@lucafeelgood my friend – you think deeply, and that calls for a heartfelt THANK YOU - from here.
Imagine if this ballerina also had a heart condition that forced her to take blood-thinning medication every single day for the rest of her life—turning it into a living hell. So, your observation about ballerinas is spot on.
Besides then there are the—unfortunately—familiar issues of eating disorders and a lack of self-esteem that all too often come into play for these girls. In far too many cases, it develops into a debilitating, lifelong condition. It is tragic.
But—fortunately, we are only talking about pixels in this picture, not the real thing; please remember that, folks.
