I do not have long, skinny legs.

I have never once had long, skinny legs.

I probably never will long, have skinny legs.

As a dancer, I’ll probably get rejected from some jobs just because I don’t have long, skinny legs.

My legs have been a source of anxiety for me for years.  My hips are to narrow for me to feasibly have that elusive, genetically-blessed thigh gap, and when my muscles are covered up by jeans I feel like my thighs look like Christmas hams, my calves won’t fit into many skinny jeans, I don’t have fine, delicate ballerina legs that go for miles when I lift them up.  But my chunks are also the reason that I’ve got great stamina,  allowing me to connect with the floor and power through levels.  I may not meet the aesthetic I want to fit so bad, but I’m more than my legs.

oh my gosh. thank you for submitting this because i’m going through the same thing. you have beautiful amazingly toned legs. screw ballet companies.. (;
