Hello all!
I'm brand new to this forum but I am so grateful to have found it. I have already learned a lot just by browsing around the different threads, but I need some advice with something I haven't heard mentioned. If you have had the same type of trouble please let me know! I'll appreciate any feedback I can get.
I started dancing about a year and a half ago and went on "vacation" 2 months ago. Obviously there were parts of the job that irked me (but what job doesn't have those?), but I loved it. But about two months ago I started getting burnt out with juggling work and school and some personal issues and decided to take some time off. I wasn't sure at the time if it was going to be temporary or for good.
But here lies the problem. I have been dating my boyfriend for a little over a year now. He treats me very well and has been very supportive of me but had a lot of trouble with me dancing towards the end. Part of the reason I took a break from dancing was for him. He got upset seeing me upset some nights and hearing about the few disrespectful men who would come in.
But I miss it. I miss dancing so much. I have dreams about it almost every night and when I hear songs I used to dance to I get a little teary-eyed. I miss the rush I got on stage, the interactions with some of the customers, the sisterhood between the girls, and of course, the money. I am torn because I know that I miss dancing but I also know how upset and sad my boyfriend would be if I went back. If you have any similar experiences, advice, or even just comments, please let me know. Thank you so much!
-Gia
