How do you manage to be so funny and so true at the same time? I imagined a standing up corgi with drumstick emoji legs shaking a pair of maracas and lost it.

I want to do things just because I love them. Not make every hobby I have a side hustle. And do things just for myself (like not post my drawings on Instagram).

I took ballet as a child and loved it, but was told that I should take modern dance instead - code for "you're not graceful."

i loved your post on dancing. We all have our own way of seeking our true identity. Now that i have found the real me, am i too old to be me? in writing i can ride horses better than i ever could, certainly train them better. I still have the courage to bring down an escaping sheep and hold it till help arrives. Or react in an emergency. Dancing maybe not, but there are a world of other possibilities where i am my only critic.

Thanks for this Nicole. There is freedom in being terrible but doing it anyway. Aging is that way too. Less fucks given. 🥰
