Berlin is an absolutely adorable city! I still haven’t gone to see the “tourist” sights,but have just danced and wandered. Berlin is a gentle and timid city. Very quiet but at the same time lively. It has been beautiful with little snow falls daily,so a bit cold, but still not a rough city. It feels like Berlin will sweetly take you in and softly fuel daydreams of greatness.
Dance class is really fun. I took class yesterday from a girl who is from Durham NC, and is just here for 6 months. it was a fun class and we got to talk about north Carolina (if anyone reading doesn’t know Durham is where my Dad lives and I used to live).
I feel like I am getting more bruises and floor burns than I used to. I broke off half a toenail today. I have ankle burns, elbow burns and a VERY bruised left glute. It isn’t the most comfortable thing, but I’m not always about the comfort either. I realized today that I think part of the excessive bruising and burning is from taking more risks (ah, how cliché. Dance teachers love to tell you to take more ricks. Yup, I am a class A dork). But really, I feel like I am able to let my body go farther. I used to marvel that I didn’t get more banged up, doing the things I do, and right now I feel like I have let go of some of the fear and tension that was keeping me “safe”. So I end taking my body into unusual places. Dies ist sher gut!
