The return I usually come to my hometown for the holidays and this year I came back to my parents' house and my childhood room. In this house not only do my parents live, but my childhood trauma lies here too. I hadn't realized it, until I filmed this choreo. This room holds a younger version of me. A scared version of me. Scared to be myself. I was always the disobedient, the rebellious, the headstrong child. My body remembered before my mind did. It remembered the anger, the sadness, the fear I used to feel here. It became tight and stiff. It remembered how I wasn't allowed to be myself back then, and if I was, then I wouldn't be loved. So, today, I tried to change the narrative of this room by dancing a sexy choreo, embracing the woman I have become. Every flaw in. I allowed every ''awkward'' movement, the wrong angle of the phone filming, and everything else. I am welcoming 2024 promising to leave the survival mode behind, to accept myself as I am, to dance with my demons every once in a while, and to bear in mind that I am stronger than anything that tries to bring me down. That's why I chose ''genie in a bottle''. Loved every moment 🙏 Thank you ❤️
