Yesterday was my two-year anniversary of studying aerial. Two years ago I’d never done erotic dance. Or any dance. I’d recently moved to Minnesota and was looking for a new hobby. I took a chance on something called Lyra.

@ellyzoe.bsky.social Hi! Hi!! What is next month? I have not found it yet (have been busy to be sure).
