Would you come dance with me? 10/19/18

Dancing to me is a form of freedom, it's showing the world with your body that your free that you like to have fun. For others, it's a way of them representing their cultures, like belly dancing in Mumbai India or salsa originating from the Caribbean.

When you see people dance two things go through your head, let me get out there and try that or there's no way I can do that. With dancing the only way you can learn is by trying which is why a lot of people say that they "don't dance" because there to scared to go out there and embarrass themselves but that's apart of the process is doing that and getting better.

Has anyone ever asked you to dance?

My favorite dance scene (I know this is gonna sound cheesy) is in a movie called the notebook when he asked her to dance in the middle of the street, there so much love and freedom in one scene it's amazing.

My very first dance I was in the sixth grade at Redding middle school. I was nervous when I walked in because I didn't how to dance but by the end, I got so excited I did a backflip off of a wall.

Maybe you won't be doing backflips like me if you go out there and try it but I encourage you to go for it, the dancing community is a very friendly place with lots of free classes and people willing to teach you. You get so close with who your dancing with plus you make lots of friends which is always a good thing. So next time your out, you have the opportunity to dance even if it's just for a little bit go for it, get outside of your comfort zone. Thanks for reading.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
