*"''Dance world is really tricky. It's really unhealthy. There is so many unhealthy people in the dance world. There are a lot of toxic people and there are a lot of people, they want not be supportive. And it want not to be a very supportive community. "It's seems to be supportive". Everyone says they are supportive to each other, but they are really not. Everyone is just out to get, what is best for them. And when you are succeeding and they are not, they are not really happy for you and vise versa. That how it is. There was like I felt like there is not a lot of support around me and I felt like because I had so much success at the young age that people just cannot stand it. That's fine, but it made it really hard for me. Beyond that, there is a lot of body image issues that come being in the dance world, whether or not is praised, said there are gone or that happened any more, it does! I gone through every dance struggle you could possibly imagine and every dance struggle I ever had, people told me I have to lose weight and I was this big *showing a cycle with tumb and pointing finger*. ... It took me really a long time to learn to be mental stable, but how you can do that is with a good support system and really try to stay grounded, and know a lot of stuff in the dance world then doen't mean anything to you in a few years. I know what was a big deal for me then is not a big deal for me now. Winning that competition doesn't mean anything to me now. Nothing. Like, it's so interesting, because you move yourself in a situation, oh my god, everything seems so big. It's really not a big deal. So being much easier to yourself, because you do it because you love it and you cannot listen to any other noice. That's what I think. And that's I think how I get a healthy relationship with dance and being in the dance world. But it took me out of it so long. Hmm I was like, "I destroyed my fandom.", I guess you might can say. - Not you, because you guys are here. You guys are so awesome. - "I destroyed my fandom and my name in a sence", like many people told me that all the time, but my mental health was at risk and I think quiting dance for three years I did and remove myself from the dance world, was the best thing I had ever done for myself, because it told me how to be normal and it told me have a healthy relationship with myself. And I think that has to come always first and if not; take a step back and look at it for what it is and don't put not to much pressure on you to do or be a certain way and know that everything comes at time.
