"Alexa"rella

A new me.

Yes. You heard correctly. The new and improved existence of a slightly lost, slightly more single, 22 year old dance teacher or something like that. Although "I am not a dance teacher" is my title to this comedy horror story, I believe I truly am stuck with this lifestyle. But recently I've been all about taking chances. Doing things I would never even consider in my first, second, fortunately never ending dance teacher life. Just like Little Mix says "these wings are made to fly."

5 steps of how to change your life from flab to fab. 

Yes flab like my stomach from canceling my gym membership.

1. We all need somebody to lean on.

No matter how independent and freaking awesome you are, it's not quite as awesome without people who genuinely care about you. Find them and make them your priority. Your family and friends are your Taylor to your Swift. Without them in my opinion you are just a Kim without your Kayne. They love you more than your recent obsession with your hover board. So share the love. I can say from experience this is something I am working on. Trusting someone is one of my biggest fears and set backs. But I can also tell you that when you finally decide to let them in, great things will happen. Actually the absolute best. Finding your backbone.

SHOUTOUT to all my best friends. I really am so lucky. Especially to my stepbrother, Alex Casola. "You'll always be my best friend because you know too much."

2. You got me workin' workin' day and night.

You know the quote "Do what you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life." That is great and all, I mean 100 percent true as well. But in the meantime of stressing about bills and balancing spending money, take a second to evaluate what you're doing. I am one of the most committed people you will ever meet. If I want something, I will get it. But at the same time I've drained myself from obsessing over the un-controlables. Unfortunately life is too short for that. Find the balance of hard work and actual fun and you'll never have to work a day in your life.

3. Long hair don't care.

If you love your look, you love yourself. Take time to work on your appearance. I can't tell you a single person I have met in my life that hasn't felt a little more confident when they lose a few pounds or take a chance on a new cut and color. Start simple like wearing and rocking something you wouldn't normally wear. You never know until you try. If you love it, do it.

4. D8 the great.

This is the hardest topic for me. DATING... dun, dun, dun. Apart of your transformation to fab is having fab arm candy. Maybe it's a new Chanel? Haha that's my answer to everything. But for reals if you never try to date, you never will. This has been me for hmmm my entire life! Miss independent is my middle name. Even if your new coffee date turns out to be decaf in the worst scenario you still most likely got some great free coffee. Luckily for me this didn't happen. Or if you are still in the fries before guys stage, substitute the fries for a new handbag. Maybe both. 

5. A little more you.

I little less worry and a lotta more you! You need to be your number one fan. This can be especially difficult because you are your biggest critic. I rate everything in my life on a scale of 1 to 10. Importance of this is a 10 and you need to be an 11. 

Following these guidelines should help clear your mind and hopefully your path. I mean I can't promise anything because I'm just a small town girl living in her lonely world. But I do know trying new things will make a difference. Be the best you. You deserve it. 

When Walmart Calls.

Literally.

This is a TBT because blogging is hard work people. 

Today I was awoken before my alarm to 2 full blast calls from an unknown number. Which I never answer understandably. Finally they left a voicemail and it was Walmart, offering me an interview from my application. I’m glad the world is looking out for me. I mean Walmart has always been on my top places to apply. I was considering Target but now that I know Walmart wants me I’ll have to go with my gut. But hey thank you for whoever sent in that application. Helping out my financial situation and really just making my day.  

I have been recently blessed with some great times to laugh at myself. Like when you think someone is talking to you in the dressing room and you politely reply but really it was to the other Alexa next door. Or when you run out of gas on the side of the road. If you're wondering what happens your car just stops. Or when you start a new green tea cleanse but you really need Ben & Jerry's to finish your blog post. So you'll have to restart tomorrow. These moments were all definitely a 10.

Life is too short and so is my patience. 

