bgirl?!?

A couple of my friends have been getting into breakdancing.

Now.

I'm not much of a dancer. LOL. I'm awkward, clumsy, self-conscious- everything that I find dancers not. But ever since I was 15, I wanted to get into popping and locking (breaking seemed too epic for me so it never even crossed my mind). However, I felt stupid and I hate being a novice at things, so I kept quitting early haha. But after my friend talked to me about it, I remembered that everyone sucks in the beginning and it's okay to feel like I'm stampeding on major cities and calling it dancing.

The more I'm learning about the culture and history of breaking and the more vids I watch, the more I want to take part in it. Yeah I admit to look really awesome, which may never happen, but also because I feel like I can somewhat relate to its history and what it stands for.

I didn't grow up in the Bronx and I've lived thus far a relatively comfortable and wealthy life. But like many brothers and sisters, I have my own story, with the good and the bad.

I enjoy writing but when it comes to expressing myself, it doesn't satisfy me... Besides, music has always been a huge part of my life. I was born melodramatic haha I wish I got into dancing when I was younger. Breaking has this aggressiveness that's extremely appealing to me haha I feel like I can effectively vent out my anger and hurt if I got good enough at it. I want to become fluent in breaking and make it my own language! And have swag like CL. Hahahah.

We'll see how long this lasts :D.

  1. you gotta watch planet bboy. Great movie/documentary about the international bboy battle of the year in Germany. I saw it in theaters a couple years ago but it never really got attention. I thought it was pretty inspirational.

    I've wanted to get into it forever, but I keep making excuses. Just trying to get in decent shape for now until I finally have time to mess around
