When I was around 6, my trad jewish mother started dating a czechoslovakian lion tamer/magician/acrobat. Me and my siblings traveled around the world with the entire production crew, and raised baby cubs back home in Pennsylvania. Peta turn away I was a kid idk - they were also rescued from poaching grounds
The show had long-term residencies in shanghai, rio de janeiro, atlantic city, vegas, nashville, kuala lumpur, and many more places. I was a dancer in it for fun at 11, even though the other dancers were full on show girls aha. My mom and the magician had a baby around this time too, so my little brother fully has circus blood lolll. Not even my most coveted family lore mwahah but it’s pretty silly. Little me and one of the tigers Dora pictured

i was 3-4ish, jumping back and fourth between two couches arranged in an L shape wearing the new dress my grandma brought me- it was covered in little tigers peeking out from jungle foliage!! i think the jumping was a reaction to this acquisition

i watched it when i was 12 and it made me realize a whole different world exists and that i too could be a part of it. 13 years later i work in touring doing a job i love and that wouldn’t be the case if i didn‘t lay down on the floor of my friend‘s living room and let penny lane show me that it is all happening all the time.

* my dog Maddie licking cherry pie off of my hands
* my parents were having their annual Christmas party and I was standing in a dark bathroom with a crack of light coming in from the hall, watching my own reflection in the mirror as my nose bled (sounds sinister but I think I was just having a nosebleed)
* clown at the county fair psychologically traumatized me by i got your nose-ing me and another clown painted my nose red. I couldn’t get the face paint off when I got home and I was in tears
* I was mad that my sister had been born. the doctor at the hospital tried to amuse me by blowing up a glove into a balloon animal. my dad and I went home from the hospital for the night and i opened up some presents my grandparents had sent me and my dad and I rented the Barney movie from Blockbuster lol
* another one which may be the earliest but I shan’t share it… nobody needs to know the melancholy of little Tate R. Hole

In college I crushed on a guy with a mullet then realized I could just get my own mullet. Thought this dude in a bolo tie recently was so hot then I just started wearing a bolo tie. Surface level crushes are the perfect inspo source
