Who Can Act...

No one knows me. But everyone is my friend. No one understands me, but everyone says they do. Why is this? Because I am an actress. I have been acting in a theatre setting for years but I have been acting like a person I am not for my whole life. If i were to really truly honestly be myself (which I am not even around my best friends) no one would get me, like me, or want to be my friend. So here is where the acting skills come in handy. Whenever I have to pretend to like someone or pretend to be happy or have a good time, I tell myself that it is just an acting exercise. And it does the trick every time. I always get through it. I can put up with people I hate so easily and I can pretend to have any emotion when the time calls for it. This talent I suggest everyone develops. It makes me..... me.

I'm always on the look out for someone like me out there to share my deep thoughts with honestly... another actor. But I have come across many actors in my time none of which are anything like me. This is the problem of being unique.

Recently my school just received 3 new students, and I love new students! And I never really knew why. I mean, they are strangers coming into and possibly altering my life that I have built up for years. Why would I, or anyone, welcome this? I'll tell you why. I have hopes that one of these new kids will be like me. I know everyone in my grade, and I know they are not like me, so I always have the hope to find the friend I have been looking for. But alas they never come. And it kills me every time.

Being unique is the loneliest job in the world. But acting like it's not helps you get through it miraculously.
