Find and Lose yourself in Dance.


Time: 02 30

Status: Not in the best of mood. So move on to other posts should you find that this post is gonna be to solemn for you.

We all have days where we will feel so lost. Today is one of those days for me. Blame it on the stress or the fact that I see other’s life moving on to for the better and yet my clock seems to have stopped.

Whenever this happens, I find myself thinking back on the days where I had to choice to choose dance or the current path I’m on. Seriously I’m not sure which is better (and I’m not lamenting here, just a passing thought), all I know is that the picture I’m looking at right now (picture below) can’t be more true.

Find and lose yourself in dance

The happiest time of my life when I’m doing exactly that.

I can never find anything else that can allow me to find and lose myself at the same time. And as I sit here, wallowing on my glory past, I wish to give a word of advice to those of you at the crossroad: Sometimes what your heart desire may not seem like the right choice, and sometimes it doesn’t even matter if it is the right choice. All you need is to believe in your choice and yes, sometimes you may be like me, sitting in front of the computer in the late night lamenting and wallowing in self-pity, but know that this feeling will pass. Is always the darkest before dawn, isn’t it? So when tomorrow comes, we will all be ready the fight the obstacles in the path that we have chosen.

One thing I’ve learnt, DANCE, it may not need to be physical. Have the melody in your head and let your mind dance  away. You probably can’t lose and find yourself AT THE SAME TIME but you may find that you can also find yourself back on track if you ever felt lost like I did. Sometimes that’s enough, that’s all you need.

So I’m gonna spend tonight feeling lost and wallow in self-pity, it somehow reminds me to dance. And then by tomorrow I’ll be the fighter I’ve known I am once more. No, seriously I meant fighter literally. I have to fight off the lazy bug and study hard for my exam lol!

Ending words: Here’s to all who are or had been lost, never regret your choice. They were a choice for a reason. Simply find the way back and MAKE it the right choice.

xoxo,

Ada

PS: Pardon me if you felt lost reading this post. I’m simply penning down my thoughts as I go along. I really do hope that one way or another, this post will benefit you.
