If A Girl Wants To Dance....




I had a conversation the other day with a friend about how strongly we thought that the idea that we all want what we can't have applies to us. At the end of this short but interesting chat, we agreed that it's most likely that everybody is intrigued by the experiences they don't know. I couldn't help thinking about it all that night, and then I realized that recently I've been wanting one something in particular.

Somehow I've hurt my knee, and although I'm not quite sure what the problem is yet, I know that dancing is out of the question. And knowing that makes me want it so much more. I have been watching Riverdance, hand-dancing, and even listening to accordion music for fun, for goodness sake! Before my knee buckled, I hadn't danced in three weeks. It makes me so sad that I wasn't taking advantage of the free time I had and a healthy body. Watching my dance friends is definitely bringing out a nostalgic and pretty competitive side of me, so now, with a new appreciation, I wait for either bad news, or (hopefully) an all-clear from the doctor, to dance a happy little jig.
