Life Is Good
Life is not always good but when it is, I want you to know it. I'm finally admitting it. I'm admitting that life is good and I'm not just saying it because it feels like that's what I should say...I REALLY MEAN IT. Life is good right now. I've let so much time go by worrying about what was missing or what I wanted more out of life. I've stressed over my direction and how the rest of my peers seemed more settled than I did in so many aspects of their lives. Comparison is the thief of joy. There are so many aspects of my own life I was overlooking that were keeping me from enjoying it, mainly myself.

6 Surprising Life Lessons Everyone Can Learn From Scottish Dancers
Scottish Highland Dancers like myself spend years being reminded to point their toes, correct their positioning, and jump higher off the ground, but these technical corrections are only the surface of the things I learned through dance. When I was younger, I used to laugh when my teacher would tell me winning a medal was "just the icing on the cake" at a competition. Now, as a young adult, I find myself examining my personal qualities and being surprised by how many of them were a result of my years of lessons, training workshops, and competitions. This list is only a handful of those characteristics and lessons-learned, and I believe everyone, Highland Dancer or not, can relate to what I learned from my years of practicing and competitions.

How I Learned to Love Myself
It wasn’t long ago that I would get invited out with my friends, and I felt that I had nothing to wear that made me... “beautiful.” I would cancel my plans, and instead cry staring into the mirror absolutely disgusted with everything I was. Have you ever been to a Hollywood party? Maybe there’s a better suited question. Have you ever watched an episode of The Hills? Imagine walking into the room of a Teen Vogue summer party feeling like you have UGLY COW written across your forehead, and everyone reads it as they pass you. That was me. That was how I felt. All. The. Time.

New Year, New Beginnings...

Ken Jouself
I guess it’s sort of a cliché to say, “confidence is key,” but as well as it is a cliché, it’s also very true. Someone told me that other day that people shouldn’t watch or go on social media, so that they do not feel less than another individual or simply insecure. I disagree with this concept. Now, I believe that people with insecurities should take steps to becoming more secure and confident with themselves and if turning off social media helps you, then by all means do that, but I want us to look at the thing we fear will create an insecurity and face that head on. Rebuttal the negativity with positivity. I believe confident comes with knowing yourself enough to see “bad” comments about yourself. To know others are not so fond of you and be okay with that because you love you.
