I have only taken two semesters of an acting class and been in one play (supporting role) but the response and feedback I’ve received has been stunning, and my head is spinning from how much the local theater community has embraced me. I don’t want to get ahead of myself but I feel really good about this. My acting teacher says I’m a rockstar, my peers always tell me I’m a hard act to follow, everyone is telling me how talented and a pleasure to work with I am, and I can genuinely feel myself being really good at this, I’ve shocked myself. It’s always been my goal to do something in the arts, now that something is coming together I am in disbelief. I’m so scared of it all falling apart before I even get started though. I’ve got it in my head that I can go far with this as a career and I don’t know how naive that is.

Right now I guess the plan is to get more theatre experience in my city, build a resume and reputation, and then do the good ole-pack up my stuff and be a struggling artist in Los Angeles. I may be crazy but I think I can do something with this. I’ve never felt so popular and cherished in my life, so maybe I’m getting a big head about it but I genuinely so so so love the craft and I don’t care if I have to struggle, damn I just want to do it.
