So here's what's going down. I'm going to be real honest right now. Just remember, you're probably reading this because you know and love me anyways (or cause I begged you to). Anywho...the truth is, I'm addicted to trying new things. Seriously, I love it. But more than that, I'm addicted to being good at things. Sounds terrible, I know. Also sounds prideful. I just really enjoy feeling like my adventures are succesful. Anyways, that's exactly what I was thinking when I signed up for a tap dancing class with my great friend BREA.
But as soon as we slid into windows and proceeded to practice falaps, I remembered...
I am TERRIBLE at tap dance. My conclusion was only confirmed as we lined up and did combinations of shuffles and other tappity-tap-tap moves. Oh did I mention...I FORGOT one of the laces for my shoes and had to tap in socks? Did I also mention, someone broke the rules and had been chewing gum in the studio? Too bad I found this out after stepping on it. Yeah...soups awk. You know when you take a class, and there's always that group of people who things are just not clicking for? Yeah, I was in that group. The SLOW tap group. I looked an awful lot like this.
Brea was so great though! She looked an awful lot like this. Seriously, I was so proud to call her my friend!
And you know what? I'm actually glad I am taking this class! Even though I usually would refer to myself as a "sore loser". I have been trying this year to live in my imperfections, well to be okay with them, and I think this is good practice. Philipians 3:12 says "I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on..." Life is all about trying new things, and failing, and succeeding, and loving every moment of it. So I will not be dropping this course, because it is so fun.
Anyways, I love you guys, and hopefully this adventure isn't too much for me.
And world keep an eye out, Brea is pretty much going to be tapping for a living cause she's that great! I'm seriously so proud of her!
Love.
