I was going to post part two of my tribulations, but last week’s post inspired me to write something different this week.
As we all do, I sometimes feel incredibly alone.
Especially when times are, ahem, trying.
I posted about my Fall semester travails and your response was overwhelming.
I was asked for my Venmo info.
The GoFundMe was reopened.
Y’all came together to support me in the home stretch.
It was a reminder that I’m not alone.
My Facebook/email fam is always there.
Y’all inspire me!
Thirty-seven days from today I graduate.
I know I will be surrounded by your love and prayers when I graduate on April 21.
I was talking to one of the first-year students about my journey to Adler and through the program.
I was telling him how in my final year I’ve truly appreciated going back to my notes from my first year.
They resonate so differently now.
You’re an inspiration, he said.
I chuckled and said some people think so.
As he left, I reflected.
I reread the comments from last week’s post.
I looked up the blog post I wrote in my first year about being an inspiration.
I’m settling more into the idea of me as inspiration.
I’m actually beginning to embrace it.
Hoping that some of you are using me as an inspiration to do something crazy in your lives.
Do something you’ve always dreamed of.
Being open to all the universe has in store for us.
This week I’m on Spring Break.
I’ll be catching up on thank you notes to all of you that contributed.
Using this blog as a thank you to everyone here that has encouraged me.
When I graduate this blog won’t end.
I’ll be writing about my life as a (hopefully) working actor.
You’ll get to see how the sausage is made.
Thanks again to all of you for inspiring me to reach my full potential in this world.
