Inspiration

(props to my mentor Manny for the idea)
The biggest thing that we as a human race should give thanks to God for (aside from sending His son to die on the cross for our sins) is the gift of gifts. Through the different gifts that each of us receives, we are able to add a brush stroke of our personal paint color to the mural that is the world. Gifts provide us with a door by which we allow others to see into who we really are. However, some people leave their gifts by the waste side, never giving themselves a chance to reach their maximum potential. At one point, this was me. Ever since ever, I've always been attracted to the art form of dance. Theatrical, modern, or street, I've always had an affinity towards the different movements of the body. Fear and doubt, however, was always there to stop me from fully becoming personal with dance. Questions and excuses seemed endless when it came to reasons why I shouldn't take dance up. Until one day a friend (almost sister) of mine introduced me to dance. Thrown into it, and scared out of my mind, I hesitantly became more familiar with dance. Then, I feel in love. For years the cry of my heart was to find something that was mine. To find that one thing that I could label as my gift. My lover. Dance was my answer. With dance, one is allowed to completely express their inner emotions. The ultimate portal into the mind. Anger. Stress. Love. Faith. All are expressed through the passionate and brilliant movements of the body. A year later and the relationship continues. Had I not found dance, another gift would have been left by the waste side. A relationship would have never been found.

A Gift= the one thing you can't live without. The thing that keeps you up at night. That gives you butterflies, but of excitement. That enlightens the world as to who you are.

Food for Thought.
