i wish i lived in a tiny town.. where no one would amount to much.
that sounds strange.. but living in chicago, i'm surrounded by successful people and it makes me feel incompetent.
plus, i want broadway.
i need broadway.
i daydream about broadway when people all around me are trying to capture my attention.
broadway is me.
well, that 's a wee bit exaggerated seeing as i'm not all that talented.
but i want to try.
i'll practice.
next year, i want to be ms. hannigan in annie.
but i'm afraid of not getting the part.
ms. hannigan can't have starry eyes like i do.
that's annie.
and by no means am i annie.
so i need to control my eyes.
that sounds so ridiculous.
today we had an hour of school.
and then it was over.
i didn't say bye to everyone i wanted to.
i didn't even see a lot of people.
several realizations came crashing towards me at once.
and you know what?
it sucked.
but my hopes and dreams have to help me through this.
all summer i'll practice..
i want this.
i want people to take me seriously.
and maybe i'll buy some funky clothes.
so people notice me.
whatever.
i'll deal.
urgh.
i don't know what i'm talking about.

Chicago?
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm coming to you on July 10th (you as in Chicago!)
You know what, don't let anything make you feel like you reach your dreams. You can, people reach their dreams everyday. The only people who don't are the ones who are a) weak or give up b) do something stupid like drugs to stop them.
Keep pursuing it, and it will happen.
& Always want it, more then anything. Because if you want it bad enough, god will bless it upon you.
peace & love

Never take 'no' for an answer and never let people bring you down.
