Things I want from acting, in no order:
A) Validation/status/being famous/pure ego grandiosity dream fulfillment
B) stable community role-- legible contribution to the world where I have a gift to offer, being appreciated & considered a good community member of stable status
Conversation
C) Spiritual practice & feedback. Presence, embodiment, ever-increasing awareness, shadow work, acceptance of what is, capacity for spontaneous self-trusting action, etc
D) Creative collaboration with other skilled people-- fun, communion
F) CRAFT- dedicating myself to excellence

G) Contribution of one beautiful, truthful piece of art to the world before I die-- ecstasy of expression of the beautiful + legacy
H) Confirmation of existence of an identity/self-worth anchor
I) To be in a story where I succeeded at what I set my mind to at 14/didn't fail

Replying to
have you tried uhhhh acting about it 😅😅😅
Omg what if I rewrote/clarified all these and then made a character for each one and then created some sort of play in which they all interact. Like they each get a monologue (kinda HS theatre but I don't care) or they have to go on a quest or something