Once I was told my expectations were unreachable. Words can hurt especially when they're said by someone you really care about. I let it bother me and believed them. I thought of the phrase for multiple weeks, everyday actually, and it crushed me. I felt out of control of my own life. I was ready to quit everything and had no desire to work hard anymore. I'm actually getting teary eyed while writing this. Haha more laughing at myself! I believe through hard times everything happens for a reason. But to discover the reason is your destiny. So that's exactly what I did. When you experience change in your life you either A. Shut down or B. Move on. I'm not someone to dwell on the past so option B was my obvious choice. 

9/3/15 

was the most important day of my entire life. Like if I ever have a wedding (the odds are against this) it will be on September 3rd. Bachelors take note. The day I completely changed me. Actually I became a better me. I was changed from change. I can't believe I let someone else's opinion almost destroy me and give up on myself. Thank you for showing me what I deserve and I am so grateful for this period in my life. The biggest blessing. Never let someone tell you that you can't do something. That shows their limitations, not yours.  

"It's all messy: The hair. The bed. The words. The heart. THE EMAILS. Life..."

Once upon a time there was a 22 year old dance teacher. Sometimes she taught dance but mostly she dreamt of what dance had taught her. Occasionally she would roam the mall and spend her rent money on overly priced heels. Even though kind of like her life, she would be bored with them by the next day. People would watch her every move and wonder what exactly she was thinking, but no one really knew. Loved by most, hated by many, and truly known by few. This was her life and she liked it exactly the way it was. Unknown. 

And that's my story. Just kidding it didn't end that smoothly. But truly it is just beginning. This blog specifically has taken me five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes to finish. Actually about 5 airplanes and countless restless blogging nights. I’ve been inspired and erased everything. My jumbled thoughts and none fully portraying of what I felt and visioned in my head. The words on the tip of my tongue but word vomit when I tried to share with you all. I just wanted this blog to be perfect...

But I think my life is anything but perfect and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Alexa Moffett, airports, and airplanes.

Blog, blog, blog.

Like blah, blah, blah. Cha cha cha. Mostly because that's how I feel when I'm writing all of my thoughts into this dumb blog. Then I want to cha cha walk with my new ballroom friends. But duty calls so I'm going to stick with the blah. 

#alexascurrentthoughts

-American's need to get it together at the airport. Guys you know the drill. Just remove your shoes, laptops out, and really get the water bottles out of our purse. But can we take a second to not appreciate the TSA security screaming in my ear at 8:00am. I'm aware liquids out. 

-Why doesn't Chipotle cater to US Airways flights to NC?

-I've currently listened to the same song 61 times in a row and I'm not changing it.

-Boys suck.

-I miss my students.

-But I might miss my bed equally as much.

-When people try and have conversation about my job and ask "What type of dancing do you teach?" and instead of needing advil from explaining you just reply "Everything." But the next question is always "Oh, so you teach hip hop and ballet?" #goodbye

I've broken my heart so many times I've stopped keeping track.

What exactly is a broken heart? I don't think such thing can be explained. My favorite part of a broken heart is what lesson was taught from the feeling of being broken. For me as an artist, having your heart broken whether it be from someone or a situation is crucial to creativity. I like things that are real. I don't like to talk about my feelings. So instead I create. I look for music that can explain my story. That is something that can never be taken away from me. If I could give advice to anyone who wants to live in a similar comedy horror story to mine, it would be to find something that makes you happy and never let it go. Find your purpose and don't stop ever. Your expectation's for yourself should be the biggest thing in your life. I've always had one dream. To be the best. To be my absolute best. If you want to be the best you should never settle. "Winners never quit and quitter's never win."

"You attract the energy you exude."

"You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love."

"What do you want to do with your life?"

 My least favorite question yet I would say the most common one I'm asked. My answer is always "Everyone asks me this." Haha so I think that definitely sums up my answer. I want to do something that matters. My best friend explains it as not wanting empty work. Something that fills me up. How am I supposed to make a decision for the rest of my life at 22 and 2 days old. I prefer to live in the moment and see where life travels me to. Hopefully it's not around New Zealand searching for Addison's lost passport.

