Disappointed

I'm sick of people. I have 4 good girl friends. 3 out of the 4 play soccer. I dance. I have a big show tonight. A great chance to get ahead. DAnce is probably one of the only things i really enjoy anymore.

None of them have ever seen me dance. Ever. Every year i go to one of their soccer games. And they can't come to one of my shows which mean the world to me.

I don't know why its bothering me so much this time but i can't help it. But it is and it hurts. THis was suppose to be a good thing and day for me and and its just become a disappointment. I don't even wanna do it anymore. I don't really care anymore.

I just don't understand why they can't just support me at all. It's not fair.

They are not being very supportive. Friends should share, and support and be there in times of need.... Did you tell them about this? I think you ought to clear the air. It is not fair that you are there for them, always, and they can't return the 'favour'. I am sorry. I know how much that hurts. Take care.

PS: And yes, you are justified in feeling disappointed and slightly miffed.

Yes, your friends should be supportive of your passions, even if they don't want to go, they should. Did they give you reasons why they can't go?

On the other hand, you should be dancing to make yourself happy and escape from the world. Don't drag the world into your passions. You are not dancing for your friends' sake, but only for yourself. I understand that you are still dissappointed despite this, because all of us would like to be acknowledged in the things we do good. Maybe you could share your feelings with them?

In the end, keep dancing and don't let anyone ruin it for you.

i understand where you are coming from sammi, not having support does make our passions in life seem a hassle, but they shouldnt.

i have a passion for singing, but nobody around me supports me, and do you know what i do??? i sit in my room and sing to myself, and i dont care that no one hears me becuase whats important is the fact i have this gift, the same as you have the gift to dance. your so called "FRIENDS" shouldnt damage that passion you have. support is a good thing, but its not a life or death thing, as long as you really enjoy doing something (as you say you do) then whether your friends are there or not shouldnt matter to you, because you dance for yourself, not them.

i would go to the dance if i could sammi, i would like to witness the talent you have. unfortunately i cant though.

what about family? are they going?

good luck with your dance, i hope you do well, and let me know how it goes. im interested in how it goes.

maybe you should consider stopping going to their football games for a little while, im sure they would realise whne your not there, then they might notice the errors of their ways by not attending your dance shows. its worth a try yes?

there will always be people in life who are jealous of your talents, and therefore they will try to ruin your hopes and aspirations by being so negative and un-supporting. but dont let it affect you.

you say 3 out of 4 of your friends play soccer, what about the other one?

let me know if you fancy a chat, im here for you ok.

take care, and good luck for your show tonight (or whenever it is, according to when you read this...)

thanks all of you u guys! You all really helped not to mention that it put me in a better mood. I felt stronger and enpowered lol I didn't need them to be there tonight.

well it went off perfectly i'm happy to say i got to perform my solo second. And u were all right i didn't need any of them.

When i got up on stage tonight and the music came on i was dancing for myself, and thats all that mattered.

Thank you all for your support it really means the world.

love always sammi

Brilliant, well done sammi. i am so proud of you.

Keep up the good work.
