I am jealous of anyone who can make other people care so much.
Just because a person is beautiful doesn’t mean there’s no soul beneath. Doesn’t mean that person hasn’t suffered like everyone else, doesn’t mean they don’t hope to still be a good human being in an awful world.
But I guess you don’t see the planets when you’re staring at the sun. You just get blinded.
When it comes to true dance, it’s not about how you look, it’s all about the joy you feel.
