The Rising

Working Actress

I can officially, officially call myself a "working actress." I have to keep the details mum for a bit longer but on cloud nine. All I've ever wanted, ever is to act. And the possibility of being able to sustain and make a living as a working actor alone is the icing on the cake. I am one step closer to that dream.

It's Been Awhile

Hi. I wish I could sum up the last couple of years in a single blog post. The impossible. Every once in a while Ill come and peruse my archives here, look for a poem, a picture, a memory. This was my Twitter, in more than 140 characters for a long time. My musings, my stream of consciousness. I shared my thoughts, my struggles, my passions, my life in a nutshell. It was an outlet during a very lost period of my life. I was in a strange place. In a relationship that I was disconnected from, feeling like a failure due to school, the failed relationship, was losing my family, was losing myself. So I ran. As I usually do I suppose. This time I had to go to find myself, one of the biggest cliches I know. But here I am. Not found, I don't think any of us ever are. It's a journey, daily. We are constantly changing, rediscovering ourself and the world around us. The world is ever evolving. Especially as I'm getting older, the more I realize that nothing we've been "taught" is truth. But that's another blog. The past few have been a beautiful journey. Not without its dark days, it's usually bad before it gets good. But I've come to appreciate the storm. I'm in a good place. Finally. I still have tons of work to do. But I'm happy with the woman I'm becoming. I'm happy with where my life is and learning to embrace the moment. I spent too long trying to follow this script, this perfect story I was supposed to have. Once I let go, I let go.
