DsdsHello everyone,
I'm a stay home single mother of two.
How it all started...
I loved singing, painting. Wanted to do it for the rest of my life. Didn't happen.
Growing up with substance abuse by the closest ppl in my life had driven me close to be a certifiable. Was on anti depressants pretty much all my life. On those I finished my collage. Brought up a girl who is 19 now and doing it all over again .. My son is a toddler now. Kicked the meds about 5 Years ago. Yup, went cold turkey. Don't want to describe how it's still going down. At times I wonder may be I will go down with it too as I still fight depression on a regular basis. I know I could call crisis lines, help lines. I have in the past. And cried like a baby .. They just sat quietly on the other side and listened.
My pain never subsided. Still to day it hurts when I think I'm conscious.
After the umtinth time I had to start over my life in 2013. Once again a single mom with a toddler just the way it was 18 years ago. Took my son out for a walk. As I was passing the community centre .. I don't know why or how, Just walked in There. I have never been to a fitness centre before..:)
I asked if there's any dance class taught there. They said Latin American. Also pay upfront and wait untill Nov 2013 , and I'm in august only. I didn't feel too excited .. I wanted something right then. Anyway when I got home I saw zumba . Wasn't very sure what it was but it was 10 bucks a dropping class and it's on the next day!
For the first time since my little guy was born I Never took a break for 3 years. As a matter of fact since I met my ex 6 years of no break, nothing done just for myself. Or even more years than that. So I decided to go out Instead of doing my redundant chores of everyday. And walked Into that class. I tried to dance the day before.. And I was down in 3 minutes. Anyway I went the next day in my jeans and flats
Whoa it was so much fun! I decided to do it everyday if I could.
