everything. Hoop dance is still a dance, but dancing no matter what kind of dance will help you heal from your past. You have to realize that not everyone wants to hurt you especially other dancers and hoopers! We're just about the most peaceful breed on the planet. If dance is what makes you feel at peace than honey dance your ass off! You have a rare talent to be able to block everyone and everything from your mind on stage...most people are scared to death of crowds so that fact that you fear people is what makes you human. We've all got things in our pasts...but thats where they need to stay... in the past...because if youre stuck in the past....then you'll never move forward. You only get one life to live so if its been shitty so far you....and only you... have the power to change yourself.

Trust is something to work towards. I like hearing this.

Trust is the easiest thing to lose, and the hardest to get back. Hope you feel better..<3
