Where do I begin? It's been a crazy 8 month or so, even crazier 3 month. I went from picking myself from a mental bottom to spearheading my dreams. I'm far from where I want to be but I'm much further than I ever expected to be in life. It's hard or even impossible for me to actually processing everything that has worked out for me. All through my hard work, I couldn't be happier and I'm not planning to waste the opportunities ahead.
Let's fast forward to sometime 3 months ago, I felt my heart lean more towards acting. I've always been a creative at heart, from poetry to content creation to story writing but nothing really stuck. I've always been curious about acting but I never got the opportunity to explore it, or maybe I was scared. I was going through alot but once my head was cleared, through multiple counselling sessions, antidepressants and choosing to believe that I had more to offer, I saw a way forward. I started this journey with all the hopes in the world and I haven't looked back since.
After 2 months or so with ActUpNorth online, booking 2 roles and my own learning, I managed to get signed by an agency. Which gave me the opportunity to get onto Spotlight, an acting forum that can take some people up to 2 years to get on. So, for sure, things have been crazy, but let me not get ahead of myself, there's still alot of work to do.
Remember when I said I've had a crazy couple of months, yeah, I saw my musical idol, Billie fucking Eilish, live in person. I'm still not over it and I don’t think I ever will be. Not to even mention that I was less than 20 metres away from Yungblud like 3 days before. Will get to that later, but I've been a Billie Eilish fan for at least a good 5 years and seeing her in person was always nothing but a pipedream. This was one of the many opportunities that moving back to England opened up for me and once it became a possibility, I jumped on it. No hesitation. At all.
It was unreal, a once in a lifetime event, you had to be there and I was. I made the trek to London on my own with nothing but the desire to make a dream reality. The people at the concert were such a vibe, we felt all connected, coming from different places but united in this one moment. Back to Yungblud, been a fan of his for like a good two years so once I saw he was performing an hr away from me, it was a no-brainer, I had to go. It was a short performance, even shorter than planned because it was hot and he was sick, but it was definitely worth the price.
All this to say that I've had some great experiences since I've turned my life around. Not going to ramble on about each one, you can check my insta, but life has blessed me in many ways.
I think anyone can realign themselves in this balancing act we call life. I did and I'm not better than anyone. I just wake up and try to do my best. Treat people the way I would like to be treated. Keep my head down through the struggles and pull my chin up when it's time to celebrate my milestones. You can do it. I'm sure you have better things to do than read a blog from a nobody, but if you've read this far, thank you. I hope you find better things to do with your time, but I appreciate that I didn't write this for nobody. Until we meet again.
