I’m taking a different path, and not settling.
It’s risky. I’ve bills to pay, a place to rent.
A friend once said “If you love where you are, you’ll find a job that you like. If you take a job and don’t like where it is, you’ll always struggle to make it work.”
Dancing is my passion. Happiness is my home.
Both are possible.
It’s mine if I remain true to what I want.
There. Ahead. My oasis.
Home.
I dance. I thrive.
