Antics of a Dancing Monkey

by Dance-Monkey ~ We've got this

Rated: 13+ · Book · Biographical · #1993895

A public journal? Sounds like a really bad idea!

Life is like a box of chocolates a dance floor!
Sometimes you're in the spotlight, sometimes you're not. Sometimes you know the steps and sometimes you feel way out of place. Sometimes you are a graceful ballerina, sometimes people are careless and they knock you down.
In the end, we're all just looking for that grand finish.

It must feel a little sad, and indeed frustrating, not to feel you own your name.

I can empathise. I was married 25 years ago now and the marriage lasted 8 years. We have 2 beautiful children together so I chose to retain my married surname as I didn't want my children growing up and being confused as to why my name was different to theirs. Divorce is enough to contend with.
Anyway, 25 years and 2 grown up children later, I still have my married name. It doesn't reflect who I am, other than a mother. It doesn't reflect my creativity etc. that's for sure.

Consequently, I would publish under a pseudonym because I would want the work to be my mine.
I will take a name from my family past, I think.

A very interesting blog entry! I have never travelled in an airplane so never encountered anything like that. As for the most embarrassing thing happening to you, it made me

"Yak" is the best pet name I've ever heard! That's super funny!

It seems like lots of us had valuable lessons from a very strict teacher. I still miss mine... Mrs. Benson.

Wow... that is a crazy plane-convo.

I wonder how often a scam like that would work. I mean, adults have the money, and most adults aren't naive enough to fall for that nonsense. Opportunistic fool.

Each moment is precious, isn't it! We all forget to just be in it.

First entry

I guess the first blog entry is a good place to explain myself, just a little...

I posted my first poem on WDC recently: "Fears of a dancing monkey"

A poem about fear of being un-important, partly explains my pen name too.

It is a sad poem about someone looking for approval. While this was very true of me when I was growing up, it is less true now. Now I am more wise, I understand the roles I am expected to play in this life. But that all doesn't let me feel like less of a dancing monkey.

So, I've learned the steps and I know the song by heart. I dance with all the gusto and perfection I can muster and hope that they all believe the act. Perhaps that is a bit harsh, it's not all an act... I have love and true friendship, those are treasures.

Nonetheless, I swop my masks and try to fulfill all my roles while the little girl inside just wants to play and be loved. This blog, this is my playground, thank you for playing with me for a little while.
