Why do I act? I act in so many ways that I don’t even remember who I am. I’m just so tired of it. The same thing happening over and over again. I thought I had gotten over it, but I was wrong. Maybe I’ll never get out of this slump. I’m just stuck waiting for someone to pull me back up on my feet. Can I not mange to out of this on my own? Why can’t I? I’ve tired so many times….but I’m about to fall again. I want to stand on my own and face my fears. I want to stop acting……I want to be strong enough to do this but I can’t…I try everyday and fail. What should I do just wait for someone to came across my cold dead body on the side of the road?

Dear Disappearing….maybe you need permisssion to vacate your role, whatever it has been for a day.
Being is not so much a recollection as it is a sensation that changes over time.
We are never who we think we are … we are who we feel we are.
Who are you acting for? Who is your audience? What if you played writer for a day what would you have your actor/actress self do?
If I knew yo in person I’d say lets go running around town exclaiming we exist and do some in some scary but authentic way like singing off key or dressing goofy – put on a poorly acted play.
For understanding how deeply we need one another try watching the movie Awakenings. Talk about a slump and needing help.
For finding your internal compass I recommend meditation and play. Did you get to play as a child? Did you grow up playing a forced role?
