So, I thought I would jump on this blog bandwagon and create my own. I think writing is therapy sometimes. It is also true that the G. in my name has gotten quite popular. I have gotten several comments from casting directors that like the ring of it, and you know what I like it as well. So here is to the G baby!! So I have decided that I am going to share my experiences here in NYC as I attempt to pay the bills as a "working actor." I have decided that life is too short to have regrets. I am really content with where my life is right at the moment. Sure, we all would like more money which would provide a little less stress and security. But from what I have learned from my 23 years of life here on this planet, we as humans are going to stress and worry about things. So I am slowly starting to adopt the philosophy of those people on the Greek island of Mykonos, don't worry, relax, you are in Mykonos. While exchanging the Mykonos for NYC does not quite have the same feeling, I think it can be applied to life. Too many times, we and me specifically are so concerned about everything. However, I need to be content with where I am in my life. I have definitely grown a lot and have stopped comparing myself to other people. It is funny how by being here for four months now, auditioning has become like second nature. I am still on my toes but I have learned not to stress about auditions. I think it is a good thing. Today, I am just enjoying the nice weather, my amazing apartment, and the fact that I am alive. Because, ulitmately, that it what everything is about. It is about cherishing this thing we call life. It such a bizarre and wonderful thing that we experience on a daily basis. As a challenge for myself, I am forcing myself to cherish every daily moment, that daily exchange on the subway, the smile with the barista at starbucks, or watching a movie with a roommate. These moments are all special and how we handle them comes to define us as a person.
