A woman stands in profile playing with a hair tie in her hands, her gaze cast downward. She is in a dark room under stage, lighting, and other performers can be seen behind her. Her arms and chest ripple with muscles, her biceps and large shoulders being particularly noticeable.

   I was scrolling through some old photos and I found this shot from 2015.

   In 2014 I took two years off of tech to work full time in the performing arts—coaching aerial classes and working as a vertical rope performer, stage manager and tour manager.

   This shot was taken just after a show. I was in the best shape of my life, and I don’t think I ever realized how strong I was. Even at the time, I thought I needed to train harder and do more. Now, I see this and I’m pretty proud of that beefcake.
