Finally Back!

Wow. I haven't written here in a very long time. I kinda forgot I had a blog to be honest, haha. Oh well. I'm finally back.

Here's a theatre update:

-I wrapped up a show called An Opera House Christmas Carol a couple weeks ago. It was a parody musical of Dicken's classic tale, A Christmas Carol. I was the Ghost Of The Opera House Future which was a lot of fun. I got to have turquoise hair and everything

-Recently I submitted a video of me as Belle in Beauty & The Beast as a job application. Well, I got the job and will be moving to the Houston, Texas area the end of this month. It's at a really cool place and I will also have the opportunity to apply to work at other theatre groups as well. As well as have a meeting with an agent. So it seems like a little bit of my future is finally falling into place. I would have none of this if it wasn't for my amazing mother in law who talked me up to the owners of this place I'll be working at. I'm very excited because I will have so many great opportunities. I trust that this is God's plan and that whatever happens is for a reason..so I'm very happy and optimistic. And no matter what I will stay that way.

Summer Of Love

This summer has been a great one. I married my soul mate on July 20. We had a beautiful, nerdy wedding. I mean, it was so nerdy that the wedding party walked down the aisle to music from Lost, Roy & I's first dance was "Under Your Spell" from the Buffy musical episode, and we all danced to "Shake A Booty" by Hank Green & "Don't Unplug Me" by All Caps. I know...we are awesome.

Anyway, another great thing about this summer was that I let go of two people that I really should have let go of years ago. I had two friends who were the most toxic people you will ever meet. I did things I was not proud of just because I wanted them to like me more. They called me fat, friendless, and annoying behind my back even when I decided to become friends with them out of pure kindness on my part. They brought me down so many times and that's not what friends are supposed to do. Friends are supposed to lift you up, cheer you up when you are sad, care about your life, and be honest with you. They are not supposed to be negative all of the time and say cruel things about behind your back. Oh, and they also are not supposed to start horrible rumors about your brother...but that's a different story. Anyway, the point I'm making is that I put up with them for way longer than I should have. I give too many second chances and I trust too easily. I know that being trusting and giving second chances are good, admirable qualities...but sometimes people just don't deserve second chances..and you just have to accept that. But everything is fine because I cut them off completely and life is pretty great. I have a way higher self-esteem nowadays and have realized that by focusing on them..I was cutting myself off from a lot of people who actually genuinely care about me and that is not okay. So now I have reconnected with a lot of wonderful people and life is just dandy.

I don't know what made me want to blog about all of this because it's been months since I said bye bye to them. But I guess since summer is now over..it was a good idea to reflect on the events of the summer. Because reflecting on the past always makes the present clearer & also makes you learn a lot.

At the end of my blog posts I am now going to say how many youtube subscribers I have and what book I am currently reading. Woot!
