WordPress is still doing their daily writing prompts. For quite some time, I’ve been ignoring them because I don’t want to answer the questions or talk about the topic. (There are some things I just will never want to talk about online…) Sometimes, I see one I like but decide not to use it. Today, I’m stuck trying to figure out what to blog about. This is when I saw one of WordPress’ daily writing prompts: Who are your favorite people to be around?
This was something I’ve been lamenting about on a regular basis for years. I have people I want to be around: My friends.
Everyone has heard of Valentine’s Day, but have you heard of Galentine’s Day? It is a non official holiday, celebrated on February 13th. It originally started as an episode of the TV series, Parks and Rec. The episode, called Galentine’s Day, is from season 2 and is the 16th episode in the series.

I love ballet. I love watching it on TV and live in person. I love the magic of the performance, the costumes, the scenery, the music, and the story of ballets. When I was young, I wanted to take ballet lessons not to become a ballerina but because I thought it would be fun. Although I didn’t take them due to a lack of money, I had friends that did. And a few of them stuck with ballet and dancing to become professional level dancers. Years later, they are no longer professional dancers but are still my friends and saw me through tough spots in my life and was my support system during my health crisis.
Although I don’t want to be a ballerina and my interest in taking ballet lessons is gone, I still follow people online who are dances. One of those people is Kathryn Morgan. Kathryn was a principle dancer for New York City Ballet before suffering becoming ill and quitting ballet for many years. Last year, she has returned to ballet and now currently works as a principle dancer for the Miami City Ballet. Recently, she posted this video on her YouTube channel that addressed in a different way my current body image problems and reminded me of my friend’s old body image problems while they were dancers.
