I have come to learn that not all articles are going to pass with flying colors. There are certain articles that work well for some people but not for others. For me, it’s the articles that I type up at three in the morning when I can’t sleep and my mind won't shut off. When I really need to be getting at least a few hours of sleep so I can try to function in public without making a fool of myself.
It’s moments like these at three in the morning that I am able to put all my thoughts and feelings into words that I once was not able to do at all. It’s because of Odyssey that I can communicate better with the people who I am closest. Writing has become such a positive and healthy outlet for me. It has become a way for me to cope on my own when no one else is around to help.
I couldn't tell you how many mini breakdowns I have had this past week. I feel as though I am stressing and stretching myself to the max but I am thankful for it as well. I may not have time to stop and have a conversation with an old friend because I am late for a meeting but that is okay. We will catch up sometime. I am glad I don't have much free time. It allows me to keep my mind on the important things like meetings, auditions, interviews, and class work. It allows me to keep my mind off of the less important things like bad relationships, boys, drama, and other things that I really just don't have time for.
It's times like these where I have really found myself and who I really am. It's during the time it takes me to walk across campus going from one interview to another that I reflect on who I am and what I am doing. I have to say that this past week I have been super proud and humbled by how I see myself. I see myself as a wonderful individual who can carry herself all on her own. I see a woman who isn't afraid to embrace her individuality. I see a woman who has come a very long way in terms of herself and her career in a very short time. I am proud of who I am. what isha this?
The point of this article is not for me to brag about how great I am doing. The point of this article is to show how even the most broken people can be fixed. To show that even if you think you can't do anything on your own and need someone to lean on, you can do it. You know yourself better than anyone else. You know how to fix your broken pieces so they never break again. Embrace yourself, who you are, and your individuality. Love you for you because there is no one else like you.
