a TERPSICHOREAN

A TERPSICHOREAN

Hi I am a simple student a typical boy that you can't even feel the existence even though I am right there. Like any other student I just go to school to be present, making ass, reviewing notes when needed and if not just sitting in my chair and do nothing. While passing by in a covered court full of students practicing for their presentation I can see how they were enjoying every step of their foot, every moves of their hand together with their  body like a flying pigeon, by the way I like I mean I love to dance. To move as one with the music. To sway my body with a rhythm. To turn my body like a ballerino. I love to dance but can't afford to do so because of me being Introverted. I dance where there is no someone around me cause I dont have the ego to show it. I always bow my head so they couldn't see my faced straight forward. I hate the feelings that someone is looking at me directly. 
           After graduating in high school I took up a Bachelor degree in Architecture. Do you wonder why I took this course, yes you are correct with what you are thinking apart from dancing I can also drew. A talent where I could put my emotions and the things I am shy about to do in a real world. When I was about to move up as a third year college my family got bankrupt that even comes to the point that we couldn't afford to eat three times a day. That's why I decided to stop studying and go to other city's to help my family with financial support. I look for a job but can't find one. No one wants to hire me because some of them have a high qualifications and I also dont have an experience. I am already losing hope. I don't know what to do, where to go. But I don't dare to stop though cause I know I have a family who depends in me. After a month I was hired as a food and beverage attendant at a restaurant and a service cleaner at night, and in my free time I drew anything for a students in exchange of money. I work to do the bones I make nights as morning that's my life a year and a year and a year after this jobs help me to go out from my comfort zone I'm not that shy anymore a daily conversation with different person, different personalities dont rattle me anymore Im still not the greatest but I am glad that I have a progress.
          One day  when I am walking on the street to go home. I feel that there is something missing in my life which is happiness. I've give so much focus on earning money while I forgot to find myself happiness. As I walk through I saw a bunch of people debate through dancing. They used their body us a voice. While watching  them I was really amazed and don't even realized that I was smiling through their battle.Hayyy  Ive already forgotten tha I used to dream to become a dancer back then. As they finished they battle I continue to walk, when I got home I lay down on my bed still thinking of what I have watched a while ago. And suddenly I came to this conclusion maybe I could still pursue my love for dancing. Maybe it will be late but still wanna try it cause I don't wanna regret anymore. I started to join in a street dance, I jam with them even though I don't know who is who. I join to a cover dance group we compete to different city's, until we go internationally. I save up those prizes I win. When there is no gig I work as a dance instructor. As the time goes by after saving up I established my own dance school/studio. I am glad I have pursue this path. While watching the trainees dance gracefully I saw my old self in them the time were I was on struggles, the time were I was scared to move and sway my body in front of so many people,the time I was dreaming to become a dancer.I can't even imagine that introverted self is now head up with a pride. I can't even believe that I will go far away and achieve my dreams to become a dancer. I am happy cause I am now a certified Terpsichorean. I am happy cause I am now doing what I love to do. I am glad that I did not quit.

Do the things you really wanna do and love to do so you wouldn't regret in the end. Remember this, it will never be too late in achieving those dream

_happy_
