Persistence

There really is something to be said about persistence.

Life has been a maze lately. I entered this labyrinth by choice and ever since I took the first steps into this place I knew the troubles that would ensue.
Fights.
Laughs.
Struggles.
Loves.
I get so caught up in life.
LIFE.
I love my family, friends, and everything else that comes along in this world.
It is SO HARD trying to find the balance though.
I said some words the other day that I never thought I would ever say.
I HATE THEATRE.
I am sorry but WHAT THE HECK! I got so involved in theatre that I forgot why I even do it! How sad is that. Some of you may think "Well if you do theatre for a living you will have to be that involved." I think not. I let it overtake my life to the point that I forgot about family. Ignored friends that didn't deserve to be treated that way, and COMPLETELY deleted my standards from life.
How do you find a healthy balance?
How do you maintain your passion but retain your sanity?
I have been really lonely lately. I have supporting family and loving friends. What more can I ask for?
It is what it is, is what it is. Right? I am almost 18. I feel like I have nothing in my life that I can be like really proud of, you know? I know that one day I will meet the girl of my dreams and get married and have kids and be happy but what about now?
I just want something normal? Right? I want to do theatre for the rest of my life. I want to one day teach and share my talent with anyone and everyone who will let me.
How do I do that though? I am starting to blabber so I am off.
Until next time.
