When i was a little watered-down asian girl who looked nothing like either of my parents (oh wait, i still am...).... i used to want to be a ballerina. In fact i insisted on wearing my ballet clothes ALL THE TIME. Then this one halloween, i finally wanted to be something a little more gutsy than a ballerina, i wanted to be SUPERGIRL. Yeah, well my bff at the time beat me to the store and got the last costume. Guess who was a ballerina again?
2 hours of trick-or-treating later and who really cared? we were so hyped up off of sugary goodness that i could barely write my name (backwards "Y"s and all). 1 decade and a half later i kinda wish i could shove myself back into that ballerina outfit- kinda wish i had stuck with dancing all these years- dancing was always my first love- sometimes you just gotta MOOOOVE in any way you can, just DANCE.
