In the last week I have made a shit ton of progress in making a life for myself here in Illinois!

I've secured a job as a teacher at a local dance studio as well as a job as a dance accompanist at University of Illinois!

I'm going to Chicago this weekend to audition for a really awesome tap company called Chicago Tap Theatre!

I submitted a video audition to a dance company called Lucky Plush Productions last week and today I was asked to go to Chicago for an in-person audition during which I will be interacting with the company! So I'll have to go to Chicago again on Wednesday haha

It's amazing how when you feel at your lowest that the universal positive energy rushes in to save you like a pack of white blood cells that feast on negative energy!

Any my domestic partner has been nothing short of fucking amazing. She has been generously supportive and caring, always gives me intelligent feedback about my career choices, and unconditionally loves me like I've never felt before.

Today marks the 6 month anniversary of me and Becky's relationship, and I wish to share my thoughts on how lucky I am to have her in my life. When I think about where I was before Becky, literally the only thing I remember is stress, loneliness, and sadness. I was not in a good place, and I was really really REALLY terrible at the whole being single thing...

But when I saw her at that Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane show back in January, I felt the connection right away; and I won't lie, I was definitely a little scared and taken aback by it... but as we slowly began to see each other more often the connection never dwindled for a second.

Looking back at these last few months, and all the challenges we've faced as both partners and humans, I can not even begin to imagine where I would be without her. Literally we do everything together... and I can't even remember the last time I felt legitimate excitement about simply seeing or being around just one person... and we literally haven't been apart more than a week since we've been together.

I may not be the most perfect person in the world. I've made my stupid mistakes and I've fucked up just as royally as the next guy. But this doesn't feel temporary.. and I need everyone to know just how much this woman means to me. I don't feel imperfect around her. I don't feel scared, or alone, or nearly as stressed as I used to. Some how... she has managed to make me a better person, and I will not allow anything to jeopardize what we have.

I love Becky more than anyone can possibly imagine

To the moon and back again...

fdance replied to your post: omg my sister just asked for my tumblr account.