I think you can do anything you set your mind to. When I was that little 10 year old girl in her one and only purple velvet leotard learning ballet off the video my mom bought me from the local library, I never thought I would be where I am today. If someone tells you you can't, they don't deserve your attention. Prove them wrong. Persevere.

It's all good in the hood.

I want to take a second to say how grateful I am to have you all in my life. Maybe you're a sister to me or maybe we've never met. But that doesn't matter to me. I appreciate you for being you. In my classes I continue to preach how the best part is that no one else is you. You are absolutely the best you because you're the only you. Make the most of your life because you should be your number 1 priority. Trust yourself and always go with your gut.

I have the best friends and family a girl could ever ask for. That's what makes me, me.

"I'm starting to attract the exact type of people I want around me: creative minds with amazing commitment to their dreams."

When your 21 year old blog becomes your 22 year old blog.

How to make the dance teacher change to 22.

You don't. You just stay 21. You pack up all of your semi important belongings. Chanel, Addy, Molly, and tweezers. Buy the first one way ticket to Australia and never come back. My visa expires in about 343 days... So...

So basically my plan's a work in progress, but I think it's a winner. I'm of course 91 percent joking. But I'm 100 percent positive I could listen to Michael Bublé for the rest of my 21 year old immortal life and be perfectly content. Honestly I'm looking forward to my 22 year old times though. What could possibly go more wrong than my other 21 years? I'll most likely still be overly forgetful, still sleep deprived, still single. I know myself too well. But hey, I'm always up for a change. So if you want to share some memorization skills, have illegal insomnia drugs, and/or like me for some reason. Text me and I will reply, quickly even. (That's not a guarantee.)

Back to reality. I plot twist was actually in Australia. In a nice little hotel called "Break Free," so naturally we all sang the song as we arrived like Vanessa and Zac would have wanted. Besides the 6 days of sickness, Chanel being filled with prescriptions instead of real people things, oh and my blessed sister forgetting her passport on the opposite island in New Zealand, this was the best trip I've been on in awhile. I am so humbled by all of the incredible people I have met while I've been on this journey. Each one bringing something new and different to my story. It is one of the most rewarding feelings to know that ever since I decided to commit my entire heart and life to being a dance teacher, I have inspired others to commit the same. To never give up. To find it in themselves and create the same drive and passion that I preach in my classes daily. Even from the other side of the world. In the same way they look up to me, I look up to all of them. I appreciate you all more than you will ever know. I remember once being the little girl who couldn't find her voice. I didn't believe in myself. I had dreams of course, doesn't everyone? But I never actually thought I had it in myself to fight to achieve them and find the voice and story in the little girl. 

Alexa Moffetts gets semi older.  

When I was in middle school, around the age of 12, I was a social butterfly. I was always considered as I guess a "popular" girl. I spent my free time updating my latest AIM profile with tHe CuTeSt FoNtS, popping my collars of new polos from Abercrombie, and going to the local Friday night football games hoping to kiss my latest crush. Life was what any 12 year old girl would imagine to be perfect. But just like any high it must come down. I have always been the girl to take the blame, I'm guessing since I was never afraid to stand up for my opinion. Darn Leo's right? I went from the life of the party to begging my dad to pick me up for lunch. I was being bullied. I'm not saying this for sympathy but because it changed my life. Of course there were the typical girl things like the 3 way calls saying hurtful things to you then hanging up. The writing names and notes on the lockers. But it went far beyond that. This is absolutely when dance saved me. It became my sanctuary. Where I wanted to breathe and live every second of my life. I began to study it. I'm laughing as I'm writing this but I was a super fan/stalker of dance. I'm sure I've watched every single one of your YouTube videos from 2006 on. I re-centered my priorities of having the cutest locker at school to how long I could stay up past my bedtime creating the latest choreography in my formal dining room that I would later bribe Addison to learn. Which she never did just for the record. I found out that same year that I was going to be moving to Arizona. As I was relieved to have an excuse to escape my problems, at the same exact time I was heartbroken to leave my studio and all of my "new life." 

