realization about age... there's nothing to be afraid of

what i learned today after taking classes from THE LAB 3:

parang totoo 'yung "you can't teach an old dog some new tricks" na kasabihan -- hahaha, did i just call myself an old dog?

but seriously, i've watched a video of me dancing Calvin's routine and kita ko na parang may struggle... but i'm perfectly fine with it, kanya-kanyang perception lang siguro 'yan. kung paano mo tatanggapin ang katotohan!

i've realized kasi na there will come a point in your life as a dancer na TALAGANG magsisimula nang mag-degenerate 'yung kakayanan ng katawan mo to make movements beautiful (commercial beautiful). BUT, that shouldn't stop you from learning new things.

magkaiba naman kasi 'yung learning new concepts, movements, and ideas sa learning how to execute them just like the dancers in their early 20's! the first is learning to receive while the second is learning to give... your mind and body shouldn't stop from receiving, learning everything while you can.

as an artist, as creators, our role is to take it all in and make these pieces a part of us... because everything that we create are fragments of the things we have collected so far in this life.

and that ability to create, my friends, it gets better and better with age.
