Why do you dance?

     I was on my way home from the valley last night. It was getting late and I wanted to be at home in my bed. Then I started thinking about all my math homework I didn't do, the blog I needed to post, the piles of laundry that needed to be done, when I heard these words,

"Some dance to remember, some dance to forget."
-Hotel California/ The Eagles

      I thought to myself why do I dance? I realize that the beauty of dancing is I didn't have to choose. I have danced for both reasons. Some of my happiest moment have been dances.
There was the time I did my English project. I felt so proud of myself and even though it "scared" some people, I enjoyed it immensly.
     My favorite part of my trip to Disneyland wasthis awesome TRON rave. Lexi and I raved in the park all night. We met a lot of fun people and even though everyone didn't know each other we all connected though dance. The joy flowed from me all night and I felt like I was on top of the world.
You can also find me at home in my recreation room with my Ipod on shuffle just dancing away. I know I'm not the best dancer by any means but who's to say I can't become her. When you find something that brings you joy, you should never let the fear of other people's reactions keep you from expressing your joys.
  These are the best things in life. The things that bring so much joy. Yeah for me it's dancing and singing but what is it for you? Maybe it's basketball or painting. Maybe it's wrestling or flirting (Maurice) ;-)
Maybe it's cheer or sketching or editing videos. Maybe it's teaching a crazy group of seniors. But whatever it is, once you find it, don't ever let it go. It's your life, make it worth it.
