A true friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you

Our love is like the wind, you can't see it, but you can feel it. -A Walk to Remember

I dance not because I love it, but because I couldn't live without it.


The apprehension is thick
The cloud of hairspray simmers in the air
Girls scurry in bright sequined tutus
Shoes clatter
Shushed and hushed voices chatter
Excitement and anticipation course through my veins
But no butterflies flutter inside me today
It’s my cue
Tip toe onstage
Lights flicker and flash
Music swells
And I
begin
To
Dance
