I am almost 30 and still single, a major point of contention for my very Catholic family. I am also a lesbian, one more point against me in my family. I choose not to talk to my biological mother, I have a mother who has always been there, through every stage of my life. She was the first family member I came out to...her family (my family) knows I'm gay, they don't care.
The only person I am close to from my biological family is my Grandmother, who essentially raised me as a single parent. I love her and she drives me crazy.
I work, a lot! I run my own personal training business, I am a group fitness instructor, I am a professional dancer, and I also work as a server on the weekends. Yes I'm busy but I like the freedom that the extra income gives me. Also, I, more or less, get to dictate my own schedule. and work when I want/need to. I am not well off or rich by any means. I make enough to cover my rent, bills, and anything extra that I want or need. Money isn't important to me, it never has been.
I just started dancing again May 2013 after not being medically cleared to for 3 years. By August 2013, I was offered a job in a company. I used to be a professional Ballet dancer and retired from that at 23, due to my eating disorder. I currently dance with a Contemporary Modern company. All of my confidence and self worth is wrapped up into how rehearsal goes that day. Sometimes, I want to give up...mostly, I just want to be the best.
I speak 5 languages fluently. My ex was deaf and I sign proficiently and it's my chosen way of communication. If I don't have to use my voice, I don't. Most of the people I come in contact with are hearing but if they know me well, chances are they've picked up some sign language as well. I have more deaf friends than hearing friends.
I have Anorexia Nervosa. Basically, a raging eating disorder that is totally out of control. No one really knows how bad things are. I am a master at being whatever everyone wants me to be. I strive for perfection in everything, I know it's not possible. That doesn't stop me. Everyday I go and go and go and my body runs on fumes. I always push my body so hard, it's a way of life, not a phase.
This is me, in a nutshell.