Moving states is a big change for a native 12 year old especially at some of your most insecure years. I know that many of you that have had the big move can relate. A new school, new friends, new dance studio, new home, that all seems like the end of the world for stubborn Alexa. It definitely was in my head. 

It goes on.

This is where I hit my lowest low. The happy part is coming guys I promise! I became shy and unsure of anything and everything. I didn't trust anyone. I sat at lunch my first day of 8th grade all by myself in the bathroom stall. Like you hear in the movies, yes. I met friends eventually but none that I felt I clicked with like my old life. Dance was a completely different lifestyle than what I was used to in Minnesota. I would stare at the blank walls in my room thinking about how maybe my old life wasn't so bad. Finally life started to come together. But I still had my new found sense of no confidence. I was enjoying learning new types of ways to move my body in dance. Guys I'm telling you even a hip roll was foreign to me. After the struggle of catching onto the vibe and the intimidation I started to feel comfortable in my new home. I was still as observant and obsessed with dance as ever though don't forget that. Since I was always at dance early for Addison I started to watch and study her classes. Fast forward a few years... This eventually presented me with the opportunity to assist. Which led to a young overly shy 6 year old, who I could relate to, finding the courage in me to choreograph her first solo. This was the day my life was changed. This was the day I found my voice. It wasn't your typical high school teen's dream but it was my escape. I learned that putting confidence into children gave me back my spark. *To be continued... 

I'm now grateful for the experience I had as a bratty self centered 12 year old. I learned first hand how bullying hurts. But it made me stronger and taught me that another person can't decide how you feel, only you can. 

"You're as happy as you want to be."

Be careful what you wish for. 

A wise 21 year old dance teacher once said. 

You may or may not know what you're getting yourself into. For the most part I enjoy not knowing. It makes life more real to me. Since I practically threw away my entire sense of sanity for following my dreams, realism has always been a major focus in my life. I'm glad I don't have everything I could ever want. Can you imagine how uneventful life would be? It takes a lot to get a reaction from me. People say my poker face is 100 percent. I am very reserved in my thoughts and feelings. Which can be the best and worst part of myself. In this life you have to learn to think fast, smart, and be willing. Which has taught me some things just aren't worth it. But has also taught me how much some things are worth it. That's the best part about dreams.

#currentthoughts 

Giving up. I've never been someone to use that term. But I'm not going to lie through personal hard times recently I have considered this. I believe everything happens for a reason and when I came across this quote it knocked some sense back into me. 

"I thought about quitting, but then I noticed who was watching." 

So simple yet so meaningful to me in this time of disbelief. I don't blog for followers or people to give me compliments of my writing. I even get embarrassed to show people my vulnerable side. I write because I am real and want people to see who am I. That everyone makes mistakes and sometimes you doubt yourself. I feel like sometimes we hide behind the media to show people what we want them to think of us. I absolutely have. I do have the biggest heart and often am misread because I am known to put on a great act. Not purposely of course. But under all of the posts, rumors, memories, pictures, we are all just normal people. With that being said I think I'm ready for 22. I know that my journey is still being written and 

"It'll all work out." 

So 1 time I actually replied to an email...

And this happened. Lol! Kidding. My very best most important friend is writing something for school on me (because she's the coolest, prettiest, bestest friend I've ever had) and I wanted to share. Read it, judge it, whatever you want to do with it. Just don't look for grammar errors because didn't proof read! (No non dance teacher got time for that.) XO

Being a non dance teacher. 

What was your early life like? How was it growing up? What activities were you involved in as a child? 

Growing up I was anything but responsible. I think that's why I turned out the way I am now! I was a energy machine, always getting into some sort of trouble. I was definitely a Tom boy. Whether it was running around the neighborhood with my boy crew, or staying up all night playing video games, or begging my dad for a new pack of Pokemon cards. All of my activities were some sort of just being a kid. I wasn't seriously committed into anything until I was 10 years old. That's when I started to dance competitively. From then on that's the story on my social life up until today. 

