[x] Trying to stop dancing is like trying to stop breathing
[x] You dance when you're injured
[x] You get tortured when you're injured and you can only see others dance
[x] When you’re REALLY sore and mention it to someone, and they suggest to stop dancing for a bit, you look at them as if they had just suggested you jump off a cliff onto a ragged rocky valley as a solution to your problem
I'm getting emotional now because of the quiz , I'm listening to a very emotional song , my leg is in pain , I'm talking to someone about it and I'm looking at ballet pictures online :((( I'm really trying my best to be happy and yeah not care about it so much but I can't because the pain is a constant bomb ready to explode .
