Miracle Project | Defining Rhythm Urban Dance Competition 2013

*Long and personal post warning*

I’m gonna relate this to my nursing life, because this is the only way I know how. To pass an exam I need at 77 or higher. And getting a 77 is the best thing that could ever happen. ever. Not a 100 or a 99.9, a 77. Because  in my mind that makes me feel successful no matter what. Yeah other people are smarter and get higher grades. and it would be unbelievable if i got a 99. amazing! but unbelievable. But lets not get ahead of ourselves. if the result shows that I’m good enough, well there ya go. 

Performing after 2 years at a competition like this gives me that exact feeling. Perfoming is like passing. It’s not like we were the best, but we were good enough. Its not a 98,99,or 100. but it sure feels like it.

MP started out SO minuscule, and we all have LIFE to blame for not being consistent with performing and practicing. But when we DO get together and put something like that on stage is not just good enough, its one of the best feelings ever. 

Seeing our name on that line-up again was so nostalgic and motivating that whatever we were gonna give to people was gonna be beautiful. and it was. Most people can point out ATLEAST 10 things that we did up there because OMG NEWSFLASH. WE’RE NOT PERFECT!! 
I DONT CARE. IF WE WIN 2ND, 3RD, 11TH, -100TH. SHIT, I WOULDVE BEEN MORE THAN HAPPY IF WE DIDNT EVEN COMPETE. 

I wanna clarify something to the general public if I may. We didn’t do this to win. We went up there to prove a point that we A) are not a charity. and B) we are a force to be reckoned with. This is Miracle Project. Like it or not..

Some of us may not perform sometimes, and some of us have school and work and LIFE to worry about. But that doesn’t deny the fact that when we do get up there, its gonna go fucking down. We don’t need a trophy to tell us that we killed it. We don’t need other people trying to put us down like we fell off and we can’t get back up on this thing. 

I love dance. I don’t even know what I would be doing without it. Studying? that’s so hilarious. 
I cannot even fathom how good it felt to be up there, and how even more amazing it felt to gain the support of others that we seriously thought doubted us. and if you still do, fuck you. Fuck so you very much because you are seriously out numbered. or, thank you? because haters make me feel like we’re doing something right. 

Thank you ladies for executing my opening piece with perfection. I hate you bitches..
