Eight years ago standing near a large lawn near a college campus, a song blared with heavy drumbeats and catchy melody. In the distance, I spotted figures moving up and down. I started nodding my head with the beat. Looking at my friend, I said, “I want to dance!”

She frowned at the music.

I wish at that moment that I lost myself and danced. Danced like nobody was watching. But instead, I stood solemnly with her. Perhaps she saw noise. I saw joy, and then felt disappointment as I stood there.
