I
actually laughed out loud when I came across this quote from the White Queen.
I was trying to figure out what I could possible tell you about this week
because for me it's been a rather relax one. But thinking about it,
that's not true at all! We filmed last Sunday, had another production
meeting for the feature film, plus class, auditions, work and oh not to mention
Disneyland...I've actually been pretty busy!
It's
so funny how you can learn to manage so many things at once that it feels like
you're not doing much of anything at all. I do feel like in my life I
have to keep running as fast as I can to maintain where I am. That's the
business out here, constantly running, moving and staying ahead of the curve.
So much so that staying on the curve feels like you're taking it easy.
But of course, as the White Queen points out, if you want to get anywhere
you have to run twice as fast. And it's so hard!
I
mean think about it, in order to get anywhere you basically have to push harder
than you are physically able to do. It's a wonder that everyone out here
doesn't give up because it really takes a lot out of you. You have to
always stay positive and creative and be super resourceful (because there's no
money in it until you book something) all the while taking constant criticism
and rejection. Thank God for God! Seriously! I must be
absolutely insane to keep wanting to do this...but I do! I love the
challenge. I love making people smile and laugh! And it takes a lot
of my strength to run twice as fast to get there! How do you get strength
when you have none to go on..."He gives strength to the weary and
increases the power of the weak" Isaiah 40:29. Yep. Yep.
So
I'm out to keep running. Work, class and rehearsal tonight, three meetings and a workshop tomorrow...maybe
somewhere I'll squeeze in a social life. Ha ha!
Love
you!!
Kimberly
