Here's To Going For It
A couple of weeks ago I posted about how I didn't want to do the musical because I was embarrassed of how dumb it made me look. I am so happy to say that I got over it and gave it my all-- even if it resulted in people making fun of me (although, I did have some people tell me I was a crowd favorite). And so even though I didn't have a huge part (thank God) I did the best I could and I had a freaking blast!
The preparation for this show might have sucked a lot but in the end it wound up to be worth it. Going from work to practice every single night really cramped my social life, but eventually I accepted that hanging out with my musical buds was my social life, even when they were jerks. When you spend that much time with people and you're working towards a common goal, it's easy to become a mini-family in a way. I can honestly say that I will miss spending time with these people. I thought I would be excited about the show coming to an end, but I'm actually pretty bummed about losing time with some of my favorite people. I love my musical friends because we all understand each other and are able to put aside our personal lives, for the most part, and just have fun. These are some of the coolest people I know and I consider myself lucky to have spent a solid month putting a show together with them.
Not only did I have a blast putting the show together, but like I said before, performing was so much fun! Putting it all out on the stage was an awesome experience. And even though I was sweating like crazy, I worked my ass off to give people what they came for. I'm glad I got over myself because I think it made the show a lot more fun for me.
I wish I could get over myself all of the time. Think of how much better our world would be if we were all willing to put everything out there all the time. I guess people don't do that because they're scared. At least I know that's my issue. I'm scared of failure, embarrassment, hurting others and getting shot down. Sometimes I like to think about how much easier my life would be if it was a movie and I could just put everything out there all the time but still know that there is a happy ending somewhere in sight. Even though it would be easier for people to simply say what it is on their mind, I understand how it could be difficult because of the underlying need we have to keep others content and happy.
Anyways, I'm so blessed I got to be in the show, spend time with my friends and look absolutely ridiculous while doing it. I guess the whole point of this is to make us think about how much better our lives could be if we stopped being scared, if we just went for it all the time. I know it seems terrifying but maybe, just maybe, it could work out in our favor.
