Let me just be straight up with you all…“All You” is about understanding, accepting, and enjoying All of You. Period. It’s understanding that you are never going to be good enough for others, but you will sure as hell be MORE than enough for yourself. It’s accepting all that you have to offer, that includes your flaws! Lastly, it’s about enjoying all that you experience in this life because there are no do-overs! As you can see, there are a variety of topics we will dive into - fashion, food, travel, gossip, art, work, even going deep into our feelings. Yes, I’m talking about those 3:00 am talks about anything and everything. This is a place where we can all learn and grow together through things we may or may not relate on.
Growing up I was always that kid that wanted to create new things and dip my toes into different activities. Swimming, gymnastics, singing, music, soccer, and dance. I was more on the chunky side, so sports weren’t always my thing. I was prone to getting hit in the face with a soccer ball in elementary school. Dance was the only thing that came into my life when I was 3 years old; and has turned into an organ in my body. It has made me the person I am today. It’s my voice, my heart, my happiness, my struggle. I know I may sound crazy, but if you have a passion for anything, then you understand that feeling.
Quick mini slide show!
Let me take you back to what I said before, I love to create. I lost that love for a few years though. There was a very dark period where it felt like things were falling apart. I was struggling in college, I stopped dancing, I had some family problems, and I was dealing with a very rough breakup. I felt so isolated and alone that drowning myself in work to ignore the pain sounded like a great idea. My hair was falling out, I stopped eating, but it felt like I had to prove to everyone that I was ok. In reality, I was on this rollercoaster that continuously made me emotionally and physically sick.
For several years, I would get so mad at myself for not being as happy as I used to be. I was finally fulfilling my childhood dream becoming a professional dancer, so why did it feel like I was still incomplete? It was up until 7 months ago where I finally understood that I didn’t fully accept myself for who I am; and that broke me. It was time to STOP ignoring and start feeling, I had to understand that I’m human and it’s ok to not be ok.
I’m learning that there’s no such thing as the “right” time. Life is always going throw curve balls, it’s how you pick up the ball and chuck it right back! One thing I will never do is give up. No matter who told me I couldn’t do it, or what obstacles blocked me, I wouldn’t let anything stop me from going for what I want. I am far perfect, I’m actually one of the clumsiest dancers you’ll meet…You may laugh, but I don’t think I’ve gone one day without tripping over something! Perfection doesn’t exist in my eyes though, and I like it that way. So enough about me! I want to invite all my perfectly imperfect women, and men, to come on this journey and know that it’s ok to mess up. We may fall down a 1,000 times hurting and struggling, but understand that we are going to stand back up and keep going. We are here to THRIVE in this life that is ALL YOU.
