Dancing my worries away: April 6th 2023

I only realised the full moon was yesterday when I went outside for a smoke at night. It was bright and strong.

Me? I didn’t feel strong at all. I felt like giving up. I felt the weight of my stupido boss and all my coworkers coming to me to talk about all his new stupid ideas on my shoulders. Every new idea more stupid than the previous one.

I was very quiet at work. My 2 closest colleagues noticed it straight away and one of them put a delicious caramel chocolate bar on my desk to brighten my mood.

I didn’t touch it. Neither my lunch or any food for that matter. Instead tears were rolling down my face, as I realised I can’t win this. I will have to leave yet another company and look for a new job. Everyone else has given up and adjusted to this predator and I just can’t fight for everyone alone. I’m exhausted.

I came back home with eyes swollen from crying and
Besides, dancing is really the only thing that makes me really happy and… #alive

Back in a day, Thursdays at Alchemy was our regular meet up point. Then life and politics happened and we rarely show up there together.

So I pushed through my resistance, put some leggins on and drove to my friends place. The energy the three of us created instantly made me feel like it was a good decision. They knew I wasn’t in a happy mood, my eyes gave everything out. They let me moan about stupido and told me about their week on our drive to Alchemy.

Then we joined the body movement class and although we didn’t stand next to each other, having them both near me made me feel so blissfully supported and… strong again.

Only after the first class, when I went outside I realised it was full moon. We never plan these things for the full moon, but that’s how it always turns out. The power of the coven is the strongest then 😍

For the second class we took the first line and shined throughout. I felt so proud, especially of Nunzia, who didn’t attend this class for years, yet she followed everything as if it was a walk in the park. Our teacher still calls her Nutella, like back in a day. Out little inside joke 😁

And then the social dancing started. The part that I love the most. Everything else is just a warm up.
