A Thank You

If there is anything it is quite easy to become caught up in negative emotions and other events which take such precedence in our lives. I am like most a human being as is everyone and despite what people say, I never thought of myself as a "celebrity" or "famous". I always thought of myself as a person doing what she loves which is dancing and being fortunate enough to be surrounded by amazing, creative and talented individuals.
 Why is this such a bad thing is beyond me. Not everyone will like me and that is perfectly all right. I don't expect everyone to like me that is a fact of life. However, writing such horrible comments about my personal life, my family, and my loved ones is crossing the line; it does not bother me if a person talks about me. I ignore it yet when it is women who are between the ages of 40-50 sending me harassing messages via facebook and twitter it makes me re examine what we are becoming as a society.
  These women are much older than I am by 15-20 years shouldn't they be providing an example for young women especially being a pin up model and a burlesque performer? It is also a reminder that as individuals myself included need to take responsibility for our own actions and how we conduct ourselves online. Bullying does not stop once we finish high school it still can continue and my experience has been proof of that.
  Granted we may have our differences but the constant bashing is un necessary. Thankfully, I am constantly surrounded by positive people in my life who I am so thankful for and can honestly say I am proud they are my "burlesque aunties".
  I don't have any mean things to say towards anyone and for the record no I haven't slandered anyone those are comments these individuals write and published themselves. I am not making myself a victim by any means nor do I feel I am one. But, I am a human being and have feelings I see what people write online and even if it's "private" or not it is still subjected to being made public regardless what we think.
  I am looking forward to creating 3 new numbers in the dance studio and preparing for Trauma in a few months as well so from here on out allowing the positive outweigh the negatives.
