My Love for Dance 🦢

---------------------------------------------------

Some people have a favourite hobby. I have a place where I feel completely myself.

For as long as I can remember, I've loved dancing. There's something about it that feels therapeutic and natural. Whenever I step on stage and dance my heart out, I feel content, confident, and like I truly belong.

Although I've never had any professional training, I've been part of my school's dance club for nearly three years. It's more than just a club. It's a community of people who share the same passion, led by a teacher whose choreography is so incredible and jaw-dropping.

Recently, I've started choreographing my own dances. What began as short routines to TikTok sounds turned into creating a full performance with one of my closest friends. Last year, we performed our own choreography to Nice to Each Other by Olivia Dean, and it remains one of my favourite memories.

I wouldn't call myself an amazing dancer, but I've grown so much over the years. And honestly, nothing makes me happier than hearing someone compliment my dancing. It reminds me why I fell in love with it in the first place.

Thank you for reading this week's blog post! What's your favourite hobby? I'd love to know! <3

Is Clark Kent Superman or Is Superman Clark Kent

 I've been wondering, can you separate a symbol, idea, or feeling from a person. 

I'm a big fan of the DC, well not that big per say; if you were to ask me something niche about the DC then I probably wouldn't know the answer. But it's not like I'm larping, I've genuinely been a fan for give or take 3 years. 

I watched a video recently, it was a video essay on the DC multiverse. Halfway through I began thinking about the heroes and what they represented. Hope, strength, unity, but mainly hope. 

Then I thought, does the mask represent hope or is the person behind that mask responsible for inciting such a powerful feeling. Can you replace superman with another person literally anyone else. And would that new face bring about as much hope as 'Clark Kent' would. 

I think it’s the mask that inspires hope. After all, the people of Metropolis only ever saw the mask. However, it’s the person behind it—their principles and actions—that make the hero. Are the people of Metropolis seeing Superman as their saviour, or the person behind the mask? Would Superman inspire such hope if Clark Kent hadn’t chosen to be a beacon of light for Metropolis? No. If he never chose to be Superman, never put himself in harm’s way for others, Superman wouldn’t exist. Superman is merely an idea, a symbol of goodwill and hope. This raises another query: couldn’t anyone make those same choices? Couldn’t any person decide to be Superman, and still be loved and appreciated? After all, anyone can wear the mask. 

Clark Kent may be replaceable, but Superman is not.

Let’s step out of fiction and into reality. Unfortunately, there are no superheroes with incredible powers or intergalactic ones like the Green Lanterns or Martian Manhunter. There’s no clear symbol of 'good' because no one is 'good'. Watch the news for a week and it quickly becomes clear we’re pretty messed up. Wars, famine, hunger, and social injustices happen every day, and there’s no hero who shows up to kick the bad guys out. Maybe we just need to take inspiration from our fictional heroes and become heroes ourselves. How? I’m not sure. But perhaps we can follow Clark’s example and make choices that shape us into our very own 'Superman'.

If Clark Kent could do it, can't you?

---------------------------------------------------

Quick notes: I realise 'anyone can wear the mask' is an MCU thing particularly in regards to Spiderman.

This isn't what I generally write about, but I've just got so many things I really wanna explore. I've the feeling this won't be the last 'philosophical' sort of post. I'll try to keep them short I promise. 

 There haven't been a lot of diary entries lately tho cause quite frankly I haven't journaled in a bit. We'll see if I can return to my diary phase soon. [hopefully I do, that's what this entire blog's about]

If you made it this far share your thoughts. I'd love to hear them. See you later 💌

Mini Catch up!

Hi lovelies 💌, 

I haven't posted in a very long while because I've been struggling to find time as I have been juggling quite a bit. So sit back and relax while I put you up to speed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

I feel like I mention school a lot but alas, yes I have been busy trying to study as much as possible for these November mocks. I had a few teary sessions - I think I am over reacting - so its been a bit of a struggle just trying to make sure I get the grades I want. Plus, I have been to a few open event to some colleges trying to check out their apprenticeships and t-level courses. 

But there has been something to keep my mind of school - which is my volunteering! I volunteer every Saturday at a local charity shop it used to be 9-11 but now its 11-1, so yes the hours are short and my shift goes by super quickly. I am soo happy that I decided to volunteer, like literally the people I have met are so nice and super welcoming. I also really enjoy working the till, and I've gotten really good at starting small conversations with the customers. Like yes! Even one time, a woman walked in and when I smiled she complimented me, I will literally cherish that moment forever. <3

More good news! My Pinterest has been doing really well, before I never used to get any engagements on my pins; but with a recent pin I uploaded literally so many people reacted to it or saved it I'm soo happy my account is actually getting some attention. If you want to check it out I'll paste the link below. 

I am also looking forward to Halloween this year as I'm going to be hanging out with my friends; we're going to dress up and watch some Halloween movies. Can't wait!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, enough about me! how are you? Anything exciting coming up? Are you looking forward to Halloween? I'd love to hear form you <3
