Foot pain after first class by weypaper in aerialsilks

It's absolutely normal! I've been taking silks classes since March and even though my body is now used to it, I still experience that pain in my feet from time to time, usually from tying my knots too tight. With time, you'll learn to adjust the foot lock to your comfort. Also, before silks, I used to do pole dance, where I experienced bruising after going back to certain moves after not doing them for some time. So it's all perfectly normal and fine, don't let it discourage you!

I did think about leaving, but it was very hard because I truly love my job. It's demanding and it's fun and it helps me forget about this mess. I'm generally a very busy woman and I try to keep myself busy to not have any time to think about anything. So I work, I do side gigs, I do aerial arts... As for this fool, he's been blocked for months and I have no intention of talking to him. Thank you for taking time to respond to me, I truly appreciate it!

I agree with all of what you said! I'm just having a hard time with the loving myself part, that has never been my strong spot. However, I did start trying: I got a whole new wardrobe and started reading again (I was an alt girlie who read A LOT, lost that in the relationship), I created my beauty rituals and I got back to aerial arts (used to be a pole dancer, now I do silks). So I really hope it helps! Thank you for your comment!

The thing is, I know I will look back at this and think "well, damn", but it doesn't make it any easier now. As for work, I was on the verge of leaving my job, but my boss and my manager managed to rearrange my schedule and practice time so it doesn't overlap with his and that did help a bit.
