as a dancer who struggles with body image and confidence issues, i truly sobbed. this was exactly what it feels like when i teach my little girls at dance but am having a bad day, they brighten it up so quickly. through mental and physical disorders dance has always been my best friend, but also my enemy at the same time. i feel so represented and heard, thank you. this is beautiful!
You are enough I know i dont know you. But.. Your amazing Your enough Your unique Your special Your one in a trillion Your perfect Your you. Your body does not define you. Dont let the bullies grind you down. the only thing that can define you is yourself!!💗💗
Thank you. This track perfectly describes what it’s like to go through recurrent cancer diagnoses and surgery after surgery, chronic pain, and also living with anxiety and neurodiversity.
I recently used your track to make a reel of all the very personal photos I took along my journey so far. The good, the bad, and the ugly. “Can I lay down? Is there a way out?” Oh man, this hits so close to home. I just want to rest without pain or anxiety about things being wrong.
@@Craftyisheverafter I sincerely hope you are doing well, I hope you and your family have a wonderful summer and I hope and pray it gets better for you.
Right? I know this was supposed to be a song about dancing as a child but it hit home so hard for someone like myself who has ptsd and pretty severe anxiety. I hope you have a pain free good feeling day ❤ sending u all the positive and healing energy
I can’t tell you how deep this hit me. I was told “you have the perfect body for ballet… if only you had some common sense.” I had an eating disorder at the time and it made ADHD worse. It was healing for me to go to a different studio later on and experience the world of dance without abuse. It makes my heart happy to see little girls not being yelled at.
The juxtaposition between the lovely footage and the raw lyrics is so perfectly intertwined. Its lamenting and inspiring. You are very quicklu becoming a favorite lyricist and content creator. Amazing job!!
I love the true joy that is resonating from Penny. Really shows the innocence she represents in the videos. Amazing job and I can’t wait for the full music video to drop!!
So many of us need this song , even outside ballet. I was a classical music prodigy. Believe me, I relate 100%. I know there’s a lot more body related pressure in ballet, but being small and playing incredibly hard pieces and people being amazed… how could you not be terrified to grow up? I so hope you are in a better place now. Thank you for this.
I am forever grateful that my dance teacher that I've had for the past ten years (gosh its been that long) has never commented on anyone's body image at my studio (that I can think of or know of) she is the most non-toxic dance teacher I've heard of in terms of body image, and as a studio with all kinds of bodies, I can say that maybe our dancing is better because of that, we're not doubting ourselves.
I saw the video that explains the meaning of the song and I can relate, my friends are always being favorites and being chosen for special dances where some people from each level are chosen and some people like me are just brushed aside and ignored, I always try my best but I can’t ever manage to do good enough to be chosen and I know that my teacher doesn’t judge my but I judge myself more than anyone else can. I don’t know how but you managed to brighten my day, the song is comforting. Thank you and keep up the good work
this song hirs me so hard. i’m a neurodivergent teenager with a bunch of body image issues, and a lot of them stemmed from my old dance classes. this also reminds me of why I have a little space. you make such beautiful, meaningful pieces.
This hit hard, thank you. I needed a good cry today, and to feel like someone understood. Im no dancer but...I think what makes it special is how easily it can be applied to so many different peoples experiences and bring understanding and maybe even comfort.
The way I had goosebumps from that line about crawling into your body and they didn't go away for the rest of the song.. The mix of you with your incredible skill and the little girl with her fun approximation of what she sees ballerinas do and how you both tried to match and then the lyrics.. This song hit me a lot harder than I thought it would when I came here from the short you posted..
I love watching this! But oh my the words are so brutal. Thank you for verbalising how you felt, so many people can relate and now this is out there maybe they can use this to communicate how they’re feeling. Love you ❤
I cannot express how much I cried to this music video. I struggle with my stomach fat and overall body image and this just made me realize how many people feel the same way I do, it made me genuinely think about how many other people struggle with this. I play an artistic sport and the tears just flowed from this masterpiece! This song is beautiful. ❤️
This song made me cry, because I'm starting to fall into an eating disorder and I'm trying to stay out of it. But I keep not eating, then binging and everytime I eat thats all I can think about.
