i learned something new today.
something most people don’t know about me: i’ve ALWAYS wanted to be a dancer.
i took gymnastics for 6 years where i took ballet as a requirement, and my freshman year i took a dance class at my school that i LOVED! i always wanted to take dance classes, but my parents never really supported my dancing dream.
when i came here and started trying to decide what i wanted to do in college, i knew i wanted to try to make that dream a reality. college is the time to take some chances, ya know? so i worked my ass of for months, stretching, getting myself back in shape, and basically teaching myself (with a little outside help) the moves i needed to master for auditions at McNeese.
well, today, i went to the pre-audition clinic, and i realized something. dance isn’t my thing. i mean, i love to dance. i really do. but it’s not made for me.
it amazes me that it took me so long to accept that. it makes me sad, but also, it’s a little bit of a relief. because now i can leave that dream behind and stop letting it haunt me. i have music; that’s what i’m good at. so music is what i’ll do!
phew! thank you God, for lighting my path and showing me what’s right :)
