For the first time in a very, very long time, probably in years actually, I feel happy. Really truly HAPPY. Not content, not satisfied, not settled, not loved, appreciated or supported, but HAPPY. Its an indescribable and strange feeling. I have the people involved in my community theatre to thank for this miraculous change in me: I have only known them for a few months, but they welcomed me into their group in such a way that I feel like I belong there, like I have always belonged there and they were just waiting for me to come home to them. Its crazy to say as a 20 year old that most of these people who are my parents age or older are turning into my best friends, but it is absolutely true. The relationship i have with my cast mates is different from the ones that I have with my friends who are my age, because as comrades, as friends, and as a group of people with a shared interest, we go out for drinks and cheap bar food after rehearsal or shows, talk about everything from life, love, hardships, the beyond, and of course our play, and are able to share laughs over things that most people my age havent even experienced yet; to say the least our time together is eye-opening. But I am at a place where I am happy, almost all the time now. Joining ACT was probably the best decision I have ever made in my entire life and as my cast mate Mark said yesterday, thank you doesnt even BEGIN to cover what I want to say to all of you, but its a start. The start to something beautiful, the start to a new life, filled with compassion, love, and what I know will be lifelong friendships. I love each and every one of you so much. Thank you for all you have given me.
