Freedom

That wonderful moment when you feel more free than you ever have, and worries you held on too just melt away. The feeling of invincibility and self worth is incredible!

Where would I be...

Sometime I wonder where I would be without the driving force that is theater. If I had never stumbled into it, where would I be and what would I be doing. I truly love acting (in all it's mediums) more than anything. I love the process- from meeting your cast and doing table reads to your first full dress tech and final show. My heart has been really heavy lately, because as a second semester senior I am currently about to open my last show at my high school. It's tough, to say the least. It's so tough, I think, because of the wonderful people who also happened into theater that you get to meet and work with and who make the process that much more special. I really need to not be so nostalgic, but as much as second semester senior year is exciting, and as much as I am ready to get out, I will miss this theater program (and the people in it) so, so, so much. BUT, it's not done yet. So I can't get ahead of myself! I'm looking forward to a week of tech and an exciting weekend of shows.

If any of you guys happen to be reading this- I love you! Let's kick butt this week.

Success

How is success measured? Is it by fame? fortune? How you feel on the inside, or the opinions of others?

Walls

Walls,

Protect me,

Seal me in tight,

Away from the worries of the world,

Your icy stones touch my cheek,

Strangely comforting.

I'm blind in the dark,

But safe from rays that burn,

Make me unbreakable,

So that if I reach out to touch,

I can't be hurt,

Encased here,

I lie like a butterfly in her cocoon.

Communication

It's incredibly ironic when your phone turns into the thing that prevents you from communicating with people. Don't get me wrong, my phone and I are very close (as evident of the photo below). But it would be great if this temperamental beast would get its act together and let me receive and send messages accordingly. You have one job, phone, and right now you are failing miserably.

Grateful

We're often so blinded by our perception of what love is suppose to look like that we miss the love that is already around us. The love of friends and family- the people who touch us everyday. Feeling especially grateful for the wonderful people in my life today. 

"I am my own invention."- wonderland the musical

I am a weapon of mass creation

The world is my canvas

My body is my instrument

Innovation is the name of my game

With every step I take

With every thought I think

My story continues to be written

Oh, the places you'll go.

I'm torn with each new place
And I wonder:
Will I find the perfect place for me?
Will the choice be automatically made for me?
And in the end... Where will I go?