Did something in your life happen that made you choose your current career?

I think I was bored honestly. That's how I got into dancing. I was always wanting something to be engaged in, something to be obsessed with. Then when I started dancing it brought a whole new world into my life. That little did I know turned into my entire life. A big part of starting teaching for me was a lack of confidence I had. (Which is something I didn't have growing up so I didn't know how to experience such feelings.) I think I was so unsure of myself from moving at the hard age of 12 that I wanted to be good at something. I wanted something to matter. I didn't ever want someone to feel the way I felt going somewhere new and not feeling like they belonged. So I put my emotions into dancing. It really brought me through hard times and I think that's why it clicked so well for me.  

Why did you choose this career? 

I prefer to say this career chose me lol. I'm kidding. Mostly children is why I started on this adventure. I never wanted to be a great choreographer, or win all the awards at a opinionated dance competition. I just wanted to make people happy and make them the best version of theirselves. Granite I definitely have always said my goals were to be "the best teacher in the world" but I think that's so much more than awards. I think that's genuinely being the most caring, hard working, positive, role model I can be for my students. Winning is great and all but after you've done it for so long it becomes nothing but another day. Changing someone's life and giving them the confidence to think they can do something is the best career I think you could imagine getting paid for. 

Please explain you career. What are some of your major achievements thus far in your career?

Basically I deal with crazy moms and whining kids all day. So a mom babysitter and a daycare. I'm kidding haha. I teach dance! I teach lessons, I teach emotion, I teach to live for something. My greatest achievements are my students! I will brag to anyone that asks (or doesn't) about how they are the best kids I've met in my life. It's definitely been a rollar coaster to get here but it was the biggest best risk I've ever taken in my life. Also getting to watch them dance on Radio City was my favorite & one of my coolest accomplishments too.

What are you most passionate about? And why?

I'm passionate about stories. I like to feel something through music. I think that's another reason I started dancing. I think music gives you life and to be able to create something from a simple piece of music is an art I didn't know existed before my career. I think that it's not necessarily about the choreography but about the perfect match. Why does this piece of music scream leg turn on "misery", it doesn't that's what lol. I like to take lyrics and turn them into something of my own, something that means something to me. I'm pretty down to earth when it comes to criticism. I am a bigger critic of myself than anyone who could possibly voice their opinion to me. Which kind of makes choreography easier actually. If it clicks with me, than it's a go. I actually a few weeks ago committed to myself I would never create something that I didn't understand. That didn't make me feel something or go on an adventure to what the music is trying to portray. 

What inspires you the most?

My inspiration is my sister. I don't think I would have pushed myself to my breaking point & through it without her. She really inspired me to become better. A better teacher, choreographer, friend, mentor, everything. She has more talent in her pinky finger than I have in my entire body. The way she can captivate an audience is almost non human. She has a gift, which has given me a gift, and I don't think I can ever repay her for that. 

What makes you the happiest in life? What makes you the saddest?

The happiest in life...hmm... This is a tough question for me!!! Success used to make me the happiest. A quote I live by, my most favorite & life committed quote is "Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it." I mean I'm definitely a quote guru. If you would go through my camera roll I would say 80 percent my students, 9 percent quotes, and the last 1 percent trying to be a normal human being. Like that would ever happen. But I think what makes me the happiest is making others happy. I would give up all the money in the world to make someone smile. Let me tell you when I say I buy gifts I buy GIFTS! I like to give things away, I would rather go Christmas shopping and get nothing for myself. Shopping also makes me happy, but hey how couldn't a girl love a good pair of Louboutin heels? Also my kids make me happy but I think I've over gusted about them already haha. The saddest... Disappointment. Mostly in myself. If I think I did something wrong or made a bad decision it will completely drive me crazy. To the point where I make more bad decisions to cover it up. It's actually the worst part of myself I think! I don't like to thing what if? Or maybe? Or if you just would've? But I do that to myself! I try to live by "You're as happy as you want to be." Which gets me through hard times. Wow this paragraph is so dramatic! Haha! I really am a super positive person but I like things the absolute hardest ways that's what makes me, me. 

