"HELP WANTED"

Have you ever seen the show "Made"? I believe it was on MTV or something like that... and I was never a big fan, but essentially the show is about individuals who want to be "made" into someone else. Usually its a very drastic change from the person that they start out as. (For instance, a country boy wanting to become a fashion designer.)
Again, I was not an avid fan of the show, but I've always been attracted to the premise of it. There have been so many things I've wanted to be, and talents I've wanted to develop that seemed out of the scope of possibility.
Exhibit A: Dancing. I attempted a dance class in high school, and I actually kind of enjoyed it. But I've always felt too tall to look as graceful as the dancers I admired. Soo... I quit dance to be an athletic trainer (which somehow covered my PE credit without us doing any physical activity.)
It is also important to understand how much I love watching people perform. It inspires me. When I watch So you think you can dance, my leg and arm muscles are dying to try out the choreography. When I listen to music I can envision how I would dance to it if my body knew how to.
I had a moment last night, while I was re-watching my favorite dances from this last season, where I pictured my life in the future. I realized that I will never be a dancer. I'm not taking classes, I'm not trying to become more flexible, I'm not doing anything. I can't even explain how crushed I was to figure this out. I doubt I'm the only one that wants to become someone, but imagines that it will just happen with all the time I have left for my life.
Some people start dancing when they are toddlers, some in their teens. I don't think there are many who start at 21, but I want to be a dancer.
I would explain the point of all this, but I think this quote says it best..

So if you know someone, or you are someone, who is patient and willing to work with an inflexible, uncoordinated wannabe dancer, please send them my way!

(Seriously though.)
