    this is different from most of my videos, but i wanted to share my life story because i feel like this context is necessary to understanding me. ballet was such a big part of my life so it feels strange when people don't know that i dance. however!! completely understandable considering i rarely talk about it on this corner of the internet. but now the not-so-secret is out so feel free to ask me any questions you have 🫶

    ahhh i'm so happy to see you thriving!!! as someone older who's doing her undergrad degree, i can relate to this a lot. tbh i never tell my classmates how old i am cause i'm too embarrassed to say it (and ageism is real on my side of the world) but i can tell the confused expressions on people's faces upon realizing that i've lived another life when they look at my social media. as a result, i've become a rather closed off and shy person. seeing a non-traditional student like you in online spaces means a lot to me and i'm so thankful for the representation. all the best to you and your academic and non-academic pursuits!

      thank you so much for sharing!! and yes, being a non-trad student can get quite lonely but it's definitely reassuring to know we're not alone. i'm cheering for you and wish you all the best for your pursuits! 💗

      I’m sorry they made you feel that way. When I went to college I met people way older people going for the first time. And I was like wow that’s awesome like it’s never too late. But I will say maybe I was too young because I ended up picking something practical instead of something I loved. And now I’m thinking of going back to see what I like 💙

    woow I didn't know that you were a PROFESSIONAL ballerina. I remember your vlog from Paris, where you were searching for pointe shoes! However, you seem to be very excited about your new film classes! I am wishing you all the best :D

    I’m so happy for you. I quit my masters program this year and I might go back to school for something else or do something else. I went for something so practical the first time and I feel like I just wanna try so many things and make mistakes and see where it goes. I’m 29 and still figuring it out and it’s not easy to commit to one career or job. But thank you so much for sharing! Can’t wait to see more content 💖

    Oh I really enjoyed this video, I met you through the video of how I organize my life (notion tour + free template), because well I just left university I was studying dentistry, I'm 19 years old and I identified a lot with your video because throughout my In my life I tried hard to get into university just because I wanted to study that but when I finally got in I realized how empty I felt and my mental health is really very deteriorated, so I decided to leave university to prioritize myself and find who I am, what I want to study and your video made me realize that there are many other opportunities and things that you can do and now I feel happy because I already know what I want to achieve in my life, you are a source of inspiration for me because I finally found someone person similar to me, I am looking for ways to organize my life again and your channel is very good, I admire you ♥

    I had my best ballet experience in life during the summer of 2020. I can still recall the details of the lessons although it has been more than three years. I always tell ppl that Alexandra and her dad are the best ballet teachers that I have encounter in life! If they want me to recommend any ballet teachers, my answer is definitely u guys! Thanks for sharing and being an inspirational person!

    most privileged sounding title ever 😭 sorry this just popped in my recommended n I thought the title was so out of touch and funny, no hate

    • @clara3681
      @clara3681 9 месяцев назад +9

      just because something could be “out of touch” to you it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s “out of touch” with other peoples lifestyle. even if u don’t mean malice it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not hurtful to be on the receiving end of such comments, being told that the content that you genuinely produced, based off your own life experiences and challenges are “privileged” and “out of touch”. I do agree that to have such opportunities is a privilege but i just think it’s kind of sad that after watching this video all you have to talk about is how privileged they are.
      to you it might be a joke but I think it’s worth considering that for the receiving party it might come across as demeaning and undermining the challenges theyve experienced.
