I used to be a shy, awkward guy clouded with brain fog. Rejected, validated-seeking and stubborn I was in this world for a vain juvenile purpose. I realized the reason I was so shy is that I was living all the time in my thoughts and in my own head. I have come SO far from that using many techniques, some of them unorthodox such as binaural beats and subliminal self-hypnosis. But the main influence for my change was the stage. The stage shaped me to break free of my comfort zone. In doing something enough times, you shed fear of embarrassment. Humiliation is just a roadblock. Sometimes I feel theres still a part of me that is that person. My ego was a strong one, it was difficult to break free from it. However, I have changed, evolved and transformed over time. I have found out who I truly was, what my potential was and what my purpose was. I knew my purpose was to inspire. I knew I had to embrace my fears, personality and not constantly need validation from other people to feel good about myself. I realised my place in the world was of my own doing and destiny and a part of my subjective journey was one no one else could change but me. I feel like more tools and resources into self-help, motivation, social dynamics and inner-confidence building helped me become a better, likeable more successful person. You know what they say, right? You teach best what you most need to learn. Balance is a very important concept for me. Theatre for me is helped me find this balance. We cant be too much or too little, we must find the grey area, the middle ground, the ambiguous. We all have to start somewhere and I discovered improv comedy for the first time. It made me make fun of myself and take myself lightly, in doing this I realised it was incredibly freeing, that I didn't have to match societies standards for things, I was becoming more and more self-aware.