I was never a dancer but I do have depression, anxiety, etc and this song is really relatable to me and is just amazing. I struggle with body and emotion issues that no one really properly understood. Some people did but most people did not. This song was really amazing! Keep up the great work!
this is so beautiful, the imagery is so impactful and so are the lyrics! ty for being so vulnerable and sharing a part of yourself with us, as well as being a voice for those of us with similar experiences
This song with the video honestly gave me a sinking feeling in my chest, and I don't remember the last time music has done something like that to me. This was an awesome song keep singing💙
Im definitely not crying❤😭 I really do feel this song, 5 year old me would never have thought id get to my current age. I just wanna freeze everything sometimes, yknow? I dont wanna grow up. Its weird because that was my only wish as a kid, but the more i see the more i wish i hadnt. O well...
This song truly is beautiful and has a good representation of what it's like to be in dance ect I remember that when I was young they wanted all the kids to wear makeup and they also wanted us to wear corsets because some of this kids including me had a belly that stuck out . I will never got get the day my mom took me and my aunt and walk out of there
my heart can never take seeing interpretations of "inner child". i cry my eyes out every time. i was just scrolling through my youtube shorts and now my heart is shattered. "why does it feel so good to hurt, as if i got what i deserved?" bro. BRO. had to pause and take a lap around my room for that one. crying the whole time. lovely song, i'm adding it to my sad playlist
This whole video reminds me of a moment in my childhood. My mom took me to this lady’s house for work reason. While there I happened to meet her daughter, she was probably in her teens. Curious I talked to her the entire time as she quietly listened to me. During this time, I was into the Barbie, but I couldn’t make many friends due to that, saying it was for babies even though we were in 1st grade. However, that girl made me feel small not too small but small enough I feel enough to fit through. She treated me like i was 6 years old because I was 6 years old. Towards the end of the meet up, we ended up dancing like ballerinas. Now as a graduated high school senior, I wonder how she’s doing now. She might have never remembered me, but I’ll remember her and the impact she brought to that 6 year old that day.
I know it isn't what this song is about, and I feel the message that it is saying, but i wanted to say my own interpretation of the song and what it means to me. Im trans and a sa victum and have never had the opportunity to feel safe and comfortable in my body, so this really hits for me because it's what it feels like. It feels like I crawled into the skin I have now, and all I could do was watch while my body turned into what it is now. Im so excited for the day I can make my body a home that I'm willing to live in. I can't wait for the day that my body looks and feels like home. Love your song so much ❤ definitely adding it to my playlist
I’m not a dancer never have been but I didn’t have a great childhood. And adulthood hasn’t been great so far. I love this… I never related to lyrics about my childhood so much in my life. Thank you for this❤ “I never grew up I crawled into my skin, I don’t have a home now, mins been broken… again and again and again”🥺
As a gymnast I have been body shamed by my coach and this song relates to it I was always put in diets which one made me pass out. I wouldn’t eat for days and just quit for a while I’m back with my coach and I am much older and don’t know what my body’s supposed to look like.
your smile is radiant. you look oh so peaceful twirling around in those pretty pink point shoes. you look so elegant. You’ve probably been told 1000 times that you aren’t quite pretty enough. I’ve heard it all before as well, but it almost looks as if you and that little girl could spin forever. So gracious. And precious.
I really love this so much. What a gift to give yourself having this mini mirror, while also offering Poppy a unique experience to hopefully look back on with fondness. 💞
i do dance, not ballet, i do commercial dance, but it sometimes feels like the moves aren't made for my body type. im tall, with legs and a long torso and am a little bigger than everyone else and this perfectly explains how i feel in those moments
Thank you so much for this, I am really looking forward to the music video. I found you on instagram moments ago, and I already feel touched by your work. I’m so excited to watch you grow as an artist and be there for it. This song will always have a place in my heart.
I love this I have a pretty bad body image and I struggle with self harm and this basically sums you up my whole experience and it’s almost creepy how accurate it is
I never did ballet, or anything of the sort. But I really really relate to this song. As a trans person, not feeling like my body is really mine is a feeling I get often. Thanks for this song, it's really helped me put how I feel into words.
I used to do contemporary dancing, when I was 9. I quit because my mom was noticing body image issues in me because of the class. The last day the teacher was sizing us for the up coming recital and she looked at my waist size and said. “Loose weight your too fat.” And I quit

I love this. I was a dancer for years and when I quit it was the healthiest thing I've ever done. This hits close to home. I love it.
So beautifully relatable in a sad way 💗
