Catharsis

I was bored today so I took Frank for a two hour drive in a blizzard to try and clear my head. One thing lead to another and, for some reason, I ended up thinking about catharsis, and certain cathartic moments I've experienced in my life...

Ahimè. Replace the Titanic bit with...Sunset Boulevard, perhaps?, replace Phantom of the Opera with Les Miserables, and "senior in high school" in Rent with either "sophomore" or "junior," and I could've made this post.

And yes...the trouble with the lack of understanding from others can get frustrating. It also often comes from non-theatre-goers. Performance, given or seen, is the purest form of happiness I can understand; they override my memories, give me more joy than I can hope for with other experiences. Walking out of a theatre, if someone were to shoot me, I'd die happy and happily. I can relate to the characters more so to any person I know in this world; the shows make me feel that whatever happens when I leave the theatre, I will be able to be at peace with myself, at least for a time.

It's not because I'm lazy or don't want to work or am just going through a phase, doing the "cool" thing. (Ha. Some of these people really should try being a musician.) These are things that have made me who I am. It's what I do. I need to be able to do this someday.

Someone who understands : )
I've always been under the impression that if you want something enough, and are willing to do everything and anything to do it, then, eventually, it will happen.
As of right now that is just nothing but hearsay/ borderline delusion to me... still, it's encouraging, not going to lie haha.
Thank you for your thoughts though, I appreciate it.
