WHAT I THINK AND FEEL BY: ANONYMOUS

I have always felt different in a sense, I've never had any crushes and have never felt an attachment to love. I've always been uncertain of who I am because gender has felt distant for me. Now my point of view on the LGBTQ+ community is that it's a mess. People can be really rude because they won't accept the way you are, will look at you weird on how you identify yourself, but some will be accepting

LO QUE PIENSO Y SIENTO POR: ANONIMO

Siempre me he sentido diferente en un sentido, nunca me he enamorado y nunca he sentido un apego al amor. Siempre he estado insegura de quién soy porque el género me ha parecido distante. Ahora, mi punto de vista sobre la comunidad LGBTQ+ es que es un desastre. La gente puede ser muy grosera porque no aceptarán tu forma de ser, te mirarán raro por cómo te identificas, pero algunos lo aceptarán

Everyone has a passion. My passion is dancing, and I’ve always loved dancing. I've always wanted to join a folkloric dance group but never had the opportunity until 3 years ago

I decided to get out of my comfort zone and join Sangre De Mexico, which is owned by Julio Garcia At first, it was hard since I didn’t know any of the steps or the people I felt so alone and different since everyone there had been dancing for over a year Fortunately, with time, I was able to learn the steps and have the opportunity to travel to Las Vegas and Chicago

It is an amazing feeling to get out of your comfort zone and discover your passion. I have been dancing for about three years now It has helped me get through so many challenges This is my passion, now it's time to discover yours!
