My dear Ispk,  I'm so sorry about the disability/depression, but I think it's so cool you're a ballroom dancer! I know what it's like to give up the thing you love doing the most. (Though it sounds to me like you can still engage in your dancing, but couldn't make it a career, so I'm happy that you can do it still!) I used to be a very serious clarinet player. I would practice for hours per day and was in multiple ensembles, besides band and orchestra. Then, my front teeth became so loose I was in danger of losing them. Vanity won out, and I pretty much quit playing. I miss it so much! I've tried to do what you're supposed to do (find other interests, discover a new passion, blah blah blah) but nothing brings me quite the same joy. I've had a good life though. Except for the fact that Keanu Reeves never married me, but I'm learning to let that one go too! i wish I could see you dance, Ispk!
