The Week That Was

Hello everyone! What a week it has been. I am relieved that it is coming to a close let's just say. Another week of self discovery and blah blah blah. Isn't that getting a little repetitive? I think it is. I'm over it but what can you do when you feel a certain way? Look into careers that you have thought about but never ever in your wildest dreams ever considered. I did that today. Today was a bit of an off day so while I was at the library I looked into the world of writing for film/ film production. Now, I did drama all throughout school and I loved it. Acting was my strongest subject. I don't want to be an actor, I'm no where near good enough but I've thought over the years about film production. This is going to sound weird but it all started when I put on the bonus disc of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest and watched how exactly the film was brought to life. This was an hour long documentary about how the cast, crew, producers and director all put together the film. It showed them going to different countries, shooting in difficult places and how they over came that, even showing their costume design and how intricate it is. I was fascinated by it. I think this movie came out when I was about 13/14 and it seemed amazing at the time but I could never do that or apart of something as amazing as that. I never researched or looked into anything to do with it because of this doubt I had within myself. I broke that today by finally looking into everything I have wanted to. I don't necessarily know if it will happen, but it's a possiblity that I'm willing to look into because it's there. I know most people would laugh in my face for it but I don't really care what they think. I like writing and I'm good at it. I like drama and I'm good at it. I like film and I'm willing to investigate it further. I do know one thing that is for sure. My career is not in Australia. I know that much. 


I have a friend that wants to do similar things. I can't remember exactly it is that she wants to do but I know it has something to do with films, art and going to university in the most elite art school in the United States. I think she'll get there. I really do. She's an amazing artist and has won national prizes for her work. She will be famous one day. I can garentee it. Well, not totally but it's just a feeling. 


I am starting yoga. I found a great studio that is in the suburb where I'm moving to in a couple of months. It's by the river and looks very relaxing so I'm going to give that a try and see if I can let go of my anxiety once and for all before I make my permanent move overseas. I'm excited to move overseas. Like my own personal adventure. If I could get an internship with a production company there then that would be the icing on the cake. I hope my writing will take me somewhere in life. It's my own personal therapy and if I can transform it more and more into something that is seen and heard by millions of people worldwide then I think I will finally be happy within myself and not so critical all the time. 


This isn't really telling you about my week since I am finishing this off on Monday when I started it last Friday. I never got back to it because I had a serious relapse on Saturday so I didn't really have the time. 


I think I should finally post this and get it over and done with. 


Bye-Bye.