If you could do life all over again… What would you do different?

Man I wish this was real! I actually don't think I would change many things! I think I've gotten myself on a good path to my future. I think that like the night, life is young. There's so much more to learn and experience. So many more people to meet and mountains to climb. 

Hardest question… What is your biggest turning point in life?

My biggest turning point in life... I'm not sure I completely understand the question so I'll answer in 2 ways. My first turning point was believing in myself. This is when I actually thought I could do something amazing! Imagine that haha. When I found my calling I guess. When I witnessed what it's like to love something and have it mean the world to you. I might not have had the typical love story but I think along the road of life this path I've chosen is definitely more meaningful than any roses I could receive or kiss I could've experienced. In another case I don't think I've necessarily had another turning point in my life. I've definitely had dark days that I thought my choices weren't what I really wanted but nothing extraordinary stands out to me as a turning point. I'm definitely waiting for it to happen though. I feel I'm destined for something big, something unimaginable, but although my friends often joke that I predict the future (apparently I have an intelligent & imaginative mind that can make unique scenarios come true, I prefer to call it realist. Lol) I have absolutely no idea what my next adventure for myself holds. Any day now though life! I'm ready for it hehe. 

So there it is people. Alexa Moffett. Part time non dance teacher, part time realist, part time personal shopper, part time lover of passion.

I hope you learn something from this nonsense. Hard work is the route to success. Never have something handed to you.

"If you were just given Chanel you definitely deserve Walmart." -Alexa Moffett

Too tired to handle.

Save the drama for 2:05am blogs.

Without too much 2:00am drama I am on the verge of nervous breakdown. Writing this via bed with iPhone while obnoxiously coughing due to lack of sleep, poor eating habits, and taking care of my body. Wished on 11:11 for a day off. But mostly stressed because being a Leo, leadership is important to me. Therefore causing extreme perfectionism when it comes to my commitments. I've been putting a lot of pressure on myself lately to push myself to improve and be challenged and trying to stay positive about my goals. Pray to the dance gods I will find enough hours/coffee in the day to get through these wild work and hair days. 

When you have the brain of an 85 year old woman. 

I have this insane problem of poor memorization. Like guys I have googled my symptoms and almost think it's diagnosable. This is an extreme problem with my lifestyle! First of all it makes choreography without a youngin almost impossible. Then 5 to 10 new texts per hour, 180 unread Facebook messages, and we all know the struggle of 23,105 unread emails. Don't get me started on that. I can't keep anything straight. Therefore this is causing me extreme aging and help is needed fast before my hair is gray. I think I need to hire an assistant. All applicants will have full access to my hoarding of clothes and unlimited Starbucks if chosen to assist. ;) 

I'm signing off due to my ability to type complete sentences. Will write a blog of current events and how to not break your Instagram within a few days. Love you all and hope your days are riding smoother than mine! 

I think my candle is giving me inspiration.

Honestly though, aromatherapy is the way to go.

Writing this post a little tired but mostly inspired. Haha rhyming blog post count 2. It's a stress relief candle although I don't believe in stressed. "You're as happy as you want to be." Today I danced a lot, slept a little, and ate too much. But actually the dancing was the highlight. I had solo choreography with two students. Both very different. One a new younger student and one old soul that has grown with me through my ups and downs. But at the same time they both gave me the same feeling. Determination. Having hungry and positive dancers blows my mind. They made me love my job even more. I honestly do my work for my students. I definitely wouldn't stay in this business for anything else besides the children. Even when I'm dragging myself to the studio with a 5 shot Americano and my pajama pants still on from the night before... I start teaching and everything's better because of them. Don't get me wrong, I AM TOUGH! But greatness comes from work ethic and that is what I teach my students. At the end of the day no matter what pique we couldn't exactly perfect, or which supporting leg still wasn't to our best potential, it's always a hug.  

