There are niches for everyone, whether those may be video games, art, music, etc. Everyone has a niche. The thing is, i've found many hobbies, many past-times i love to death, and many times i've been content to where im at however, there has been two things as of recently where i want to shoot for enormous proportions.
The first one being, Dance. I will admit i'm not the greatest dancer after the three years in which i've been serious about it, however! i like to say i can hold my own compared to the next dozen asians who "think" they can dance.. no pun intended. I love it though, i only dislike it when i'm not actually dancing. The movement and.. to be honest, i love having dance skills. It throws everyone off a lot of the time. I dont want to say i use it to show off because i have nothing to show off anyway. However it is rather enjoyable when someone's watching you and you know they're going, "how the hell does he do that?" This seems rather shallow, and it is, however if you dance, give me another reason why you dance OTHER than to show people you got moves. Don't have one? thought so.
Anyway i went off on a tangent, the fact of the matter at hand is, i love dance but i feel as though i'm not 100% passionate about it anymore. I love doing it, i love having fun with it but i dont want to stick to it for any longer. My desire to strive to become the best has died down unfortunately. Maybe because i've always complained and talked about how i hate bullshit with everything. And how i feel left out, however i shouldn't blame anyone but myself cause i dont do shit. So it's no one's fault but my own. Which is why i question myself alot now with dance, i say that i want to do this but my mind wanders off into blue and white mountain tops.. which brings my to my other thing i want to speak about.
Snowboarding, it's something different, i can feel it. It's one of the only times when i've participated in something and thought, you know what, i'm going to be sponsered, i'm going to turn professional, i want to be one of the best. Looking at other hobbies, guitar, graffitti, mma, videogames, and dance, i've never once said to myself "i'm going to be the best, no better than the best at this." It's sad, and look what that brought me, i'm DECENT in guitar, I can fuck noobs up in videogames but still get my ass handed to me from time to time. I'm DECENT on grafitti but i cant do anything other than three letters. And with dance i'm not that bad but i'm not amazing or great. However with snowboarding though, i'm pretty sure it's the fact that my sister is so passionate about it AS WELL AS my brother. After just the third time going to the mountains, i learned how to turn toeside and heelside on regular and brake as well. And so I'm dedicated to learn how to go off of jumps and hills the next time i go out. I will tackle the intermediate course and own shit up in the black areas. I want to win competitions with hardwork and enjoyment with snowboarding. I want to get sponsored. I know that shit sounds high up there but the only reason why it sound high up there is because others dont want that, they want something, well to be frank, I want that. I want to be a mother fracking BEAST with boarding. So beast that i can shred anywhere i go, and anything i go off of. Whether it be Jibbing, grinding, flips, Jumps, Catching Big Air, Or carving down from the fracking top of the mountain, i want to do it all. I want to conquer this. You know what all this want stuff is like played out.
I will.
I will do all that shit.
Maybe i found my niche?
Or maybe not.
All i know is that, i can't stop thinking about snow, i can't stop thinking about how much speed i got when i went on conquest, and how bad i bailed. I will be Beast, i will fck shit up with snowboarding.
