Author's note: I've actually felt kind of demotivated lately, even with dance, and I was just going through my blog posts and I found this draft post that I never published. I think I'm just going to publish it now because it helps me remember my motivation, and hopefully I can share it with my readers so that motivation stays around even when I can't see it.

What is dance to me?
Dance keeps me sane.
Why?
Dance....it will never judge you, it will never offend you, hurt your feelings. It is always there as something that you can always choose how much you want to challenge yourself with.
When you feel tired, you can always just enjoy muscle memory.
When you feel like challenging yourself a little, you can learn something easy, or drilling something you're familiar with.
When you feel like challenging yourself a lot, you can learn something you're unfamiliar with, or something complicated, and difficult.
When you feel like pushing your creativity,
With dance...you can choose the emotions you want to feel. You can feel sexy, you can feel swag, you can feel adept, you can feel beautiful, you can feel powerful...and you can share that overwhelming emotion with both your mind and body.
It will never give up on you. Like any dream, it will be there for you, and wait for you, no matter how long, or when.
I just hope I can achieve what I want...with the time I have.