Disclaimer part 2: Didn't proof read sorry guys. 5:00am is a new record.

Topic 2: Appreciation and respect for the people who care about you.

This world is wack. I do not understand how people can purposely talk poorly about other's behind their backs. There is so many other amazing things to experience in this world and you are wasting your time doing that because? Worry about yourself and karma will take it's turn. If someone gives you a piece of their heart and time then take it and run with it. I remember when I was 8 years old and was playing in a soccer tournament. (I know right.) Our team was getting scored on multiple times. So a few girls including myself went over to her and started picking on her for missing the ball. As I'm walking away I hear a piercing whistle & "ALEXA MOFFETT" multiple times from the sidelines. It was my dad. (Also known as dance dad, not soccer dad.) He grabbed my arm and told me  to apologize now and to go tell my coach we were leaving the championship game due to my poor behavior and disrespect for my teammate. (This is def the PG version of how mad my dad was, LOL.) My coach tried to condone my behavior and say "other girls were apart of the confrontation as well." From that moment on I stopped crying and begging to stay, because I had learned something. You can only control yourself and what I did was bullying. This was a team sport and I had let my team down. I ran off the field to the car and continued to cry. My dad met me at this point and told me that he hopes I learned my lesson and was deserving of the consequence. I did, I never wanted anyone to feel the way that goalie had in my life. And specifically me being apart of the reason. That is why I teach my students respect. You are not handed things in life. Your mom can not pay for your solo to be good, you work for it to be. (Deserved italics right there.) If you work for them you are much more grateful of the things you have earned. I still appreciate this moment in my life. I wish more people could experience this and respect was enforced in their daily lives. Stop the negative competing and be proud of who you are. Don't second guess someones intentions and trust them to run with your heart as well. Amazing things will happen.

"Never push a loyal person to the point where they no longer care."

If you give a dance teacher a task they will...

Always deliver. We strive too much for being our best. But hey that's what makes us the best kind of people. Here's a few questions I've received to answer! I'm going to do a few a blog!

#alexascurrentlife WOW

1. What is your relationship like with Addy and your family?

Moffett like it's hot! Haha my family is insane. But I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm appreciative that my mom still does my laundry and can whip up a costume in under 24 hours due to my habit of procrastination. I'm grateful that my dad likes to post embarrassing things about me on his instagram and still knows the way to my heart is a good shopping trip. I'm thankful for my brother, Caden, for being a boy because I honestly don't know how I would survive with a ten year old dancer girl as a sibling. And then there's Addy. WOW. Haha I'm kidding. There's no one else I would rather be stuck with. Sisters by blood, sisters by brain, sisters by heart, I would do anything in the world for this kid. Except solo choreography. She always gets the 3am slot so I prefer that time for blogging. ;) 

2. How did you meet Molly?

Molly and I met at WCDE nationals! Crazy it's been 2 and a half years! I actually approached her to possibly come and set some numbers on my kids. See I'm just like you all too guys! I actually had stocked her via YouTube for a bit and came down to watch all of their numbers live. I even was mad when her choreography didn't take home 1st overall platinum diamond you rock in every category. She brushed my comment off, LOL nothing's changed. Kidding "WOW!" I then ended up messaging her on Facebook and didn't receive a response for awhile. After we set a date we still didn't even know much about each other. We would like Facebook posts of dance and that's about it. When she came to set choreography I brought her a salad and some cookies and bam. Mini teacher besties were born. We both didn't realize how much we were "the same" until those cookies. We started texting back and forth about choreography opinions and then decided to take over the world one body roll and scorpion at a time. But really it was just how you all meet friends! Destiny! I couldn't imagine my life without her. I feel like I'm writing about a relationship and am totally okay with that! Hahahaha! Love you MOLLY LONG you are one of the best things in my entire life! XOXOXO

Well I feel as if this post has been my least sarcastic post yet and I think it's still because of my candle. I hope that we're friends on Facebook too. And snapchat, twitter, the goods. But mostly because I appreciate you ALL and you are the reason I continue what I'm doing! Your support honestly means the world to me. XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Happy Year of "1" and "Quotes"

"We NEVER go out of style."

