Doomed to be a waitress

June 09 2007
I feel amazingly... unproductive. An acquaintance from High School is in LA auditioning for whatever he can. He is taking a risk and pursuing his dream. He was going to play it safe and be a pharmacist, but he is doing what he loves because he can't not do it. 

 

And what am I doing? I am working at Blue Coast Burrito-- where I get treated like crap by the owner's wife-- and sitting on my dreams. Roosting. I am roosting. I am not going to auditions. I am not even writing my story I was SO excited about.  I am still excited, but I just can't seem to get past this block.

 

So, I have to ask the question: Am I actually talented? Could I make it? I have answered myself in this, and because of my answer I am not looking for auditions. I don't see a point.

 

Please, reader, don't answer the above question. That would mortify me. Just think to yourself: If God gave you a talent, even one that is weak and small, is it a sin to not do anything with it because you have tried and failed so many times you feel depressed at the thought of getting rejected again?

 

My friend and I have coffee every week and plan our big breaks. How he will write a character just for me and let me be his star, and he will achieve his dreams. Will it happen? Oh God! Will it happen?

Funny, I seem to have the same problem as you about writing a certain project of mine. Of course, I'm still trying. If there's only one thing I can say that I've been telling myself this past week: "Don't give up".

Maybe you need to get Jesus in your boat. :o)

Talent is a contributing factor but is not the deciding factor. Make sure you understand your dream ... give it God ... and He will guide you ....

Failing is not a permament thing; if so, nobody would walk, write, act, or sing. Keep trying, and tell Wagner we're rooting for him here.
