These performing arts aren’t things I grew up doing—they’re things I’ve been learning as a way to step out of my shell. Music, magic, balloons, clowning, and even training my dogs have become gentle ways to practice being seen, sharing space, and creating moments of joy. This section is part experiment, part archive, and part courage log, collecting the tools and small victories that help me show up a little more each time.