But we may or may not.

*Disclaimer my 3:00am grammar is def not on squad today. 

It's 2k15 and I may or may not still be a dance teacher. I may or may not still have a shopping addiction and I may or may not still be living this comedy horror story day by day. But I'm pretty sure all of these statements are still true. New year, same lost Alexa Moffett soul. Partly due to not feeling like myself recently. Partly because the completion of my work has been such a blur. Lastly because there has been quite a few big changes in my life and although they are for the better, change is new. Don't get me wrong I am grateful for change, I think that life is unpredictable. If you feel too secure in your surrounding's then something new must come your way. Maybe that's just my preference but it works. 

Before I vent more about my confusion entering the New Year, ex. the struggle to buy the Prada or schedule the private lessons (I'm kidding), you must know about my recent obsession. T-SWIFT HERSELF. People I don't care if you're a music fan or nah you must hop on my fangirling moment here. My 2nd moment since Andi Dorfman of the Bachelorette. (PS if any of you have a connection to her I will give you free solos for life.) But simply Taylor is a great lady. In my next life I hope to be half as great as her. Besides having 1989 on repeat since it leaked on YouTube, I admire her commitment to her lifestyle. I wish that I could sit down at Starbucks and girl talk for hours about the power of passionate, hard working, young women and how they are completely changing the world everyday. Specifically our generation. As you can see I really think highly and look up to her. I hope that in my somewhat lost life I can find it in myself to become one of those women. Maybe not on her level but I will give up anything it takes to achieve this goal.

Do you ever feel like you're taking 2 steps forward and 3 steps back? Well I feel like I'm taking .1 steps forward and 19 steps back. I can't seem to get a grip on my life. So I think that will be my NY's resolution. I'm not quite sure what you would name that but if it gets me back on my feet then it's done. I feel as if I'm caught up in so many different "me's" that I'm not sure which life I want to excel at. Guys it really is hard. It's almost like I have multiple personalities and am playing a large game of #AlexaMoffettLife. Wow. *Word of the year. That was very dramatic. But really all I'm asking of you Alexa is to be 3 people at once and 9 places at once. 

Words of the year:

"WOW"

"DON'T"

Adding "INTENSE" to every sentence

You should use them. Esp "wow" it comes in handy for everything. Wow.

  

#alexascurrentthoughts 

Don't you hate when you're misunderstood? Why must it be necessary to constantly think someone is out to get you? I for one am extremely honest with what I think. Once again the Leo in me. I do what I feel is priority to me. Which is almost 100 percent of the time putting other people before myself. If I think something I'll say it. I constantly live by "if you don’t want the truth than don’t ask."

On a scale of 1 to 10 how bad would a 3:11am taco be right now?

I am very fortunate for the unbelievable opportunities I have in my life. I am humbled by the interest for my work and that truly is an amazing feeling. Sometimes I am overwhelmed but then I remember what if my life wasn’t like this? What if I was a normal 21 year old hanging on at the bar searching for in the moment love? 

TBH haven't opened any of my Christmas gifts. I don't like things given to me, I just like giving. So if you want them please stop by between the hours of 1:00am and 5:00am tomorrow. 

I do this insane thing called "search for quotes that apply to your life and screenshot every one until you fill your camera roll." It's quite the job. But these quotes get me through my days. Some of my favorites for the new year...

"How will you know if it's the right decision if you never make it?"

"You are going to come across people in your life who will inspire you, love you, and change you. And that is a rare thing, but every once in awhile you will come across someone who will completely rob you from your sleep and those are the people who are just too beautiful to put into words." -R.M. Drake

"I may be crazy, but all the best people are."
