@monica_maria_benno: For two years, I’ve been fighting to get back to the version of me that existed before my knee injury. But maybe healing isn’t always about going back. I’ve made the incredibly difficult decision not to have another surgery right now. And with that comes accepting that dance — and my life — might not look the way I always imagined it would. That acceptance has broken my heart in ways I can’t really explain. But I’m 22. I don’t want to spend my twenties waiting for my life to start again. I still want to move. I still want to perform. I still want to create. I still want to feel alive on a stage. So maybe this isn’t the end of my story as a performer. Maybe it’s just the first time I’ve allowed myself to write a different one. Here’s to finding out what comes next. 🤍 #DanceJourney #InjuryRecovery #Dancer #Performer #NewChapter
