@ballasarnold wait this is going to sound really bad but everyone’s changed their names and @ s and shit who r u lol

[leah @carsonherjavec]

you can tell I haven’t been on this account in a million years based on the fact that my phone no longer recognized dwts as a work

[leah @carsonherjavec]

what if I fucked around and started watching dwts again

[leah @carsonherjavec]

@juliadelbel @TaysImpact Oh interesting... when I left everyone lowkey disliked her and now I don’t like her and people do 😂

[leah @carsonherjavec]

can someone give me a brief rundown of what the hell happened in season 25

[leah @carsonherjavec]

@juliadelbel @TaysImpact Wait what happened in 25

[leah @carsonherjavec]

like I just found this old dm... why did I ever think this was funny??????

[leah @carsonherjavec]

@hayleysmix 💜💜💜 miss you!

[leah @carsonherjavec]

hello! it is me, here for a short amount of time before I probably take another break for months! how is everyone?

[leah @carsonherjavec]

Oh... and remember me being a witney stan??? she was the first dwts person I unfollowed on insta bc I was fed up with all of her fakeness and constant sponsored posts... oops 🙊

[leah @carsonherjavec]

I’m still so excited for Robert and kyms babies btw, I still follow them religiously.

[leah @carsonherjavec]

I guess while I’m here for a bit I might as well explain why I left for anyone who cares

[leah @carsonherjavec]

I fell for the show fast, and wanted to know all there was. In a matter of weeks, I learned all there was to know about ballroom and Latin dance, and felt like I needed a place to talk about my new love, so this Twitter was born

[leah @carsonherjavec]

If you want to keep up with my shenanigans, my personal is @leahdobres where I mostly just post about memes and politics

[leah @carsonherjavec]

this happened with dwts. I had a friend who watched it and she got me hooked, especially bc that season an actress from my fave show was competing (janel) as well as a YouTuber I loved (Bethany)

[leah @carsonherjavec]

so now here we are. I’m not deleting this account, but I don’t plan to go on it much (not that I do now anyways lmao) but dwts will always still have a special place in my heart.

[leah @carsonherjavec]

I fell out of the fandom as quickly as I got into it. I gradually stopped checking this account bc of the drama and not being as involved with dwts, and that’s where we are now. In a perfect world, id still watch the show, but I don’t have time rivht now.

[leah @carsonherjavec]

Anyways, around the same time, I believe it was season 23 or 24, I had to stop watching dwts bc I had no time anymore. I fell so behind that I couldn’t catch up, and it made me loose touch with the fandom even more.

[leah @carsonherjavec]

This was all going on as my friends were finding this account, and there was all of that drama.

[leah @carsonherjavec]

Nonetheless, I felt like no one liked me anymore, and it tore up my self confidence. Rather than this being somewhere I could be myself, it became somewhere where I was trying to impress everyone.

[leah @carsonherjavec]

but of course, things changed. As the fandom changed and grew, new friend groups formed, and I found myself doing anything I could to stay part of the “in group”. I stayed up all night on periscopes, tried to make good jokes in group chats, I wanted to be liked.

[leah @carsonherjavec]

I especially loved feeling like I was part of the in crowd. I’m not proud of it, but I reveled in telling people they couldn’t be in the group. I felt special, and didn’t want to share.
