Here is a headline from the NYT Cooking newsletter this morning that felt apropos:
Not sure what to write about right now. Honestly, I’m a little embarrassed that I’ve put so much of my neuroses and journaling on the internet. Where else would it live? Am I recycling my own by airing it for others? Will I get in trouble for having thoughts? (You see a trend? I’m still unsure of what I’m doing.) Working on not being a scaredy-cat, folks! Also, what if I share my guts and it turns out that I’m just a bad person? Work hard at not being one, but I’m still human, and what might you glean from this overshare?
So, here are some photos from the past few days. Katherine’s boyfriend’s little sis went on as the female lead in BEAUTIFUL NOISE last night at the Fox, and I was surprised to enjoy it as much as I did. It was such a clearly nice theatrical experience - made me want to attend more theatre - I do love live theatre.
In some of my previous roles I got to research and support the story on stage from a marketing angle, and that was really fun. I felt like a beam - a pillar - helping to hold up the world being built. If I could do marketing for a theatre on a hybrid schedule, get paid enough to cover my bills and save a little, and still be allowed to let my comedy freak flag fly, I think I could be happy. I am happy. I would like to figure my career out, but I suppose I already am. I mean, I’ve done that job and I ran from it. This is why the work on perspective and slowing down during this season.
Shouting my worth doesn’t seem to accomplish anything. Embodying it; Being - this counts for something.
Remember to keep that inner peace, and belief in yourself. I love you.
