“I’m gonna keep on dancing!”

And that all of that hard work I did in the back half of 2023 isn’t gonna be for nothing. I’m gonna do something with my life, and I finally, in the year of our lord 2025, feel I can start making those steps towards that promise I made to myself. 🧵(6/?)

This past month has felt like a whole other year, traveling this extensively for the first time since since 2021, and the things I did and people I’ve met over this time have given me a new lease on life, a hope in myself that I can make it, 🧵 (5/?)
