An adult doing adulty things

IYA LUV!

I've had a headache for the past three days, so bare with me. Thank you kindly. 😊

Who in their right mind thought I would make a good adult, that's what I'd like to know? Like I'm 22 at the end of the week, what's that about?! Nah, to be fair it could be going a lot worse. 

I find myself constantly asking questions though! Anxious Annie, that's what I should be called (no offence to anyone called Annie who may or may not be anxious). It's like I can't give myself a break just for five minutes, not even whilst I make my banana and turmeric porridge in the morning! Now that... that's tragic. 

Monday and Tuesday of this week, I performed in my first show post-LIPA, 'Thorn'. I played a boisterous, strong minded, painting punk and I loved her very much. Not only was this fringe production incredibly well written, but the team of creatives that made it all possible were the best I could have hoped for, truly and whats more, we'll be performing it again in October due to popular demand - result!

Post show blues are strong though... I'm not even going to begin to delve into that chasm of woe!

Anyway, aside from 'Thorn', I've been auditioning and preparing for auditions which is a lot less scary than I thought it would be. Honestly, I just turn up with a smile on my face and do my thing. If they like me, fab, if they don't, well... not so fab but that's life - you move on! 

I'm trying to take each day as it comes, yes there are bumps along the way (which for me is most days) but I'm learning how to rationalise things that used to make me go crazy and actually enjoy my life whilst I do so. 

I think back to a year ago and how bad my mental health was and how, subsequently, it had a negative effect on every other aspect of me, of what made me who I am. My quality of life was shot. It was and is ridiculous! And I believe it's the people I have surrounding me in my life right now, that have taught me to understand the following lesson: I have no reason to be unhappy! 

I do do what I love every day, I'm really bloody excited about the future, both in my career and in my personal life and I've fallen in love with my life again! 💗 

Adulting's not as bad as I thought it'd be.

Lots of love,
Rebecca x
