one of these nights...

dear friends and family,
i am having one of these nights. where it is already long passed my bed time but i can't fall asleep. where my eyes are tired but my head is awake. where i feel i want to drag out this already passed day and stay up longer, and that way prolonging acknowledging that a new day has started.
tonight i have been asked to be part of a plant for someone's bachelor party and i was able to learn a very important lesson as a actress but also as a human being: expect nothing and be open for anything. i wrote down some ideas and thoughts i had of how i want to stage the whole thing meanwhile not knowing where it will happen and how the location is going to look like. so when i got there and started my plot with a set idea of how i am going to do it and where i want to go with this, i was blown away by the reality that people were reacting differently that i expected and thought of in the script. so it was awkward cause the other men who were in the bachelor party were not helping me at all. they were kinda taking me apart in midair. i mentioned to kinda plot through it and get out of the situation very soon. but of course i wasn't happy with the outcome... anyway, apparently they liked it and enjoyed it. my housemate was there with me and he said he was amazed i stuck with it for so long.
anyway, what i take out of this experience? 1. take an improv class as soon as possible.
2. embrace new situations and let go of attachment to something that not IS.

in that sense. good night.
may you be able to embrace the new and different.
may you continue to learn and discover
namaste,
jewels
