Do you think people dance to express their happiness and joy, go to parties and clubs and jump on a table when there is a reason to celebrate and be crazy? Those pictures come to our mind quite fast if we think about the expression of happiness, but I reveal something: You have been deceived if you fell for them!
Yes, they are happy people at clubs, no question. But many people dance to get rid of pain, free themselves of the dullness of their lives, overcome heartbreak and self-doubt, and forget rejection, hurt and loss. They go out when their four walls seem threatening and they long for the roaring bass. They go to a club when they can’t stand silence and loneliness gets too heavy. Many tears are shed under the blinking disco lights, and many bottles of booze are drunk only to shut the mind off.
Did you ever notice that many dance songs have happy, upbeat tunes but quite sad lyrics? This is no coincidence. The list would be long, from Dancing on my own by Robin to Nothing Breaks Like a Heart by Miley Cyrus and many more. Don’t fall for what you see! People sometimes dress the brightest, dance the wildest and sing the loudest when they are the saddest.
If you want to know what’s in a person’s heart, talk, don’t judge from what you see!
