Keep It Movin’

I hate static pole. Haaaate it. I don’t like being still.

Static pole movement uses the pole as prop that one choreographs around—and I get that—but I just don’t flow the same. I prefer spin pole because it is a constant flow; I’m always spinning, continually moving. Every transition is captivating and unexpected because there was never any pause or break in the movement itself. And it feels really good to move while on spin; it feels really powerful. On static pole, I feel like I look like an idiot—and stuck.

My lack of enthusiasm when it comes to static pole is just a microcosm for my disdain for static areas of my life off the pole. There is nothing I dislike more than being stagnant, static, waiting. And, for me, it is really hard to move around static areas/people in my life healthily. It’s either I allow the stagnancy (is that a real word?) to make me completely miserable or I trauma-block it from my existence altogether. I admire the people who take time to sit within static areas and learn the lessons they are supposed to. I don’t have the patience to do the same. I’m too ambitious and I have too many ideas.
