Fear and Sanity

Today in yoga class the teacher made an interesting comment:

He talked about how he just taken up rock-climbing, but recently he'd hit a wall as to how far he could go/how good he could get. And then he realized he was afraid of falling and that was what was holding him back. Once he let go of that fear - he got better.

And I realized that this is why I am doing this solo show: because I am terrified of it. So I know I need to do it - I need to face this fear of putting myself out there, opening up freely. A solo show, bc they are usually so personal (and mine is) will make you deal with this. Make you open up. Hang out all your dirty laundry. And its the dirty laundry that people usually connect to anyway - that stuff that makes us all human.

So, no matter what the outcome of doing this piece (the outcome is not the point) - I know that doing this is important to the evolution of my soul, both as a human being and an actress. How I keep myself happy and sane.

By doing the insane.
