Brah.
Sometimes.
It’s not that easy.

I’m in awe and I’m beyond thankful.

I’m stoked man. I’ve been so busy lately, but a good kind of busy. Like I’m tired and really I just want to sleep. There’s just a lot of projects that I’m working on and even more headed my way. Even when I get home from work, I feel like I don’t stop working, because I’m usually prepping for the next day or I’m going back and forth with emails and messages for upcoming events. It’s a great feeling knowing that I have something to look forward to. My calendar is getting filled up! On days that I do have some time for myself, I’m working out, sometimes with my mom, and actually that’s been really cool, because I’m really proud of my mom for wanting to be active. On the weekends, I’m out and about with some of the greatest humans. I definitely appreciate the time to have fun and not think about work stuff, and especially not school work. It’s different and I like it. I’ll #keepmovingforward from here.

I actually was really happy today.

Dance

I started bboying in middle school, sometime in 2008. It’s been a decade since and I’m still dancing to this day. 

I went through a lot experiences with learning new moves, meeting other dancers, and competing in events like World of Dance Hawaii. I love dancing and I will never give it up. I used to say that I was gonna make it to all the major events, and eventually make it the world stage of RedBull: BC One. I really wanted those things, but I realized I was never that serious about it. I figured it out when I found myself not practicing for months at a time. Then all of the sudden I would get inspired and start practicing again. I was okay with that, but I’ve realized that’s “how it is now”. I don’t have the same fire that I had when I was in high school. I would go to events but not enter, rather I would support all my friends and cypher in the circles. To me, that’s more than enough.

 I guess I had this feeling that I needed to compete to fully understand this dance. But I’m totally okay with just doing this for fun, and that’s the thing––fun. I’m told that if I’m not having fun, then I’m missing the whole point of the dance. It’s the freedom to express myself, to let loose, and to release stress, anger, and sadness. At the end of the day, it’s all for fun. 

That’s why I’m okay with doing this just for fun. It will always be a part of who I am, nothing will change that. I love dancing and I will never give it up. 

Tumblr! It’s been a very long time since I’ve made a post. I made a playlist on spotify for classic rock songs. It’s awesome.
