I had forgotten how much this goal meant to me until I was reading all these entries. I worked from age six until age twelve to get there, and now that I’m there I take it for granted. Six years to get there and about two weeks for the romance of it all to wear off and the blisters to begin. But I still do ballet, and still dance en pointe.
This is completely worth doing if you really really want it. If you’re not really “that into” it’s just a world of hurt.
