Gotta Love It

It's 10:40 Tuesday morning and I'm sitting at work not wanting to focus. I don't have that much to do so I'm not in a rush to get things done. We filmed for Dangerous Writing all weekend and early this morning, and it's all I can think about. Though I'm tired, I feel better than I have for a long time.

The longer I wait between acting jobs, the more I realize how much it feeds my soul when I get back to work. I shouldn't wait so long. I am so grateful that Neal asked me to be in his film. My senses are waking back up, as is my appreciation for life. It is also more apparent than ever how much I need acting in my life. But, it's not just the "acting", it's the entire experience. Being on set, getting to know your castmates, watching the crew work...just being a part of it all coming to together. And in doing what I love I am breaking out of the monotony of my day to day life and routines. What a glorious feeling!

That's not to say that I don't appreciate my life and what fills it up (in fact, I think it makes me appreciate it more), it just lets me know that I need to create more space for acting. That sounds like such an obvious statement, but when you get stuck in routines and ways of being, it's easy to dismiss the fact that you're not doing what you love. Even if "doing what you love" means filming a blow job scene at 7 in the morning. See, you just gotta love it!

Love,
Aislinn
