I'm Killing Myself Slowly

I think the funny part about loving your art and wanting to do it as your livelihood is just the amount of sacrifice and pain that also go into it.

I don't know any business majors who have had to go to the ER for their major. Or suffered minor concussions.

I fell the other day during a Faculty Dance Showing for all the tech theater people and hit my head on the floor. I'm fine but after that I kind of stepped back and asked myself, "Do I really want to do this all my life?"

I mean, I love dance. I really do. I can't imagine my life without it, but I just want to do something else. I feel like I don't have time to just DO something else. I was in a musical once (before I got kicked out of school, long story), and I had to sacrifice dance in order to do that. Lucky for me, it was near Nutcracker season, so I was able to have something else to fill my time, but for once, I was in a role that didn't really require dancing. I was just acting. So I don't know. Maybe next semester, I'll take a break and just DO SOMETHING ELSE.

It's near the end and it's starting to get to me.
