Catch your dreams



If I walk, would you run
If I stop, would you come
If I say you're the one,
Would you believe me?

Tonight I feel more in touch with myself than I've ever been in weeks. I will be going back to ballet very soon. I've been pondering for very long if I should just remain in contemporary dance or return to ballet. I don't even know why I wasted so much time-- ballet is where I belong. It is the language I speak, the first thing I ever was serious about, the first thing that was real in my life.

To people, dance might just be something that exists, or something entertaining to watch once in a while. But to me, dance is a part of me. Without dancing, I will feel as though half of me is missing. I've never found the feeling that dancing has given me anywhere else. Dance is something that I can never, and will never let go of.

You can't stop a dancer from dancing. If she is born to dance, she will live to dance. She doesn't need a stage, or a spotlight, she doesn't need an audience or pretty costumes. All she needs is that passion that she cannot suppress, that strength that drives her to go further, to do more, that pushes her to the maximum. All she needs is that love that nobody can take away from her.

To people, a stage might just be a bare, cold floor. But to me, a stage, when I start dancing, is on fire.

I am ready to go for this. Because it is what I love, it is my dream. I'm not somebody that can sit around to watch my dreams drift further and further away from me. I am girl that fights for what I want. I want dance, I want ballet.
