it’s my last time to ever perform on the big juilliard stage tonight.
i’ve never battled with stage fright, panic attacks over my dancing, or been a shy/ nervous performer. in fact, i feel most at ease and best when i’m on a stage.
but i have been pacing the apartment since 7am, experienced uncontrollable butterflies }i{ since yesterday, still freaking myself out about malfunctions with my costume/ lighting cues/ what-if-my music-skips-horror-thoughts and believe it or not, the crying/ giggle attacks have begun.
but i cannot wait. i cannot wait to just get out there, feel the hot stage lights on my face and sob my eyes out as i bow (you better count on it).
this is what i live for.
here goes the last time.

I am so excited for you! You will be beautiful and I wish I could see it. Good luck, pretty lady.
P.S. What is your address? I have something for you… I have been meaning to send it.
You go get em! You hot stuff!
Good luck! I am sure you will knock em dead! Have fun with your family
Naomi,
You were amazing and fabulous. In some ways I can almost feel the struggle of this ending too, and I didn’t even go to school with you or know those people, but I have been there. You are amazing.
Wow Naomi, it’s was incredible. I remember how hard it was when we did our last performance at NYU…these people are your family. But you guys really went out with a bang. Congrats and I LOVED your dance.
