Usually every year I participate in a semi-annual dance recital that my studio holds. However, between track practice and schoolwork I haven’t been taking as many dance classes. So sadly, I’m not going to dance in a performance this summer. On the other hand, I have realized that without the endless rehearsals that usually come with performing I have more time on my hands than I usually do around this time of the year.

And it’s great.

Okay, I am a little ashamed to say that since I supposedly love to dance, but five hours or more of rehearsals is just not fun…ever. At least for me it isn’t.

Anyway, I am in a sort of dilemna. One of my best friends likes this guy who’s a good friend of ours. He also happens to be extremely affectionate and flirtatious towards his girl friends. Every time he does something to me in front of my best friend I always feel guilty. I don’t like him in that way, but I still can’t help but feel like I’m betraying her in some way. Wow, that sounds dramatic. It really isn’t though. No fights have erupted, no dirty glances have been exchanged, and no heated words have been thrown around. Yes, my friends and I happen to be very mellow people, but I still feel guilty.

And even though it’s still a day early…Happy Mother’s Day! Mothers come in all different forms, but they should all be appreciated.
