CURRENT MISSION

Trying to make my dreams reality. Living, experiencing, discovering.

ABOUT ME

I'm Sarah, an easygoing fun-loving, intelligent vegetarian. Most people, upon learning this, want to know why, and whether I eat eggs and cheese. I say, "Because I don't like the taste of meat, and yes I'm not a vegan." Beyond that I'm a college graduate ballerina dancing in my first "real" job. Dance is my life, and it's my one passion...one thing I hate is people who can't realize how challenging and athletic it is, and just dismiss it as something easy and girly.

But beyond ballet, I'm a very smart and chill person. I love to sit around and read a book, or just be outside in nature. I often feel the call to just be outside and listen to the birds and smell the dirt (but all too often my many jobs keep me indoors). I'm not an intellectual snob, but I generally don't make friends with people who aren't very bright.

Quick facts:
I'm a slob, I can't keep my room clean for more than a week. I blame the fact that I'm never in my room unless I'm sleeping or changing clothes.
I'm addicted to chocolate. It can become a problem sometimes.
Food is not something to be taken lightly. If you're going out to eat, then go somewhere you CAN'T go any old time! So that's no fast food or Applebee's etc.
I take care of my body. You can count on seeing me at the gym every morning doing cardio. And I watch what I eat (although I don't diet, that's just silly)

Anything else, you can just ask me :)

PHILOSOPHY

I always maintain that one should follow the advice of Joseph Campbell and "Follow your bliss." Why else would I be a dancer? I'm certainly not in it for the money...

And another feeling I have is that people should not be afraid to be themselves. Not the person you want to be, or you think people want you to be. Just be you.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I can teach you to dance, or at least have an awareness about your body. Ballet isn't for everyone, but it's certainly something everyone can try. I can also teach you about vegetarianism and smart nutrition, since that's pretty much my life.
