Dance, don't compare

Date: 4/1/2016

When you don't compare yourself to others you can just be you. One hundred percent. And everyone else is not you. I dance and look around. Others are dancing like me and I dance almost just like them, but not exactly. Never exactly. It's impossible. The music moves me and I move and feel good and that makes me feel wonderful, to just be enjoying life. This older guy near me asks the point of this exercise, he says he remembers he had a revelation a long time ago about this stuff but can't remember. I share with him my experience. There's a game being played. Collecting blossoms and bugs. The bugs are flying. You are supposed to eat one as part of the game. They are giant like scarab beetles, so I don't eat one. People act like I'm being no fun not playing along but I say I have the most fun if I just do the parts I like. I feel a little bad but know it's true. Trying on funny clothes and kissing people - I'll do those all day long. Becky had the blossoms and bugs. My mom was there somewhere. Mondi was too.
