You know what I would really like to do, if I could, if I had the capability, the talent?

I would really like to major in performing arts.

 Just the thought of being on stage, the spotlight shining upon you as you recite your lines with gusto, with enthusiasm, that in itself is such a thrilling thing to experience even if it’ll only last for a split second in time. You see the audience entranced, you form and mold the character you're playing into what you perceive him or her to be, you hear your own voice carried through the air to reach the ears of the captivated people in their seats. That moment when you hit the stage and already have everyone within your grasp as you bring them on a journey you want to show and portray. It's that elated feeling just being there, right there and no one and nothing can ever snatch that moment away from you, because you possess it. That feeling of being on stage is just indescribable, or even when you're just part of the team, it really is inexplicable to be a part in something big. That camaraderie bond between everyone, cast and crew, after slugging through so much together, even if it was the smallest of any productions in the world, it still would hold so much to everyone involved.

& being part of the rehearsals, the decor team to set up the stage and fix every single detail of the props into its proper place, to be able to help design the costumes to be worn by cast members on stage, or the technical crew to oversee the lightning’s or the props that would move around the stage, every single part played to make the whole piece work and fall into place like clockwork really made me thought about going into showbiz full time. Even to be in the crew of people responsible for the different elements of the production, to design the set, or become a stage director, or the costume designer where you can picture the characters and how their clothes could compliment their personalities, how it would bring out the best and the worst for all sorts of caricatures. It just brings forth so much joy just thinking about being a part in any theatre production. The unpredictability of what would happen, because everything is always different no matter how much the actors stick to the script. It's watching as events fold before your very eyes, and you're as enthralled as everyone else is. Just by being there, being in a theatre, it really does feel like magic sometimes.

But alas, that one thing that is needed the most to get you through is talent, and I’m afraid I’m sorely lacking in that department. I hardly consider myself an actress, perhaps a decent one, and constantly wonder if any of my sketches of costumes and stage settings would do any good at all. But i am afraid that I could not get through the tough stages of being in the theatre line. I would love to, but I don't think I have what it takes, and the drive, the passion and the perseverance to send me to the top.

but I always wondered though, how life would be like if I really did pursue that dream, that one aspiration out of many aspirations that I’ve mulled over and have actually have taken it seriously. I think life would never stop being this never ending whirlwind of dramas, but hey, I would think that majoring in performing arts, your everyday life would become your stage, and I think that's the most exciting experience anyone could ever experience in their lifetime.
