Good morning Blogland. After the snow and ice of last week here in Atlanta, I spent the weekend getting back on the audition track. I got a callback for a second audition on January 29. Well, I take supporting roles and minor stuff because...are you ready for this? I am afraid of success.
I used to think I was afraid of failing, but I am afraid of exceeding beyond measure. To be honest, I don't know if I want to give up a 9-5 for a dream. I am too old to still be "looking for myself". *sigh* I am excited about the opportunities but afraid to commit to anything that will change the way I "do business as usual". 
I know, I often say "take a chance" "step out on faith" but in reality right now I'm thinking "Don't be no fool." I am listening for God to tell me which way to go and I swear to Bob He has not said "Girl quit yo' job" 
Maybe it's just me but I like little things like food and shelter, so until then I will be your friendly neighborhood extra who may or may not even get credited in the billing but I am having fun doing what I do. 
Make it a great Thursday, Blogland.
Hey girl!! I loved this post. It reminds me soooo much of me! How did you get roles?? Do you have an agent? I've always wanted to act! Moreso drama roles. I have sooo much stuff from my past..I can cry and get emtional on the spot! lol. I love what you are doing and keep at it! We are always taught to get a good education, so that we can get a good job working for someone else and making their dreams come true. Thats some BULL!! Do your thing girl! I'm in atl and I would love to support you in whatever you are doing! Invite me to your next show!! I would love to come!
ReplyDeletePS..One thing I often quote is
People are afraid of the unknown...they prefer a struggle that is more familiar. Do NOT let you fear grow bigger than your FAITH!!
Hope to hear from you soon!!
