Pick or Choose

When life gives you Lemons... Make a Steak!

Hey, Have you ever had a bad day? Like just a bad day. On your way to work(or school) you spill Coffee on your pants, you forgot about the meeting or the big test, and when you get off you go to your car and you have a flat or you out of gas! Those days suck. Well, things happen for a reason. You can either take the bad things in a good way and channel it to make something good, or you can take them in a bad way and just sulk in the negativity.
Well, Recently for me I have been hanging around some new theatre people. I love them because not only are they a break from my regular drama at BPCC, They Inspire me! Isn't that amazing? Yesterday, we had lunch/dinner thing and these two girl were talking and their conversation inspired me to write a one act play, Which I'm working on write now. Today, I was talking to one of them about how they inspired me and telling her about this one act play inspired me for an Idea for a full Two Act play! It's wonderful.
I actually have story about a friend of mine. She auditioned for a show that would travel, a paying show. She knew she was the better actress at the audition. She thought in her head that it was her spot for sure! Whenever she found out the cast list, it wasn't her; she did not get the part. Now, as an actor or actress you can take not getting a role into two ways: one, make yourself a better actor; or two, why didn't they choose me? am I not good enough? I guess this isn't meant for me. NOW, I would suggest going with number one.
So think about it, when life throws you a curve ball instead of striking out, knock it out of the park. If something bad happens to you or your family channel it into something creative. Something fresh, something amazing!
So my lesson for today is: Pick to stand strong when the going gets tough and watch yourself grow or Choose to get knocked on the ground when life hits you hard and watch yourself fall.

Love you all,
Bradley

What is Love? Baby Dont hurt me?

Well, everyone thinks they are in Love or have been in love before. I know I have thought I was in Love once. Love is a crazy thing. Crazy because it makes you happy and sad; It makes you feel every single emotion a person can feel.

The Girl I thought I was in love with was wonderful. She was a gorgeous, smart, funny girl. She Like the same kind of music I liked, she supported me in my decisions, something you can't find to often when you are my age. Well, Love is Crazy. We ended on a bad note and I never spoke to her again. Looking back on my Love, I don't really remember any of the bad things... I just can remember the great times we had together. Tell each other we loved one another. Talking on the phone until we both could not speak any more. Dreaming and thinking about each other non stop. Holding her hand in mine and kissing her for the first time. Now I realize that Love is a crazy thing; because whether you like it or not you will always Love that person. You might hate that person now, but you'll love the memories you had with that person.

So the lesson, Love until you can't no more. Because you will never know when or how that person will leave your life. It could be in a car accident, they could move to Japan, or they could break up with you and never want to speak to you again. It could be tomorrow, 8 months away, 50 years down the road, or in five minutes. You never know. So Love because when you lose that person you will be hurt and all you can do is think about all the happy memories that you had. Pick or Choose to happy and Love or to sulk and Hate.

Love,
Bradley
