Let it go

by

I want to hold all this freakin stress on my back and it is ridiculous. At this point, it is a bad habit. I have calmed down a lot in the past year, but now when I feel even a little anxious about my career, I have to really focus on letting it go. I want everything and I want it now. The concept of patience is actually a bit on the frustrating side. I don’t want to wait. I am not sitting quietly, true, but we are talking about my dreams. This career in musical theatre means so much to me. When I say “let it go,” I don’t mean let go of my dreams. Absolutely not! What I am referring to is letting go of the unnecessary tension. My shoulders feel like if they don’t hike up, there is a loss of control. I am doing the best I can and my “best” is only getting better. What more could I ask for? I know I am not alone on this strong passion for theatre. When the love for something is so strong, I just care … now I am going to care CALMLY.
