It was a great night last night! But it didn't look that way at some points. It turned around because I kept my positive attitude and being open to what is.

If I just sat at the sideline like the good little girl the society has conditioned girls and women to be, nothing would have happened. I probably would only get the old creepy guy who tried to pull a pickup artist shit on me to ask me to dance and feeling pretty shitty and go home feeling sad. But I asked guys to dance, I accepted guys' invites I usually might have turned down for whatever reasons my little head created but not justified and I did my best to let it be.

Inhale, exhale.

It's true with dancing and it's true with life. I realized whenever I felt high on life, it's because I took the first step to make it happen.

Sure, good people come to me and good things pop up like a timely deliverance from the universe at times and it feels good when all that happens, but my message is this: don't wait at the sideline just because you're a woman!!

It is a vulnerable place to be. But, it seems that it's where the good things can happen.

#positivity

ps: I'd probably be the one sitting on the sidelines.

💯%

That's why vulnerability is valuable.

But take your time, I was sitting on the sideline for 6 months with dancing. Finally, enough is enough. And I realized guys actually really like when girls ask them to dance haha, even if last minute they looked at me and decided not to ask me, cuz nobody likes rejections.

Thanks for the advice!

I can say I definitely have some fear of rejection.

It seems that the last few years have added a lot more fear/tension in the air.

It's a good place to start practicing.

Maybe start with a small studio, don't go straight to the clubs yet.

How so, about the last few years?

Well, you know...with "zee covids" (face diapers, 2 metres, and puppets screaming fear all day on the noose)

Yes I understood that part.

How is it affecting you? Like, do you feel people might reject more because they bought into those fear?

I guess I feel that I don't fit in, since I don't hold any of the mainstream views. Maybe that's just my perception. Maybe there are way more of people like us out there.

Anyways, #nostr and #bitcoin have given me hope and a new tribe/community.
