Perspective Matters!

So, apparently, I'm not supposed to post anything about Killian's workshop, so all I will say is that I LOVE it! I like the work we do and the people I do it with. And the other thing is that Hollywood is getting smaller and smaller. It is happening more often that someone I see did a webseries with this other friend or yeah, we both know someone else and that's fun. I like how the world gets smaller the longer you live.

Then I went to see Last Day of School and Convoy at UCB. It's always fun to re-connect with my ucb friends.It still amazes me at how clever and fast the teams are, well, I suppose after 12 years that's to be expected haha.  I'm forming a little community and that's helpful. Somehow it makes me feel as if I'm getting somewhere.

Did dinner theatre again as well. I feel like a regular now and that's exciting.

Most importantly, I met with my friends from San Diego. The friends I've had for eight years and counting, the ones that have been through it all with me, gosh how I miss them. Anyway, I was venting about my impatience about my career and where I wanted to be compared to where I was. A lot of them are in the same place. All our college friends have fancy titles on linked- in and facebook and what not to hide the fact that we are ALL still trying to figure it out. That's true. Because I suppose it sounds cool when I say, "yeah, I'm an actress living in LA doing dinner theatre and improv and on camera classes, hanging out at the chic bars and meeting all kinds of interesting people." When I look at it that way, I suppose it doesn't sound so bad... On the beach to my friends I said, "but, you know... it's all gonna work out" very sarcastically and bitterly, they laughed. But, I thought, "what if I said that to myself, but I really did believe it?" So I tried. "It's all gonna be okay," I said reassuringly to myself as I would have said it to someone else reaching for affirmation.And then, the funniest thing happened, I believed me. Funny. Anyway, life is what it is and things will come. I may not feel 100 percent grateful all the time, but I can go through the motions of being aware of my blessings and I honestly think that helps... a lot. That's exactly what I needed; an attitude adjustment.
