roles

dear diary,

getting to know more about the people, i find that they are accomplished in so many ways other than the tango. people who have spent decades becoming experts in their fields. and then, they discover this unforgiving art, a pursuit that demands everything from them. and then, once in a while, it rewards them with a peek of delicious, spiritual, and sensuous moments that they beforehand rarely, if ever, experienced.

some leave, not wanting to suffer from the apprenticeship, again.

some stay, but question daily, their sanity. for why would they want to subject themselves the humiliation of the rejections, of seeing others preferred over them, of waiting to be invited...

heaven, or hell?

to stay, or to walk away?
