Life's too short to give a fuck. I'm turning 40 soon, and I'm very overweight, but about 4 months ago I started dancing; contemporary, modern, hiphop, and voguing.

It kicks my ass all over the place, but I keep going, every day, and I can feel the improvement in my strength, flexibility, and just everything.

I have my first paying performance this week, and I've just been asked to audition for a dance company that's starting up. They know I can't do it all, they know my limitations, but I show up everytime with a smile and ready to work, because I don't care what anyone says, I know I'm fucking awesome and so should you (whoever you are reading this, no seriously you're awesome, go kill it).
