Probably for the best, I want to be as fresh and energized (and fit) as possible for Rigoletto at the Met tomorrow. It's crazy what happens to me internally when I want something SO much. It becomes a struggle to balance enthusiasm and calm, so that my technique doesn't go out the window because my nerves are vibrating against my skin.
I've been thinking a lot about this song by Gotye, "Somebody That I Used to Know." It's having a bit of social media renaissance since I was first introduced to it, but in a weird way, this kooky song has become therapy for me. As much as I'd love to steamroll through the let downs and the occasional sadness, every now and then I have to manage my disappointments, especially with the performing arts industry and in my romantic relationships.
Nice to know that others have experienced a similar struggle trying to actualize what (or who) they love. It's also nice to know that - apparently - it gets easier to make love work! Thanks to my dancer friend Jamie, of the gorgeous red lip, who's been married for a bit and is incredibly comforting in her advice.
(Incidentally, this video makes me hope that I get to be painted at one of my next photo shoots!! Here's crossing fingers)
