Shaun Evaristo: JUST THE BEGINNING →
His story is the reason I am so inspired by him, his continuing success, and of course, his revolution. He started with nothing but a strong burning passion in his heart and worked hard for everything he’s built up. And that’s what I admire the most. And I’m so grateful for the fact that I have been able to grow as a dancer because of him. Movement Lifestyle is fuel for my...
…and, it turned out to be a successful night. I’m so thankful for such a huge support group. From those that took the class, to those that came to support at the end, and those who supported me even when they couldn’t be there. Your compliments and words mean everything to me. I’m just so happy. It really is inspiring to see your own choreography come to life through...
A dance goal is currently in progress. I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to teach a workshop tonight. But, there’s so many blessings to be accounted for. Like the fact that this is the first time I’ll ever be teaching original choreography. Or the fact that I’m teaching at my own dance team’s workshop. Or even better; the fact that I’ve been asked to sub for a teammate that I really look up...
I’m currently at a phase in my life where I’m heavily inspired to do well. So pardon the late night insights. I’m trying to put a sort of conscious expectation in my words so that my actions are nothing short of my professed statements.

How could you be seated so comfortably on a pedestal made out of false credit? They admire your copy’d/pasted words, darling. Not so much your actual wit.
Homecoming.
It’s been a little over a month since I’ve seen my family. But I have to say, these sparing trips back home make the visit much more worth it.
Arriving back home felt like a grand return. I stepped into a familiar setting where the dogs were impatiently waiting and barking to step out of their cage to greet me, chocolates and roses on the coffee table from my parent’s...
The goal is to aim high. I’m trying to be a few steps ahead of the now. But it seems that when I feel like I have everything in order, I keep missing some fine print. And suddenly these aspirations seem further away from my grasp. But I’m not trying to let that get to my head. It has always been a weakness of mine; to change directions when the road ahead seems too difficult to...
4am. I haven’t even bothered to look at the time until now. Been up just researching potential careers and the steps towards getting there. But, I’m so fired up to jump into the future that I’m forgetting about the road blocks in the present. At least I have a baseline as to where to start. I just need to take care of the things that prevent me from moving on. And actually do...

Some things are difficult and there will be moments where we feel as though we are too weak to go on, but you’ll realize just how strong you are when being strong is all you have left. Trust your struggle and have faith in what life sets out for you.

How did it manage to get in…I’m chasing after it in a deep labyrinth of emotions that is my heart. A presence so real and yet, still so empty at the same time. The very thing that lifts me up is the same thing that leaves me feeling helpless. A toss between concrete desires and wishful conjectures. These discordant feelings are the reason for my heartbeat. Wandering aimlessly....

I’m sitting somewhere along the lines of professing past goals attained and current goals anew. As of late I’ve been a rolling stone, too busy to produce the sounds of my presence. Silenced by the nature of efficiency, I’m out sleeping when I can instead of sleeping where I should; time is my best friend and worst enemy. Each second has the potential to dictate the next minute,...

Sometimes I just want to kickback and relax. As much as I say I’m down, being repetitive just isn’t my thing. I don’t know. I just don’t feel..ah, whatever. I wish I knew what I was thinking myself. But whatever. Quality over quantity. I miss spontaneous adventures. I miss those “doing absolutely nothing but meaning absolutely everything” kinds of stuff with...
I feel like a dancer without substance. It hit me as I did 909 mid-year evals. Everyone had something to show for the freestyle section, more so their own foundation. Isolations, popping and locking, jazz contempt, femme, etc. But I really had nothing. I realized that freestyle is just as important as nailing choreography. Because this section of auditions are what really separates the dancer from...

Sometimes I wish my dreams didn’t feel so real. Those are the ones that I remember the most. But its not just remembering the dream, it’s that feeling of knowing that it never really happened.
that thing you do.
eeyg:
it’s always the first time you meet someone and you know right off the bat whether you’re going to love or hate that person for the rest of your life. It’s the first time you lay eyes on each other and then look away bashfully and you’ve already sworn to yourself a thousand times that you’re definitely in love when you haven’t even a clue what their last name starts with. You might have...
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. It’s really all I can say, and I know that these two simple words aren’t enough to describe how thankful and grateful I really am or even how I’m feeling. If I could just relive the moment I would. I’m just so thankful for the overwhelming response. I’ve never heard such wonderful compliments from people I look up to, and those...
Screening tonight. My heart’s in this one for sure. Nervous.

Cheers to The Ending, But a Toast to Another...
A couple days back, I began to write a reflection of this year. Unfortunately, it disappeared as I was almost finished with it. So I thought, “It’s not worth my time anymore.” But, I think this year deserves a proper goodbye. This was…one of my favorite years.
The Conclusion.
“When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry...
