Get Out Of My Swamp!!! (Random Book)

The problem of dance class

    So...I take dance. In case you didn't know, which I doubt any of you did because I haven't mentioned it. But that's what this chapter is all about.

"Running is a great way to clear up last night's bad choices." Maybe I should run more...just kidding. If you know where that quote is from then let's be friends.

Okay y'all. So I'm at the age where dance class is less fun than having the constant pressure of having to be an awesome dancer. And let's face it, I'm not an awesome dancer. I'm not even an okay dancer. And I've been at it since I was three. I'm the worst person in my whole age group. There's a girl that's two years younger than me who has pointe shoes and I don't.

Pointe Shoes

Before I go any further, let's talk about pointe shoes. Do you know those shoes where ballerinas go all the way up onto the tip of their toes? Yeah it's those. It's these special shoes that have wood at the toe that you have to balance on. Getting the shoes is like the ultimate goal of any ballerina.

But that's not the pointe of this chapter. (Lol that was a quality pun)

Dance just doesn't interest me anymore. It's too much about competition and I'm not good enough and it just isn't fun anymore. It's supposed to be fun and make you happy. That's the point of dancing. But I just don't enjoy dance like I used to. And I've brought this up with my mum but I doubt she'll let me drop out anytime soon...🙁 Oh well. I'm hoping that as I enter the new school year at a brand new school I'll find a club that interests me and I can join that instead.

Dance used to be so fun and exciting for me and now I dread going to class. But if I quit, I don't have anything else to do but sit in my room and be a disappointment to everyone around me. I want to quit. But then my parents will probably try and make me get out and do more stuff in the vain attempt to make me make friends. They don't understand that I can't just make friends.

New topic: my lack of friendliness

I'm going into a new school, as I said, and when I talk about how I won't have any of my friends in the same class as me, everyone just says "Oh, you'll make friends." That's the thing, though. I can't make friends. Not in real life, hardly even online. But I know that sometimes it's just meant to be. I'm hoping I'll find friendships in this school that are meant to last. I really need friends in real life. I only have a few. And I consider most of my friends to be my best friends.

     Oh and here's a question: do fictional characters count as friends? If so I have a lot of friends!

     Also I would love if you guys could ask and dare me stuff! I've got the book for it, I just haven't had many questions! I would really like if you guys would check it out. Not trying to be one of those self-promo people but...yeah. Give me some tough questions! I'd like to have to make some heartbreaking decisions!!! I want to fail miserably at drawing something I was dared to!!!  Should I try to draw Yuri Plisetsky? Random, but I don't care.
