Dance Like No One is Watching

The sun bounces off the frosted roads, traffic is slow, and the heat is on high. The volume on the stereo is low, and I try to focus on the road. I get stuck at a red light and avert the glare of the sun. I notice a girl holding one of those signs on the corner of the street. She's wearing at least three layers of jackets and sweaters to keep herself warm, and a cheap pair of earbuds dangle dangerously from her ears. 

She's doing the side step, and nodding her head to the music. She's in a whole other world; her eyes are closed and she occasionally turns in a circle- her feet bouncing on the concrete. My eyes linger on her a moment more, and the light changes. I crank up the volume. My head bounces with the rhythm of the radio, my fingers tap on the steering wheel, and I could have swore she gave me a knowing smile as I drove away.

Music is one of the most powerful gifts mankind could ever receive. For some reason, a collection of random notes (when done correctly) have the power to completely change someone's life. It's almost scary. Scary how easily others can see our feelings, scary how easily those feelings can change.

Everyone has their ways of fighting their dragons and expressing their emotions- music is just one of many ways we can do so; but do pick one. Learn to dance like no one is watching, and sing like no one is listening because one day, it might be too late. <3
