empty feeling

i don't even know why i'm writing this but i do know that being at the tender age of 15, I have to think, what do I want to be? When thinking this i think, what do I like? First things to come to mind are, Drama and Philosophy. I want to act. In theatre, movie, commercials whatever, but i wonder what's my chance of getting there? there are so many talented people out there and i don't know if i am as good as they are. What if i'm just wasting my time trying? I mean, i get good grades and stuff, so do you reckon i should i do something like law? maybe i should go for uni and get a PhD.
what's the point of this? not really much except exactly how hard it is to be 15... or maybe i just think that and being 15 isn't hard at all... or maybe, just maybe i should go and see a psychiatrist.

reading this it seems that this has nothing to do with theatre... so i'm sorry for those who know hate me.

God I'm glad someone else out there feels these things!

This web page does alert you to just how many very ambitious and extremely talented people there are out there.
And once you realise how much competition there is around you start to wonder "Is it worth the bother? what if I'm never any good?"

But you gotta ask yourself- Do you REALLY want it?
If you think you might, go for it! if it doesnt work out at least we tried right?
WRONG! we feel like crap, and we resent other peoples success.

Hey I'm honest ok? If I'm helpful thats just a bonus! :P

But go for it anyway.

I'm not that much older than you and every time I ring around about auditions I feel as nervous as hell.
But right now its what I want more than anything and unless something else comes along I'm stuck with it.

You dont have to decide about your whole life right now, but if you start attending auditions and getting yourself known around the place I reckon youve got as good a chance as any of us.

Dont stress! And Good Luck!
