Dancing For The Soul

The feelings of a dancer.

Dancers are artist

If a stage were a canvas they would leave behind a beautiful mural

Eliciting happiness, excitement, sadness, anger, thrills and power

But all in glory and creation

You are with the music, a piece of it and the dance

You are raw

You are not human. Strictly dancer

A performer

You are color and life

Your body may be lost in the music but your identity is completely found

The more passionately you move the more flowers bloom inside you

Your intensity radiates so far it's impossible for anyone to ignore it

When you cannot escape anywhere else you can go to dance

It revives and gives you are a reason to smile again

Whether you have all the technique in the world

Or just enjoy the freedom

It is all fun, all good

There is no need to think just dance

Just feel the music and go

Something inside you is unleashed and you have no desire to tie it back up

When words fail dance does not

It speaks louder than you ever could

Dances are stories

They have their own life, their own odyssey

They tell comedy and tragedy

Bringing pain-relief and strength

Dance teachers have brought a deeper meaning to your life

Something not entirely explainable, but completely felt with every fiber

A way of expression, of presentation

A happiness amongst the people that have seen growth in your movement

A safe haven where as long as you put your heart into your art all will be well

When the world beats down in terror it is a shield

You could go in with angst and come out with euphoria

The idea of stopping is gut wrenching

No matter the blood, bruises and pains

It is all for a greater purpose

For your soul's expression of passion

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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.
