Turning 26

"How is it to be 26?"

"Do you feel any different?"

To answer both questions...it feels the same. I made it through 25, and it was a year of growth and change. It was at 25 that I made the decision to pursue my dreams, due what it takes to make myself happy and content with life, and live every day not only as the last day but as the best. I truly discovered the power of "I can", and have used it as much as possible. I have made leaps and bounds toward my Acting goal, and I have 25 to thank for that.

However, something tells me 26 will be more than I can even expect. I've come to a few realizations lately that are giving me a different outlook. I still want to be an actor more than anything, and I will do whatever I can to pursue that. But do I have to do it here...can I do it here? I've felt the need to travel, move, or change for some time now, it's no secret, I tell everyone. There always seems to be an excuse to stay here though; I've built my life here, all my friends and my families are here, I just got everything I own and I can't afford to move. But the truth is, I'm just afraid to do it. Fear of the unknown, of being alone. But maybe the time is coming. I can sell my possessions and make the money I need to travel. There are cheap alternatives in larger cities for people looking to build a new life. I have friends everywhere, and I built this site to keep in touch with the ones I don't see day to day.

No worries of this happening soon, I have a few obligations that will keep me around KC for a while longer, but who knows what this year will hold. 26 looks to be an adventurous year full of possibility.
