Sword Dance Bag

I started practicing Chinese sword dance when I was five years old, a skill that has remained with me to this day. This bag used to be my constant companion, one that I carried around almost every single day, filled with memories of joy and laughter. However, at the age of thirteen, I suffered a severe injury, which left me feeling defeated and made me question whether I should continue pursuing my passion for sword dancing due to the intense physical demands it placed on my body. It wasn't until several years later that I realized how much I truly loved sword dance, recognizing it as my favorite art form, surpassing even visual arts and music in terms of my skill level. Expressing myself through movement, performing on stage, brought me a sense of exhilaration and fulfillment, which is why I was so disappointed with myself for allowing fear to hold me back from continuing to pursue this activity that brought me so much happiness. For a period of time, the mere thought of quitting something made me anxious, causing me to hesitate and doubt my abilities. This bag holds a special significance for me, not only because it's become such an integral part of my identity over the years that I can still recall every intricate pattern and detail on its cover, which was lovingly crafted by my mother, but also because it serves as a powerful reminder of one of the most valuable lessons I've learned in life: that even when pursuing our passions requires effort and sacrifice, we should never give up without a fight.
