Life Parallels Art and Signs ARE Everywhere

First of all.....fuck you for trying to make me feel shitty about myself! Said by Tami, the role I just played and now by the angry girl inside of me who just had her ego bruise by a boy, in a man's body. The devil card followed by the 2 of cups reversed with the page of cups attached, and ending with the Empress reversed...need to turn that one around. But pretty dead on.......not to mention the appearance of Hawks, rabbits, crows, and coyotes. major symbolism and warning of what was to come......yes i fucking said it! Deal with it!

It's been like ten years since my last confess...I mean blog. Ironically I started it right before auditioning for Danger of Being known by Steven Connell, and right before I met this boy. My character in the play blogs because that's her way of suppressing what she really wants to say. And this boy, who I kept hush hush about....mostly cause I thought it might be too good to be true, which he turned out to be, tricked me into thinking everything was fine by repressing his feelings, like Tami, or not saying what he wants like Paul (another character) his passive way of controlling his heart for not getting involved so he doesn't get hurt but in doing so hurts others, in this case, me. I'm remembering now I was vaguely warned about this. Yet another Mr. Almost perfect to add to the belt notch eh? "Boooo, So fucking disappointing" (Sarah again danger of being known)

I'm telling ya, it was a magical play, and people were changed seeing it, and I'd like to think I was, being in it. And besides the amount of conversations and revelations I shared with the "wonderful" man that I adored for a month and the weekends in Ojai that filled me with nature, bliss and gratitude, the new friends and peers I made, and the lives that were changed, I'm back home after a full moon that brought the hidden to light "The moon sees all" (yet another reference from Danger)Brought me to meet the author of a Faery book that I always wanted to pose for-which I will be, got more money than I expected for a choreography job I'll be doing in April, Got more casting work, legitimized myself as a business at the bank, and on the hunt for a new apartment. (suddenly I don't feel so compelled to stay near Venice)

Even with the good, I'm also fighting an emptiness of coming off a project and giving my heart away needlessly. I guess its never needless, there is always purpose, just not exactly sure yet why, could be as simple as being brief mirrors for each other, like the play was for so many people. But it felt bigger somehow. I also haven't been keeping up with dancing since doing the play another irony as Tami always wanted to be a dancer. But i will be back to gogo by friday. My ego will need the attention!

I'm mixed up at the moment, feeling a little bit like I've been living pieces of all these characters lives, Margret-control to letting go, Sarah's being stuck in the past to freeing herself, Jesse's disconnection to coming back into her body & art, Paul not speaking to standing his ground, Tami being invisible to dancing for the world to see, and Kim LIVING and "DYING" but leaving a peiece of herself with those she came into contact with. I'm not signing up for superficial connection so if that's what you want or need go elsewhere! A fish died tonight in my presence, after the "death" of the show and my whirlwind romance, its interesting that in a week or so I come full circle where Death started for my last year, my transformation into being the butterfly that the LOVE of my Life will sing to me about. I'm glad that the night out dancing with old people happened for me at 30 as opposed to Tami at 17. haha I'm excited to see the screening of my film LEADING LADIES this month!

Follow your heart it won't ever steer you wrong, it might just cause detours once in a while. And here's to finding someone who loves you exactly the way you are!

BE LOVE ALWAYS and BE IN YOUR GRATITUDE! (especially when you want to rip someones face off)

*Me*

  1. inside the lessons of all these other characters, remember momo, and how she had your heart and conviction and confidence. remember how you imbued her with maturity, fearlessness and generosity. remember how easy you are to love.
