You know that feeling you get when you are just about to finish a long and tiring routine. You are on the last song- they hypest song of the routine and the one that takes the most energy. You feel your stamina quickly decreasing and your body is about to just give out. It's ironic that when you feel the most exhausted, this is the moment where you have to push yourself the hardest. For me, in this moment, suddenly I don't hear the crowd or the music. I just hear the beat of my heart and my heavy breathing. It's the moment where you can chose to either go harder or half-ass it till the end because you are "tired".
I admit that I've half-assed it a few times, but the end it just felt so unsatisfying. It just feels so damn good to know that in your weakest moment; you pulled through. Not only did you make it to the end of the routine, you fucking killed the last section and went out with a bang. I think second from the feeling you get from being onstage, this feeling is the most rewarding feeling in the world.
I'm really glad that I found dance, otherwise how would I know to apply this in real life? I've been through a lot (who hasn't) but if not for dance, I don't know how I would have made it through all the struggles I've experienced. I would have never had the drive to just push through my weakest moments and come out even stronger. It's only been the 3rd day of the semester and I can tell that it's not going to be easy. I've looked over all my course outlines and fuck am I in for a stressful semester. Juggling school, work, 3 dance groups, homework, my family, and my friends all seems impossible at the moment but I know that I can do it. All I need to remember is to just "push it".
