I heard if you whisper “alright alright alright” 3 times in front of a mirror Matthew McConaughey appears and gives your career a makeover while spouting metaphorical life philosophies.

but if you say more than 3 times André 3000 appears asking that you be on your baddest behavior.

Musical Life Choices

I'm glad I'm at a point in my life where I don't care if anyone thinks I'm "less of a musician" for wanting to teach and play all the musical theater gigs I can get. 

I really don't have any aspirations to get into an *major orchestra*/have a solo career, both of which I'm not cut out for, and would be miserable in the process. After an intense 8 week festival this summer I lost almost all interest in playing cello, and put it down for several MONTHS. Unheard of for a woman whose entire life has revolved around playing. But after practicing 4.5 hours per day on major solo repertoire, orchestra pieces, etudes, excerpts, chamber music (which I still love btw), scales, sonatas, etc...and still not being taken seriously, sitting in the back of the orchestra every week, moving inch by inch while everyone else is flying through their rep...it gets exhausting. I couldn't do it anymore. I went in with the attitude of "I'm just trying to keep playing and getting better," and was crushed. 

Anyway, I am playing Spring Awakening again, and yeah it's a pretty cheesy musical, but it's a fun book and really nice to work with a group of singers and dancers in a musical medium that doesn't take itself so seriously. I had more fun playing tonight than I've had in a while, and even managed to secure ANOTHER gig where they've been looking for a cellist. The NJ community theater world is a small one. 

So yeah, I'll take teaching elementary school and playing musicals/rock gigs any day. I'm fulfilled by both, it keeps me playing, and let's be real here, I'll probably have more work and opportunities than those vying just for an orchestra job and/or turn up their noses at community theater.

Judge away, I'll be making money and having fun while doing it.

Let’s be honest here - I am not the girl men fall in love with. I am the girl that men want to fuck. I am a conquest. A prize. A show. I could count on five hundred fingers the number of people that have professed, “I like you. You’re different. You’re an interesting girl.” Apparently I’m not fascinating enough for you to want to hold for more than a one night stand. Once as I finished swimming a sea of blankets and got left stranded on the shore, I asked myself: What’s wrong with me? What am I doing? Am I not good enough for anybody? And right before I could drown again, the sun woke up and said, "You are. You are enough. Forget the men whose hands have groped your hips in search for answers to questions you’ve never even heard of. Do not settle for people who do not appreciate you, who do not know how lucky they are. Remember it is a privilege to be loved by you, or even just to be touched by you, and the warmth of another body does not define your worth. These men - they think that they can own you with their drunken stares and roughened arms, but I have circled the earth a thousand times to feed the light flowing inside your skin. Do not waste it by illuminating those who can not even be bothered to learn your last name.” So that night when the moon tried once more to pin me down, I told him: I am made of sunlight, crashing waves, and fireworks. You think you can tame me and cool my flesh? I am the girl who plays with matches, and trust me I play it well. Lord knows I’ve walked through villages leaving a pile of destruction in my wake. My heart is a bushfire and the next time you try to control me, darling, make no mistake - I will burst out and ravage you in flames. I’ll burn you to the ground. (This isn’t a test.)

stop for just one second.

think about all the people you’ve secretly had a crush on. all the people you’ve found attractive, but never said anything to. every stranger you’ve temporarily fallen in love with on public transportation. all the people you’ve dreamt of and thought of in the early mornings.

and now take a moment to realize that they’re lizards. all of them. they were all reptilians in disguise
