This isn’t a great photo by any means. It’s just the only one I have on this computer and I’m missing this a lot today.  This is me, my senior year in high school at the end of my performance as the Sugar Plum Fairy in The Nutcracker in 2006.

Today more than most days, I just want those pointe shoes back on, the stage with pretty lights, and a rehearsal in The Paramount Theatre all to myself, without anyone watching.
