Reflection: Dance

This has been one of my favorite CAS journeys. Dancing was one way I escaped reality and entered into a new zone altogether. Coordination, choreography, beats and the moment - all the things I need for feeling alive and happy. I have always thought that present form does not exist. In a moment what you do becomes past tense and you never have present, time never stops but I was wrong. When you dance, you feel alive at the moment and I tried to take in everything around and feel alive. You lose yourself and all you can hear is the beat driving your mind crazy and losing yourself little by little to its symphony. And once you come back to reality, you feel lighter, so much more light. However, I realized, this form of art is not really my strength, it's more like a hobby, somewhere I lose myself. Dancing in front of a camera or audience makes my spine cold and I can feel my gut scream at me that this is not my strength. I dance in a closed room with loud music and this activity made me fight this fear and understand that it is okay to not be extremely good at something. You have so many more things to try out and the quest for your strength continues for life.
