Strangely enough

So possibly through some sort of madness, or some sort of inspiration *the two go hand in hand as you know* I have decided to re-enter the blogosphere.

a few things.

Lately I've been re-examining what my creative output should be. I have been struggling with this since I was a pre-teen. I sit and listen to records and think about that "feeling". Musicians would know what I'm talking about. It's that feeling where you know that what you're doing has the same effect on you as it does on the person who listens to it. Whether that be by voice or by music. When someone can feel passion oozing out of the speakers, you know what you are doing has meaning. I haven't felt this in a really long time and I just feel like I'm running in place.

then there's theater.

Hello, old friend. It's been a while hasn't it?

Yes, it's been 10 years since I have acted on stage. Which is just completely ludicrous to me considering how much it has always meant to me.

Basically where I'm at in my life, I'm starting to lose my own say in how these two things are able to be accomplished. But then again being this close to the downward slide, aren't we all losing our own say?

I'm honestly sick of people judging everyone based on such inconsequential things.

There are points in your life where you will change. Times when you'll reflect and regret. Times when you fear what's coming up.

Which brings me to the point. With everyone changing so much in their lives, what good is it to judge the current? I mean we're all guilty of it. But it's the action of going through your head upon first glance that is so disgustingly inhumane.


and then there are those who will constantly be my Gibraltars.

I have a friend who lives for everything Broadway. He breathes it, he sleeps it and yes to finish the common saying he eats it. I doubt very seriously my life would be as wonderful as it is without him in it. In fact I know it wouldn't.

Yet, there are those out there who would judge him, either overtly or covertly.

And the obvious irony is that he wants nothing but the best for most people.

I was at a local eating establishment a couple of days ago and an older couple sat across the room from him but out of his view. It seemed to be like they should be paying admission to compensate for the amount of staring these people did. And their eyes. You could hear the words coming out like "oh my God, why does God let people like that exist" or another popular one "they should just ship all them people off because they're so evil". It is because of these people that I will always have doubts as humanity as a whole and could also very well explain why I cry when people do genuinely nice things for each other. *fictional or factual*

It was like you were reading my mind. I can completely relate to the concept of feeling like you are "running in place". I think creatives like us are always reaching for something that "feeling" you described. I'm not sure others can really understand this, they tend to go through life completely unaware of this feeling and yet those who don't understand it are usually much more content with the everyday activities of life. Glad to hear I am not the only one who feels this way.
