The Balancing Act - Pole vs. Life
You know when you first start pole dancing it's a passion you just can't picture yourself without. You live it in minutes, and hours. You breathe it, you invest so much time into researching, watching, looking, reading.
Yet, like any relationship, you find over time the passion can wane, it becomes really quite fluid with it's ebbs and flows. Sometimes it's intense, other times just a thought in the back of your mind. You work hard to not lose interest, but sometimes life and other responsibilities, or even desires get in the way.
I find myself in this position frequently.
There are times when I live and breath pole, times when I feel like I am it personified. Then there are those times when I just want to hide in my garden... I hate gardening, but I love the results, love soaking it all up while sitting and just looking at it in wonder thinking to myself, "I made that!".
There are times when I need to nurture my relationship with my family members, my dog, my strange cats. There are times when I look at my house and I'm all ugh, yeah should give it a good clean. There are times when I need to just check out from it all and read a few chapters of one of the many books I have on the go. To find my centre, to re-fill my energy cup.
It's all about finding that balance, and it's really hard.
No one can do it in perfectly balanced ratios, I believe.
Sometimes we're just stamping out spot fires as we see them coming up to stay on top of things. Sometimes parts of what we want to do and who we want to be will be neglected while we tend what needs our attention in the moment.
I find I get that way with blogging. But I also find there are times I yearn to do it, to reconnect again. I find they are my most creative times. If you've stuck with me this far I'm grateful. It's not something I want to give up because I love it. I love the feedback, love sharing.
I've actually got my new website up and running... though in the vein of what I've just told you, it's not as up to date as it could be, because LIFE.
I have expanded my blog to start to give you snippets into the other parts of my world should you be curious or not, it's always your choice as the reader.
There's my Shoe Life, really this is just a discrete way of saying Shoe Porn. Well, it will be when I turn my focus towards it more frequently.
Then there is my Home Life. I will try to share the odd wisdom, funny, snippet of my world outside of poling, because there is one and there needs to be one to help us stay whole and healthy; to keep us growing and moving forward. And to help us appreciate what it is we can do and be, as well as the awesomeness that comes with being pole dancers :)
Thank you for being a part of this experience.
