I feel like I havn't been myself lately, or rather that I never was my self but this false Goddess roaming around trying to be what they wanted me to be even though I hated them and the. I want to get into myself. Damn it I'm going to dance even if I have to make my own company and call it Hippos on Pointe. I don't think most people get what I dream of. Most don't know that I want kids, that I want a semi deflicted white picket fence. I want to marry if it means they'll keep me and perhaps love me. WHy can't they see? I don';t want the limits but I want the challeges that bind me . .. I am making no sense what so ever and I can't get it. I can't understand any of the s**t going through my head. I have to dance I want to go to class.
I want to be one of those moms who takes care of their family and makes a bento for their husband. I want to go to class everyday and dance my heart out to come home to my kids who like me and see me as I really am. My mind tells me this is wrong. That I am trying to be a fiftties wife and I hear screaming about the womans movement. A part of me won't let me be just a house wife but another part of my brain is saying ******** it none of it is worth it if I can't be. Who I am. GGrrrrrs
My brain just needs a good click click boom.

An art process in not essentially a natural process; it is an invented one. It can take actions of organization from the way nature functions, but essentially man invents the process. And from or for that process he derives a discipline to make and keep the process functioning. That discipline too is not a natural process. The daily discipline, the continued keeping of the elasticity of the muscles, the continued control of the mind over the body’s actions, the constant hoped-for flow of the spirit into physical movement, both new and renewed, is not a natural way. It is unnatural in its demands on all the sources of energy. But the final synthesis can be a natural one, natural in the sense that the mind, body and spirit function as one. *Merce Cunningham*
Dance is your pulse, your heartbeat, your breathing. It's the rhythym of your life. Its the expression in time and movement, in happiness, joy, sadness and envy. *Jaques D'Amboise*

We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. *Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche*
To sing well and to dance is to be well educated. *Plato*

Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did, backwards and on high heels. *unknown*
