The E-book of Random Crap

Abilities and Acting

So today in theatre class, the class in which we usually have about half of the period as free time just to talk and do nothing, we were talking about things like past lives, telling the future, souls... And it was just really interesting even if I don't know if I 100% believe it.

There are a few people in the class that say they have these... Abilities. Stuff like energy transferring, and being able to see past lives. According to my friend, I've had 12 past lives. One of them, I was one of the first people to move to the western United States with my family when I was just a little girl. That story was cool.

Then we got to the subject of telling the future. The two students that had the abilities said they could read people's future. People were asking stuff like when they meet their future husband, or what kind of a life they were going to have.

I didn't want to know everything; that would both be too overwhelming and take the fun out of it all. But I asked a few limited questions, not wanting any information that would be very specific or to in detail. I asked three things.
1) Have I met my soul mate yet?
And no I have not.
2) Do I ever met my internet friend. And yes I will.

And then the third question I asked my guy friend...

To see this stuff, the person that is able to read what happens has to hold the other person's hand, then they focus a minute or so to see what happens.

He held out his hand and before I grabbed it I told him, "Okay, I don't want to know everything about my future. Just one thing. Do I keep acting?"

Without missing a beat, he pulled his hand away before he even touched mine and said, "What- Well yeah! I already know that just from being in here (theatre class). You love it too much to give it up"

And I don't know why, but that just made me really happy. Like the "you love it too much to give it up" part of it. Acting has become my passion and I'm glad to find that other people can see that just by watching me preform and by knowing me. I was thinking, 'Wow, that's so true. I do love it a whole lot and I wouldn't give it up for the world'

But of corse, I was still curious, so my other friend took my hand and concentrated on it.

She told me that it would be difficult. That there would be a lot of ups and downs and so many rough patches and hard times. But I would continue and there would be a big break for me. That I'm gonna land a large role.

And I'm willing to go through tough times if it means that I'll end up getting to do what I truly love.

So yeah, on one hand this could be completely wrong and fake. But on the other hand, I can think about how happy that moment made me and remember that acting is what I love, and that can motivate me to never give up on it. So even if it turns out to be made up, I think today really meant a lot to me.
