Last night I had more than one person tell me “I’m glad you’re home.”
To me, home isn’t just where I’m from, it’s where I belong. Now I’m sure people get tired of me constantly talking about how GREAT Lansing is… :-) I’ve also had people ask what I’m doing here with a Master’s Degree. Sigh, this question gets old. I didn’t get my degree to perform on Broadway or at the Met. And while I’m still going to try to get some summer stock work and I haven’t ruled out doing some performing, I really want to work here. Make work for myself. I have lots of big ideas, probably too many.
Since I feel kind of cut off from most of my friends due to my crazy schedule, I sometimes forget how amazing my community is. Last night was yet ANOTHER reminder of how many wonderful people I have in my life, even on the periphery. Trying hard not to forget that :)
