I f*cked up

I haven’t battled in 10 years.

And last night my ADHD did something embarrassing.

I went to a dance battle..

After I paid for entry, the guy told me to sign my name on the line. But I didn’t even look at what I was signing.

I thought I put my name on the spectator list.

But it was actually the battlers list.

And when they called my name for prelims, I was so confused.

“Is it a different Paris?”

“There has to be a mistake..”

But it was me. My “higher self” signed that list.

In this moment I had a choice to decline.. or to say yes.

To do something I “say” I’ll try again for years.

So I said yes – even though I had no intention of battling. And it went terrible.

I got a song out of my comfort zone.
I wasn’t present with my round.
I was nervous and anxious.

But I’m glad I said yes. Because I feel uncomfortable.

And this is where I grow.
