- short caption: i was in mexico earlier this year. my friend and i decided to find a dope location, put some music on and document it. so here i am…in a random open area in tulum…freestyling to a dope mix by @hasaninsane… while one of my best friends records me… as strangers stop to stand behind her and watch. fun times.
long caption:
time.
the concept of time.
the construct of time.
it can really get us into spaces of spiraled thoughts, resentment, regret, anxiety, impatience, fear - the list goes on.
dance has been a part of me since my conception. within the last few years, i became aware of certain recurring thoughts that were swarming in spaces of regret and resentment (not only towards others, but towards myself). one of the triggers was not pursuing dance professionally. for many reasons that spanned from fear, cultural acceptance, my upbringing, external opinions of creatives vs “the big 3” (doctor/lawyer/engineer), etc; i took on roles that i thought would be “acceptable.” however, what’s a part of you will always find its way around. i’ve seen that firsthand by all the different dance opportunities i’ve been blessed with as someone that *wasn’t* formally trained. time. an interesting concept when combined with fear.
honestly, i’m grateful for the many inspiring people i have around me that push past all of that and/or just naturally move with love and passion (regardless of time).
a friend who is setting her sights and spirits on becoming pregnant at the age of 50.
another putting out their (world changing) music their late 30s.
another that started dating (like ever) at the age of 39, met his wife that same year, married within 6 months and now have 3 *beautiful* and *brilliant* children, happy, thriving marriage, living in a 2 million dollar home
another writing for beyonce in their mid 30s.
another starting a catering business in her late 60s.
but for a lot of people….cue in the construct of time.
it’s too late for me. i’m too old. etc.
eff all that. eff all the excuses, reasons, expectations to validate why you shoulda, coulda, woulda. even if you may not reach a desired level or heights within your imagination, at least you’re doing something you love.
regardless of time.
regardless of allllll the stories we create to *not do* or **not be**.
i embrace all the parts of who i am. it’s not easy but it’s better than staying in those spaces listed in the beginning.
