“It has caused me to try and be more friendly”

I do ballet. Ballet is not the friendliest. I’m very open to meeting new people but when you go to a class generally no one really talks to you. It is something you have to get used to and know it’s not really personal. It’s just how it works. You kind of feel rejected or an outsider. You can’t let it bother you. I go because I love it.

It has caused me to try and be more friendly, not to change it and it has given me stronger skin too.

I didn’t have stuffed animals when I was little. I had a blanket, a security blanket that I loved. And I had it forever until I was 16 or older. It gave me all the comfort and security in the world. I could be having a bad day or miss someone or feel sad and lonely and my blanket would give me everything I could possibly need. It would make me so happy and content. I didn’t need anything else in the world.
