Like No One is Watching

(From:here)
Be it your lover, bff from second grade, the sibling you never had, or maybe one you do. I think the best friend you will ever have is the one who will dance with you whenever they get the chance. The one who willing whirls around the living room every time your favorite song comes on the radio, who will get dressed up to take you clubbing on Saturday nights, or fumble through the ballroom dancing classes that you signed up for on a whim (with only a couple complaints).

Dancing with them you can be close without talking, there's something to do that doesn’t involve over-processing when you don't have to. The best thing about finding someone with whom words aren't necessary is that you figure which words actually mean something. Or, maybe when you aren't talking, when every word that comes out of your mouths just angers and hurts, that's ok. Just shut your yap and turn on some music. Focus on moving together rather than whatever was that started the argument. It's a timeout without the loneliness of separate corners.

You can learn all sorts of things about a person when you dance with them. Any control freak tendencies with jump right to the fore, and you quickly figure out whether you love this person enough to let them get away with it or not. I also find that if some one is willing to look goofy (and know it) in the name of fun on the dance floor then they'll have a good sense of humor about everything else in life too.

I'm not saying that you can't have great friends who don't dance. I'm also not saying that you need to run out right now and find a twinkle toes or your life will never be complete. Just that if you do have one then maybe consider adding a few words to your speech next Thanksgiving.
