Points of Differences

I am trying to give my hand at performing arts. It is no secret and it is no joke. Why I want to, is because I have a desire to want to express all that I am and can be in this line of art and work. I take pride to know that is nothing but tough, filled with conviction and a driving force that you have to keep up all the time.That said… my heart breaks sometimes. Not everyone understands why people do the arts. Not everyone will even agree to it over here. If anything they will question why do you do it? It doesn’t bring you money, it doesn’t give you a career, it doesn’t do anything for your future. Why do people see it in that light? Granted it takes mountains of years, experience and possibly a touch of good fortune in order to make it big. But why let that be a hindrance? Why can’t people grow into something that aspire for? I have a lesson to be learnt here… I shall not ask anyone who is not keen on the art scene anymore. I feel once again alone on this journey, even though this week has been so fascinating for me to know that there are others out there with the same interests, and the same passion for doing the crazy thing called acting. I say alone, because some people who I thought were keen either let me down or did it because of other intentions (be they good or bad ones). Alone on the fact that you have to drive this vehicle by yourself and it’s a long ride. It’s so hard when the ride you have is a lonely one, with no one to keep you awake but yourself and the mellow sounds of the radio. I’m tired…and i’ve learnt here, that there’s a reason why a number of people don’t bother with others out there in the art scene. Simply because you can never tell which of them would give a 120% on something which is apparently not as “rewarding”. We have points of differences here. And it’s tough.
