Week 438: The Calm Before the Imaginary Storm

Weekly Written Review 

Audition wise, it's been slow. The slowness is in perfect timing since auditions the week before got me fired up to do some more. Sarcasm aside, most days this week were dull. My spirit was intact but it wasn't until hump day that I realized that the excitement I'm yearning for currently doesn't exist in the physical world. I found joy in the imaginary world. During the last decade, I've had an abundance of life-changing opportunities come my way. After fulfilling the requirements and submitting myself, my imagination would run wild. Often times those opportunities required relocating and it challenged me to reevaluate my whole situation. Every probable image, perspective, and possibly would flow throughout my mind and I always enjoyed it. Over time, I forced my mind not to drift into the world of fantasy. The disappointment became overbearing. The imaginary frontier began in Florida and transitioned to LA. I had many moments in LA that allowed my mind to fly free, but after a while, I had to activate imagination control. It was time to shut it down. It became easier to mentally move on when I had a load of auditions to complete. 

Now it's a new year, things are slow and I had an impressively cool opportunity come my way this week. I didn't even have to memorize any lines. All I had to do was send off a five-minute clip of funny sketches. I really enjoyed my final project. I've lost track of how many times I watched the video over again. It's a short compilation of some of my best work. Watching it brought me joy. When it was time for bed, I removed the shackles from my head and gave my imagination full access to go where every it desired. Who cares if I don't get the role. In my mind, I booked it and I enjoyed every single moment of the experience. Allowing myself to envision a positive outcome was actually really rewarding. My mind took me on an adventure and I honestly can't wait to blast off again.
