a story about my love of theatre
ive been performing since i was 2 but i never thought i was good i was always dancing or acting (never sung tho) my elementary school everyone had to take choir and at our last performance before our school closed i got to sing tomorrow from annie with a few other girls and i got a small solo while rehearsing and the choir teacher said “you can really sing” moving on to middle school i still did theatre but in 8th grade the director put a dent into my love of theatre she simply did not care about the show (it was alice in wonderland) it was my first big role (since i was pepper or july (can’t remember) in annie when i was in 5th or 6th grade)i was the white queen but she couldn’t care less about my role or the show opening night was a bust. i starting to think that maybe i wasn’t that talented since most the shows i was in were everybody gets casted. the summer going into 9th grade i saw hamilton in the greatest city in the world and remembered why i love theatre but then i started high school (…) i refused to audition. fir sister act because i thought my talents were inadequate and i kept comparing my self to everyone i saw when i saw the show i thought i should be up there or at least audition. now present day i’m determined to do as much theatre as possible in 2018 *updates to come if you care*

antother short story about me and theatre
i feel like everyone knew i wasn’t supposed to have a “normal” job. i was meant to be a creative (as they say) . i wrote my first play when i was like in kindergarten or first grade and made my family perform it while i directed and co-stared in it. fir elementary school we always did something fir the arts wheather it was singing it a showcase. the arts have always been my default. i even dawned upon me one day that I don’t know what a “normal job” is and i know i probably wouldn’t be happy doing one. there are some days i want broadway more than others but i still want to make it happen
i’m proud to announce that in two weeks I will be joining my church’s choir!! I get to praise and bring people to Jesus while discovering my passion. this is big for me because i always said “i don’t sing. i can’t sing!” but now i’m branching out of my comfort zone. i’m trying to become used to uncomfortable situations

ok um...hi lmao I haven't used this account in forever. but every now and then I think about this thread and decide to update it. I do this for younger Ren (my nickname), because I know just how happy she would have been if she had the chance to read this. I also do this for any other depressed art kid who isn't sure if their dreams are possible...they are I promise :). so update timeee... if you're down.
I started this thread when I was a freshman in high school I think, i’m now a freshman in college getting my BFA in acting. I went through the whole college audition process last year and even got to audition for my dream school. I met some of my best friends during that process and I’m so grateful for them.
i’m agnostic/atheist so pls ignore all of the christian posts on my page...that was the old Ren and i’m very sorry if that triggers/ed you.
i’m VERY queer.
I was cast the female swing in my department’s production of she kills monsters.
im writing songs now! something I have always wanted to do but was too scared too. if there is something that you have always wanted to do but are scared to...please do it.
im in therapy. the best decision I could have ever made.
im very proud to say that I am the woman that I wanted to be when I was younger. and I am looking forward to continue saying that.
if you've been a follower of mine for a while, thank you. you made younger Ren feel seen and supported and I can't that you enough...because she needed that.
