Hi. <3
This afternoon I found my old ballet slippers. Once, they were pale pink. Now they are a dirty, faded, rosy beige. The leather has worn off of the toes, and the insoles are now a greyish brown from some dirt... and a lot of sweat. Those ballet slippers have been through a lot. I loved them a lot.
Ballet is a chapter of my life that has been closed for a while, but I still like to dance sometimes. I tried the slippers on, but they were too small. When I tried to dance in them, I found that I couldn't. They just held onto my feet to tightly. I took them off.
But instead of shoving them back in the closet where I had found them, I decided to hang them on the wall by my desk. Now whenever I look at them, I can remember the time when ballet was my life. I have many sour memories from that time, but also many more good memories. I think it is important not to ignore the past, but to use it to help guide our futures.
See you around,
-Li
