Imagine you buy a pair of tap shoes.
They're snug, and you've never taken lessons, but you love them.
You love the music you make in them.
Your tap phase ends.
You put the shoes in a box in the attic.
You grow up. You have a family. Years pass.
One day, you hear tapping coming from a nearby room.
Your kid has found your tap shoes.
And he SOARS.
Oh, the music he makes.
The fit is not snug. It's perfect.
And something inside you shifts and you realize,
oh, that's why you got the shoes, and that's why you saved them.
Anyway.
That's the closest I can get to how it feels watching @ARamosofficial play Usnavi.
