Ever feel like the life you’re living seems as if everyday you’re on a movie set?
You know: your life – your movie.

I wonder if other people feel that way. I do. My daughter, a clinical psychologist, says that’s pretty common.
Maybe it is. And no, I’m not delusional. There hasn’t yet been a confirmed diagnosis.

Quiet on the Set!

When I was younger, I was very conscious of what was going on around me and how my actions would fit in.
Had to look the part, dress the part, act the part – and then…
I became the part!

I was always prepared to: fight, charm, be smart, get the girl, whatever the role called for.

And ACTION!

Is that egotistical? Self centered, maybe?
Thinking that I was living a movie?
Maybe.
I really felt that. I measured and weighed every action to ensure it would fit into my personal movie.

I was the star after all.

Which follows that everyone else was a co-star.
So… maybe I’m not so egotistical after all.
You were in my movie too!

And not like some of the “stars” of today. The ones whose lives seem to be always spiraling out of control.
That was not me, I worked to control everything about me so that others watching my “real” life movie would like it.

I think we often promote this type of total self centeredness.
We hear so much of celebrity live, it’s like we actually know them. They’re just like us!

But, I’ve come to the realization that this isn’t actually living. At least for me.
So, I’ve finally realized I just want to live (in) my own life.

I don’t want to be the star of my movie anymore.
I’m just tired of it.

Fade to Black…

I guess that means I’ll be unavailable now for any acting roles.
In my movie or anyone else’s.

I’m done.

And as soon as I cam to this realization, my current employer asked me to do (star in) videos answering employee questions!

I’m back in action.
Coming to a theater near you soon!
Maybe YouTube is next!

And Cut!
That’s a wrap.
