we all have our strong passions. most of my friends are into extreme sports and photography. and, ive always try to get into those things myself. i find them interesting and fun. but, ive notice i dont have the drive like my peers. since, i was little ive always been the shy quite one. but, when i discovered acting i became the total opposite. ive realized in the past few years ive lost that about me, letting other things become priority. well, ive made a choice. i can either stay in virginia beach and leave my passions behind in hope of finding new ones or find an acting school and be proactive and try to make it one day.
im not looking for fame. i just want to do something for the rest of my life that i would enjoy because its a passion, not because i have to do something to pay bills and keep a roof over my head. i know, its not an over night thing and it can take years before i will be noticed. and, considering my asian decent i would most likely not be getting work easily as it is. honestly, im just tired of wasting my life away and dreaming what could have been if i had continued with school. i want to know what will be. and, what ill become.
theyre many things that hold me back. moving away to a place where i dont know anyone, how im going to make money to survive while im there, or even how long ill be able to to deal with the struggle into making it in this field of work. but, im tired of letting all that doubt control me. i know i have talent and the passion. i just need the drive.
my skin is a little thicker. my mind is a lot more open. and, i basically have no shame. so, why not acting??
and, to let you know the school ive been looking at and researching is in canada. british columbia to be exact, which is great because ive spent a lot of my childhood in that region of the world before moving back to japan.
heres a project i found from the school i wanted to go to. its all about chance.

Sir you seem to be haeding in the right direction. One bit of adivise that I as a friend would like to give you is to leave Virginia. It's is easier said then done, but you know that Virginia just doesnt have those things that you and I want in life. Are friends and family are there, yes, and we wish we could bring them everywhere with us, but sometimes you gotta scratch that itch, even if its very far away from the very people that inspire us. Someone once told me, "If you love your job, you will never WORK a day in your life". Another person also told me,"Life isnt about working hard and making lots of money to buy a bunch of shit you dont need or really want, its about finding your passion, and doing that thing to the fullest". I hope this inspired you a little bit. Now get off you little asian ass and make some moves!
