33rd Birthday

Today is my 33rd birthday! If I look back 10 years, on this day I was living my dream: dancing in NYC, celebrating my 23rd birthday with my friends, and thinking in 10 years I would still be living my dream of dancing professionally.

My 32nd year was a year of discovering that some of the people I thought were my friends, actually were toxic. They thought I knew nothing; that my feelings didn’t matter; and that I overreacted. I finally stood up for myself and eliminated those people from my life.

I’m starting my 33rd year with that behind me. A fresh start. A new treatment. Friends that respect, appreciate and love me. The people who follow my posts, pray for me, and send me comforting messages. You continue to be my biggest support system. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am grateful to start my 10th year living with metastatic breast cancer with you beside me. #breastcancer#baldballerina #metastaticbreastcancer#33rdbirthday #birthday#birthdaycelebration
