maybe i'm crazy

people ask us why we do it
why we work and rehearse and run and sing and dance
until there are bags and dark circles
that shouldn't appear until we're much older than this.

is it for our parents?
maybe

is it for attention?
possibly

is it for the audience?
partially

is it for our future?
sort of.

is it because we really truly enjoy it?
mostly.

yes, we love this. we love performance, we love our friends...we love everything that goes along with it. Even the stress. We even love being so sleep deprived that we can hardly see straight.
but then, there's that part in all of us that knows that we are also doing it to avoid thinking. Keeping ourselves so busy that all we have time to think about is where we are going and what we are doing next. and we know this, deep down (maybe not so deep) we know this. and we have no intention of stopping.

it's interesting isn't it?
