To flog an already dying analogy, dancing and fighting are incredibly similar. One person has to submit to the other at some point in time. In dancing, one person may take the lead right from the start and dictate the way the dance will go. If you've ever tried to lead when your dance partner is trying to lead, you'll see how dancing is like a fight!
Ah, well the point I'm getting at is that we are the only ones that can lead our lives. I want to lead my life! These things like anxiety, panic, and depression are really not the core of me. If they aren't me, then why should they lead my life? They shouldn't of course.
I'd be lying if I said there weren't times where they do lead. That's when I have to step up though and take the lead back. No, it isn't always easy. Right at this moment it isn't easy. But I'm doing it.
I have a feeling that this post will be part of my thoughts as I'm dancing with my sweetie at our wedding. She's definitely one who likes to lead the dance, which is good because I suck at dancing! But I'll know that by leading the dance of my life, that I made it to the point where I can dance with my wife.
That was kind of poetic. LOL! Thinking of you all and wishing the best for you in your dance or fight.
