What Happens?

A lot of people continue to ask me "What happens if you come to the realization that you are not a good dancer?" or "What happens when you don't love it as much?" or the most common question, "What happens if you get injured?"
Each question is a great question to ponder, however, for a dancer very simple to answer. When somebody asks me what happens if I come to the realization that I am not a good dancer, I simply reply, "I find out what I can do to make my dancing better, and if that means starting over from scratch, then I will, dance is worth fighting for to me."
Then they always ask me what happens when I don't love dance so much? I quickly respond, “That will NEVER happen, my drive for dance is so powerful that I know in my heart I will always love dance as much as I love my family, dance does so much for me that I will never stop loving it.”
And then I get asked the most commonly asked question “What happens if you get injured?” I always give the same response, "Wait for it to heal, get my strength back, and start over, I realize that this will take a long time, will get frustrating at times, but I don't care, I will fight for what I love to do and what makes me happy. “Then they reply with, "What if it is serious enough that you will never dance again?" This question is a little more difficult to answer because honestly I don't know, if I could never dance again, I wouldn’t be myself, I wouldn’t be the same girl I am today without dance.
         If someone is a true dancer, they won’t be able to answer the question “What happens if you can never dance again?” because they will never find something they love as much as dancing.
