Huge Heave of Relief...Alice is come and goneLovepuke awaits expectantlyMy tiny heart is bursting with excitement.Although it's been a tough ride with Alice, fraught full of tension and explosion points and exhaustion and lots more, it hasn't been less of a lesson. To me, Alice was quite a success, but I'm not too sure about the production side of it. I don't think it fell flat on its face, but it didn't take off too far into the sky, but it did take off, and I think that's what important, and it took us all with it."I think I can safely say that from day one til now, from the day you came to audition for us, til opening night tonight, I don't we were able to give you anything from this."I beg to differ. There is always something to be learnt, it's only a matter of whether or not what's learnt is the desired lesson.Regardless, I'm really thankful to all those involved, and for this opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and take on such a task. It's pushed me in different ways imagined, and I know what I'm capable of, and what I can handle and face. I guess it's always a question of whether the pay-off is worth the effort, and from the feedback that I received with regards to my performance, I think it was rather worth it. We all need assurance, I know what I'm capable of, but I still need to be told that I can be better. That people see in me what I'm too afraid/humble to proclaim."You've got stage presence.""She spent the least time rehearsing with you, even though you had the most lines, and she spent heaps of time with the rest, but the desired outcome from you was the best and the rest was not as good. You had like 2, 3 individual rehearsals with her, yet you were able to do such a great job with your character. The other leads in previous musicals spent like 4-5 months rehearsing but you did such a great job in merely 6 weeks. You've got the talent and she thinks you're amazing.""You've done backstage? I can't imagine you doing that, because I believe that people have it in them to either be onstage or backstage, and I don't think you belong to the latter."Thank you all for those really heartening and encouraging comments, I really needed to hear them, not so much as an ego boost, but more as reassurance that I have made the right choice, and that I'm not going on the wrong path. So thank you all, and I thank Thee for bringing me to such a point in this road, and for always reassuring me when I'm unsure and weak, and bringing joy to my heart. Let me always be inspired and positive in light of all the obstacles and challenges to come.
