Personal Legend of Sorts

One day I went and sat on a bench, the echo of the light at my feet. The trees conspiring a magical force around me. I realized I was in love with the world, I had missed the imagination. A ghost was calling my name from beyond time and the laws of physics and suddenly I realized my personal legend.

So recently, after returning from a fantastic acting camp, I have found myself again. And in a world filled with conspiracy and mistrust its easy to lose yourself in the events that get you down. So I was questioning prior to camp, my love of acting. Yes I want to be an actress, I've always wanted to be one ever since I could remember...Performing is magic to me, I'm in another zone in this alternate reality. It really is amazing and I love it. However, social pressures, career pressures and money pressures were obviously making myself not only doubt my ability but question if this really is the path for myself...

But the magic that one of my teachers taught on camp from the book "The Alchemist" and how it can be used as an analogy of life, made me realize. No...this is my path...I'm on the right path...And you know how I know it? You know how you could possibly find yours? Just ask: "Does this make me shine best? Does it make me happy?" And then feel, your body will reply to your answers...I had butterflies in my stomach...It's not the thing that you neeeed or yeeeearrrnnnn for, but simply the thing that makes you happiest. And I've come to concur that performing stage or film, is where I'm happiest. Giving the gift of entertainment through voice, movement and emotions.

There's always going to be someone better...but that still doesn't mean I can't shine as well.
