Tanaquil LeClercq was probably the earliest stringbean ballerina. She was Balanchine’s fourth and final wife. He divorced her for Suzanne Farrell. She was stricken with polio at the height of her career in 1956, and paralyzed from the waist down.

I hate it when I over think things.

Marry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark.

I told someone my story.

But this time I didn’t exclude the embarrassing details. I let them see what I had to live through…but just as I expected…they gave me that look. Now… I didn’t want them to feel sorry for me. It’s in the past, it means nothing to me anymore. But it does show that I don’t give up easily because I didn’t let that stop me.
