What Gets Me Up When I Am Down

by

This is what gets me up when I am down.

This song is my savior. I swear. I listen to the lyrics and it puts my mind in a much better spot. It makes me feel like I am not alone for being such a dreamer. Though I have not made it to the “big time,” I know I am living my dream. Everyday I work towards my goal to be the star on a huge broadway stage. Everyday I imagine a part of how my life will be when I get where I want. Everyday the dream becomes more vivid and my heart grasps onto the dream more tightly. Why not continue to reach for the stars? I am 27 years old and my heart still beats for the stage. My voice still longs to be heard in front of millions of people. The spotlight is so clear when I close my eyes. It gets to me.

Some people get annoyed by others who only talk about their life in the arts. But when a passion is so huge, how can a person help his/herself? I feel lucky to actually have such a strong passion for something.
