Just felt like getting this little bit of me out in the open.

I love to act.In fact,when I'm acting,I don't feel like I'm acting,it's more like I'm letting parts of the real me out for a stretch instead of staying all bottled up and refined like I usually do.

When I'm on the stage, as cliched as this may sound, the rest of my life's worries just melt away and I feel like I could be anyone, do anything and achieve any of my dreams whilst I'm in the shoes of whatever character I might happen to be playing.

When I step into the spotlight I breath a sigh of relief in the knowledge that I'm about to do something that comes naturally to me,that I enjoy,and that makes me feel really good about myself.

I don't think some people understand the freedoms that the stage brings.You can be an apparently quiet person in real life but when you step into the shoes of another person and stride across the stage with seemingly put on confidence,you can let out that little part of yourself that is actually that confident.If you're a very 'proper' and refined person in your own life, you can step out onto that stage and get away with murder and behave badly,becoming the outrageous person that you would never be expected to be in real life.

Being another person,even if it is only for a very short while,is fantastic.You don't have to stick to any of the restrictions that society has put on you,you can just let go and be anyone you want to be,voicing your true feelings through the guise of someone else.

It annoys my friends that I talk about acting and drama so much,but I only talk about it so much because it's one of the only times I can forget about the worries that my real life has and just become the complete opposite of what I am and what I am expected to be,which sometimes,I'd really really like to actually be.I only talk about it so much because I have a passion for acting that I don't think they understand fully so I try and make them understand,which I suppose must come across as me trying to force my hobbies down their throats.

Really,I love acting so much because to me,acting is not putting on a show,it's letting stuff out behind a mask.
