The universe is shaped exactly like the earth, if you go straight long enough you endupwhereyouwere
Fiscal years, school years, concert seasons...they all start in late August or early September, so for all intents and purposes, this is the beginning of the year for me.
I feel, for the first time ever since high school maybe, calm, centered, refreshed and ready going in, minus the fact that I'm sad that I don't get Mondays off any more. I've finished up all of my preparations and communications, all projects are in some state of managed chaos, and I'm not. taking. any. auditions. Not until I'm settled. The Kenosha one will be really good for me, I think, because I get to choose my repertoire and it really seems pretty low key. That will be a nice one to cut my teeth on. I can try out all of the things I learned last year. I can try letting go of the results, letting go of the bullshit...
This year, I will pace myself. I can have everything I've always wanted, but not all at the same time.
Chaos WILL ensue. I need to stop thinking I can stop the chaos. And anyway, do I really want to? Periods of calm make me just as agitated as really, really stressful periods.
You can't stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf.
Here's to a year of learning how to surf.
