Gemstoned
27, midwest. Been hooping for decade+ performing for 5. Piece is inspired by artist blocks and how devastating they feel, internally. But, how different that can look externally. Basically I freed myself of self critic for this routine and even though I feel I can do better, I need to stop and appreciate how far I’ve come. You should too <3
