Aim for the moon because even if you fall, you'll land among the stars

Hello Welcome back to my little blog I hope you enjoyed my first one I am really getting into using the memory jar. I am rather excited to open it and see all these memories from over the year that I experienced. Also today is April 1^st and I have taken my first photo of a cake that I baked for my family, I thought it was worth a little snap. Sadly I haven’t taken part in any April fools, I may have to plan one for later. One last thing before we crack on, happy easter! I hope yours was as lovely as mine.



One of my earlier Easter gifts

  Now onto my new subject for my new post, I have been thinking about how to start theming these posts and a special someone came up with the idea to use a different quote every week for my theme. Which I thought was brilliant, as long as it’s a quote that affects me and perhaps inspires me in some way. This week’s quote is in the photo below ‘Aim for the moon because even if you fall, you’ll land among the stars’.

 

  The reason this quote really sticks out to me is because it gives me faith that anything is possible as long as you aim high. I have very high aspirations which I think is a very good thing; even though I may be told that they are unachievable, I stick to my guns. Over the past year I have grown as a person, changed friendship groups and have finally become happy with who I truly am. I always felt that drama was an escape but it helped me become more confident. There is nothing better than hearing the audience applaud after a performance especially if it’s one you created.

   One genre of drama that I was always jealous that my cousin would do seamlessly was comedy; he is very natural with various accents and can play the most hilarious yet convincing old man I have ever seen someone do. But looniness aside, it always came very naturally to him and one day he asked me why I seemed so funny outside of class and then when it came to class I would hide away. As soon as I was told this I decided to really go for things more and I appreciate him saying it to me because I feel like I can now make others laugh with my complete weirdness. When we were told to experiment with Bercovian theatre (Stephen Berkoff style performance) I really broke out of my little box and just thought, I may look completely insane but I should try it anyway. It turns out I am rather convincing as inanimate objects, as Bercovian theatre includes actors playing objects. I had to play a lamppost, washing machine, a saloon style door and many more. From finally breaking from my shell I honestly feel that I can accomplish my dreams of becoming a professional actor.

I know it’s a hard choice and isn’t easy, but why should I stop before I have even attempted my dreams? That’s why I don’t understand negative people, of course I am not always jumping up and down with positivity, especially when I have just realised it’s a Monday. I like many others am not a fan of those mornings. But we get on with it and find the best in every day; well at least I try to. I hear people say that it’s a pipe dream and the competition is hard but what if the ‘competition’ is actually not that scary and maybe, a very big maybe, I can beat them.  This quote really inspires me to not only keep a hold of my big aspirations, wishes and dreams but also spurs me on for everyday life. I want to keep pushing myself for something that is bigger than me, I really would love it if in some way, shape or form I inspired someone. If I could touch inspire someone to try something they haven’t or to follow their dreams that would be amazing. I feel blessed and inspired by a lot of people and I think from surrounding myself with great friends and a pretty awesome guy who makes me feel special every day, my dreams can become a reality.

   I am going to stop myself rambling on because I do have infinite babbling abilities. I hope you enjoyed this and it made you happy or made you feel like your dreams no matter what they are or how small and large they may seem are achievable. So go for it and I wish you luck!

Bye for now, love,
