Journal 7

I'm not like the others in the fact that I'm tall. That I'm bigger. Not that I'm big, but bigger (there is a difference). I'm also not as flexible. Or as powerful. I don't do acrobatics. I don't to "six o'clock's." I don't spin like a top. I don't leap eighteen feet off the floor. But that doesn't mean I don't dance. That doesn't mean I don't try. That doesn't mean I'm not a dancer just like them. I can do things they can't. I can Tap. I can feel the beat and count the music better than anyone. I can do that. So, I may not be the next great thing to hit the world with my ability, but at least I can say that I am still one of them. I'm still me.

The reason I picked those pictures is because it shows what dancers can do. But it also shows that there are good dancers out there that can do more than that. I don't want to be the most flexible, or the one that can do the most turns, or the one that is better than everyone else. I just wanted to be the one that is good at what I wanted to be at. The images are part of my life of things that people can do, but not the things that I could make my body do. The top picture is of a tapper. Of someone that can do tap dance that not everyone can. It's my favorite. It explains me.
