there are definitely quite a few songs (they also come and go), but the biggest one i can think of right now is “what i did for love” from a chorus line. though the title and lyrics might suggest it’s about a significant other, it’s actually about a love for dance. the characters are faced with the question of what they will do when they no longer dance and they respond that whatever happens in the end, they will never regret the sacrifices they made to pursue their passion. dance has been a huge part of my life for as long as i remember and i’ve definitely made a lot of sacrifices for it. if i hadn’t chosen dance over going to a prestigious high school, i probably would have gotten into my dream college. this past semester, i gave up a lot of my free time because i wanted to dance more. i love it so much and i use this song to remind myself what all this sacrifice was for. being so dedicated to dancing (albeit recreationally, i was never going to go pro) has brought me my fair share of pain, but i wouldn’t give it up for anything.
well now that i’ve poured my heart out to you (and the rest of tumblr), i hope you have a great day! xoxo, m
