“Talent is ephemeral, aptitude is far more important… There is only one way to fulfil a dream: intense toil. In [ballet] we are faced with constant battles: we battle our own laziness, our ailments.”
— Nikolai Tsiskaridze (opening address at Vaganova Ballet Academy), September 3, 2018.
8•21•2018 ~ My second day of classes.
My ballet class is super basic for me but I suppose “back to basics” isn’t a horrible thing. Also I like my English teacher but the class seems hard. Hate my math teacher though. The whole class is practically online and I HATE doing math work online. Plus she wants us to do so many excel spreadsheet things and idk how to use that stuff lol. Wish me luck guys!

If you’re just barely holding yourself together and you’re delicate right now, that’s okay. Great job on keeping yourself together, and keep going. Things will get brighter.
