I always say Love is the way...I can only show that person how I feel, but without reciprocation I am only that...a show. Always and forever an entertainer emitting my emotions through thoughts, words and movements only to feed off it from my audience. How is it, then, that the audience of choice chooses not to watch? Is that what entices me to push forth? To go beyond my norm and grow beyond the boundaries in hopes to reach what I need?
Stepping away from personal matters of my heart, my life as a dance teacher has been a good experience for me. I've been a teacher for a while now and it has allowed me to grow so much as a person. Teaching has given me the gift of patience, understanding, compassion and empathy. I want every one of my students to excel and want a level of skill that breaks beyond and surpasses my own. To watch my students master a dance motion, or smile when they finally executed a move that they've struggled with gives me a satisfaction that has no definition.
Amongst all that, I still fear that I am burned out in life. Its been too long that I have gone without my motivation. I know what the next steps are, but I cannot find my light to show me the way. If I live by what I believe-that love is the way-I cannot see it.
