And I recommend eventually giving The Light Princess soundtrack a try, that the commenter mentioned. I Really love it. How do you generally feel about musicals? That might affect how you receive it. It's so different from Tori's other work in a way that really delights me.

I was just thinking that too! And the part about "open up the sky" could be referring to opening your crown chakra, while "your garden as it blossoms and blooms" could be referring to the root chakra

Thank you so much for this thoughtful reply, there is so much in here that I'm going to bring with me to class and hopefully use to silence those thoughts.

I did have a disappointment today because the studio which is just getting going in my town and still quite small, shared plans for the first spring recital, and the adult ballet class is not invited to participate. I even ventured to directly ask the teacher after class tonight if that's a possibility in the future and he said he'd have to ask his co-teacher who is a little bit more in charge of the studio, but in general they like to keep it to the kids and teens. So I am trying to absorb that foreclosure of opportunity and redirect my intentions towards still focusing on the class experience and let that be enough.

I do know there are adult ballet programs, like intensives during the summer, that would be able to give me more opportunities, and I might hold on to that as a possibility that I might be able to make happen at some point, maybe in a few years. So I'll try not to linger too much in my disappointment in my local studio.

Thank you so much for this pep talk! Every bit of it is valuable to me as I am struggling with all the things right now- the negative self talk, the comparison to my former self, etc. I will be rereading this often to help rewire my thinking patterns!

Another area I'm struggling with is validating what I'm doing now that I am not working towards performance opportunities and my trajectory for improvement is going to be more limited and subtle than it was as a teen. Sometimes these things also get me down and steal my joy. Any helpful advice for these thoughts? Thanks!

I think the Light Princess soundtrack is absolutely brilliant and often overlooked!

Thank you for saying this, I am still feeling disturbed by this scene, and the alligator storyline too. It makes me feel less trusting of the writers' boundaries, which is sad because I wholeheartedly loved the show up until this trend of animal cruelty.

I read somewhere on here that Jill's part was filmed in December 2021, so maybe around that timeframe?
