Stressed Out

• Likes: Dancing for fun rather than competition, nailing a routine, doodling, cooking, she chases the endorphins of exercise. She enjoys tattoos, warm baths, Her cat, Beauregard and trying new things.
• Dislikes: She has a contentious relationship with her parents, most of the time she could safely say she dislikes them. the ugly side of Competition, injury, her lack of free time, the unending personal responsibility her parents and career choices have piled on her.
