Everything has been so...exciting...lately. Everything's changing. It's like life is finally beginning.
I've found my craft and have recieved nothing but praise for it so far. I am a singer, and an actress, and I know that's what I was meant to be. I'm completely aware of the sacrifices and chances involved in show business (both my parents are professionals). That doesn't matter to me. Fame or money are so trivial when you really discover the power of the stage. As long as I'm performing, anywherre, I'll be happy. I can't stand those people who sit down one day and just decide "I'm gonna be a movie star when I grow up." Then they spend their "preparation" working on the outside...it's all about image and fame to them. But even some of the most famous actors aren't all about image. So much of it is so deep, and a lot of these people have come from nothing and amounted to something incredible with nothing more than the dream in their heart. That's the way to do it. That's the way I'm doing it.
The funny thing is, I'm pretty well-off...and my dad is somewhat of a celebrity so I suppose if I truly wanted to, I could approach show business from that angle. Working my way up the very outer surface without even beginning to think about what lies deep inside.
My sudden discover of, well, "myself" is not the only exciting thing that has surfaced lately. My brother made it into his college of choice (an awesome school...I'm so proud of him, he's brilliant and he's really gonna make it somewhere.)
Everything just seems to be coming together. Rumor has it I might even be asked to the junior prom by this guy I know...which is pretty big news for a sophomore who's never had a boyfriend or even danced with a guy.
Life is good. :)
Yet something is missing...I just feel like...there's more out there and I have to find it. But all the positive stuff that has been happenining only encourages me to go out and reach to every outer corner and find all there is to find, see all there is to see...be the most amazing thing I can possibly be.
I gotta go dance...I love this song. ;-)
