"Fist Full of Glitter"

HI My name is K.L. I’m a dancer. I'm a singer. I'm an actress. I'm a professional princess and I'm a former pageant girl. Oh yeah, and im a female pro-wrestler - well aspiring anyway. I'm probably nothing great but I dream to be someday. Read this blog, leave me questions. Get a view into "the biz", my mind, and all the places you never knew you wanted to go.

Have you ever thrown a first full of glitter in the air?

Have you ever had the uncontestable feeling, manifesting deep in your gut, slowing climbing its way higher to through your soul, almost annoyingly gnawing at the back of your mind – knocking even – POUNDING at the door to be let out…

You can do this.

You can do this.

You can do this.

YOU can do this.

You can do THIS.

YOU can do THIS.

YOU CAN DO THIS.

I remember being ring side 5th row at Raw on September 3 2012. It was the most exciting experiences I had ever had – number three in my life! It happened during the divas match. It was between Kaitlyn & Eve and the crowd wasn’t very into it. There were two twin girls sitting one row in front of us who – little girls always being drawn to talk to me – told me that they were there celebrating their 7th birthday and the one that was older by three minute turned to me and said, “Girl power. I’m cheering for who your cheering for.” “Well I’m cheering for Kaitlyn since we have the same name,” and from then the three of us cheered together for her. I remember glancing at one of the girls – who heartedly committed to our choice – who glanced at me grinning with approval. As I looked toward the ring I remember having the distinct feeling that I wanted that – it was like the glint of spiritual glitter. I wanted little girls looking up to me, almost hoping for approval, to be able to bottle up their sparkle and toss it in the air to show them their possibilities. THAT’S what I wanted out of life.

Then in my day dream, as I stared at the divas match the above words began to echo quietly in my head.

Then louder.

And louder.

Then as loud as the crowd and as bright at the little girls smiles…

I made a distinct decision then to bury that feeling down –WAY DOWN – I’m a dancer, singer, actress, former pageant girl professional princess – NOT a wrestler. Silly. Silly and pretentious. Silly and pretentious and unattainable.

I’ll leave you there for now and ask you to follow me on this journey. This journey of a dancer, singer, actress, former pageant girl, professional princess and how I am trying my hardest to BE a wrestler. This is my fist full of glitter in the air.
