Werking Gurl (hahaha)

  This morning I wanted to talk about jobs/careers. The people who know me really well know that I actually have a growing list  on my phone of jobs that I want to have. I know, it's weird. But whatever. I like lists. So get out. No, haha, just kidding. But a ton of career's interest me.
  But you say, 'Claire, how are you going to accomplish all these careers/ what are you mainly striving to do?' Now children, I wabt to be an actress. For shows. On Broadway. I love theater. I love acting, I love singing, I love dancing. I love to be different people and immerse other people into a life that is not their own. I love the extremely bright, sweat-inducing lights. I love mic checks. I love tech week. I love everything. I love theater because, reverting to my past as a chronically shy girl, with acting you are somebody else, and you can't see your audience because of the lights, haha. I never used to want to sing in front of people. But I'm getting better. Go Claire. haha.
  It's weird though, because I find it really hard to tell people I want to be an actress. There are like, a bajillion and five other teenagers out there who tell you the exact same thing. I mean, I know it's hard to    "make it" in any industry out there (ugh I'm using so many cliches in this post - everybody take a deep breath -okay, bear with me {I don't think thats the right 'bear' for this situation, but just roll with it, kay?}), but I guess it's a weird psychological thing where I don't want people judging me for wanting to be an actress. All the wise monguls tell you to 'Dream Big' and 'Don't Give Up', but let me tell you, it's hard to keep that mindset. It's hard sometimes not to be unsure of yourself and your capabilities, your talents.  I mean, if I can't believe in myself, who will?
  Now that was semi-depressing. But I'm working on being confident and believing *eye roll from cliches. On another note, if I wan't interested/talented in acting/theater, I would want to be a magazine editor. I LOVE magazines. I devour magazines. I will read magazines word for word. Magazines are amazing. And if I wasn't good at writing/editing, I would want to be a flight attendant. I'm a good people person. I love airports. And traveling. And the little outfits flight attendants get to wear.
 And at one point(s) in my life I want to be; a radio DJ, a food truck owner, a cosmetologist/beautician, an aerialist, a lighting person for Cirque du Soleil, a dresser, and a book narrator. Lots of stuff. Oh, and an ASL translator. Except I have to learn sign language first. Haha.

       Going to eat bacon.
