I’m acting and the world really is my stage. It’s just sometimes I’d really like to be “real”. Always pretending that what interests you interests M-E can be quite daunting since many an activity makes my eyes get heavy. Appearing calm and steady when my pot is boiling is really an actor’s performance that I deserve an Oscar especially since you’re the one boiling my pot. I memorize my lines as an “active listener to the point that I feel as if I’m a broken record. My pretend phase is so good that sometimes I start to believe it. Yes, I love acting but once in awhile being real would give me the standing ovation I need for my “real” heart and soul.
