By all external measures, I am a success. I made it through childhood. I did well in school. I lost people to terrible diseases. I lived on. I went to University. I lost other people to sudden, unforeseen circumstance. I lived on. I completed my studies. I travelled. I was lost for a little while.
I lived on.
I absolutely adore this definition of success. Thanks for that :) Otherwise, it'd be a bit strange if you weren't nervous at all, don't you think? Because there's uncertainty, and I don't think you can ever approach uncertainty with a completely relaxed face (much as we try).
I hope you have a blast, and congrats again on your show!
The meekest of affirmations. I live on. The opening is tomorrow night - but it is a communal opening, so I get to spread my success(?) among a broader audience, who will each have successes and anxieties of their own.
