You're the type of guy to take home to Mom, if my momma was dead.

Little kids never cease to amaze. I just wish everyone could be as real as they are. Their pureness and sincerity is evident in everything they do. There is a little group in particular that I am referring to: my acrobatics class. I'll be honest. As far as people go... that's the class I look forward to the most. I should feel so awkward. I mean I'm sixteen and I'm just learning to do a cartwheel. These girls are half my age and should be laughing their asses off at me but instead they encourage. Every little success of mine is shared with all of them. On Friday, for the first time, I came up from a back bend on my knees by myself and was then enveloped in a group hug. It was the sweetest thing that has happened in a long time. Dance means... well everything to me and to know that I have made some great friends of all ages thrills me beyond compare. I mean it's odd. The whole dance studio situation is like a family in it's own. Like the mob without all the violence. The more people that I get to dance with, the more I feel included in the family. Hell, I think I'm finally a made member. And the other thing that fascinates me about these younger kids is the fact that they want to be there. Some girls in my older classes just don't seem to understand that it is a team effort. The four year olds can understand that. Why can't they? But anyway... I think that my dance teacher's mom is starting to see how much this all means to me and that's good because I see her as the toughest critic for some reason...but hey it's about time! I mean the flag should have gone up when I decided to better myself by taking two classes with kids half my age. (Best decision I have made in a long time) It just feels good to see that people are noticing. This is my life. My love. My passion. And one day, all these small triumphs will show their importance. Every day I inch closer to The Revolution Dance Studio is a day I throw myself into full heartily. I've found it. I've found me and damn it feels good.
