On The Road To Recovery

Turns out I have an illness I wasn't even aware I had. The recovery process wont be easy...That much I know. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I've been stagnant so long, I forgot how to move. Then this amazing long shot of an opportunity came to rest itself in my lap. The question stopped being "Can I do it?" and became "How can I do it?"
How does one manage to stay ahead of the burdensome curve called "life?" Well for one, TRY! So many of us fall victim to the fear of failed effort. Some of us are so afraid to try because we are scared the results won't be in our favor. We seem to forget its like what "they" say..."You won't know until you try!"
My adolescent best friend, we'll call him "Jeffery," has a lot to do with this decision I had to pick up my life and place it back down into a world of failure as well as triumph. Because that's what the world is. That's what the world has to offer and believe it or not but that includes EVERYONE.
Here I am driving by myself from Atlanta to Los Angeles to pursue the oh so stereotypical dream of becoming successful in the most difficult field EVER!!! Acting and stand up comedy.
I have no idea if I will be successful in this venture or if its a waste of time. But I do plan to live every moment along the way to the fullest. I don't want fame and fortune. What I do want is success? Many people do not know the difference between the two. Success to me is being able to take care of myself with the thing i love to do the most in the world is which is make people smile.Whether its getting on stage and being blinded by stage lights telling "knock-knock" jokes or turning a script into reality before your eyes. That my friends, is what I call success. I am headed in the right direction, on I-10 west bound to Los Angeles! I have no idea where the road will take me but I do know this much, I'm on the road to recovery!
