What Parts of Yourself Have You Lost?

I previously posted a video of me dancing. I used to dance to be sexy, to be cool, to be funny, or to prove my Hispanicness. I was conscious of what I looked like and essentially danced for other people. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It took years of me becoming more comfortable in my body, my taste of music (ranging from 1920's to 1990's classics), and my desire to be joyful - despite what anyone else thinks or says. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And now I dance for me. I dance while I cook, work, commute, shower, and even when I run. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I gave away so much of myself for so long because I care about what others thing, and cannot describe the freedom that came when I made my opinion the most important one.
