My body does not wanna today.
I think Iβve only had one other show that has demanded this much from me physically and mentally, but this is the shit I just love. As much as Iβm struggling with my own issues of never feeling good enough, I feel fulfilled and like Iβm working hard.
I canβt just go to sleep when I get home from rehearsals or a show. I have too much adrenaline and too many thoughtsβ¦ and I have rehearsal tomorrow morning, so I definitely need to sleep.
My friend and I walking to our cars after rehearsal tonightβ¦
I donβt love trying to pick songs to learn and sing. Iβm not good at it. There are just too many choices, and usually I have a deadline and itβs a bit nerve-wracking. π¬
Got to leave work a little early today, so now I have an extra half hour, which may not seem like a lot, but Iβll take what I can get!
And being an intense perfectionist when it comes to anything I do and struggling with never being enough makes this so much more stressful.
I want to preface this by saying that Iβm grateful to be busy right nowβ¦
However, I have so much on my plate, that itβs so overwhelming and just trying to do the best I can to put work into every little thing.
Itβs really hard to defeat this feeling of never being good enough, or even just enough. Today was much harder to do that. Ugh! Itβs just so heavy to carry all of the time.
And itβs not like a big deal, but it is something that super scares me, especially with my confidence being absolutely shatteredβ¦ But I said yes to do it, and Iβm going to do the best I can.
I was just asked to do something that makes me really nervous, but decided to take the opportunity because sometimes you have to do things that scare you.
Found a bruise near my left eye as I was getting ready earlier this morning. Where the fuck did that come from?!
Oh, I know it, and I make sure he knows it too.

Oh well, itβs too late now. Itβs out there now. π€£
Taken earlier today. My boy player so hard outside, his hair was just out of control. π€£
So much darkness in the world, so hereβs a little timeline cleanse.

Taking my puppers for a walk is one of my favorite daily activities. Itβs a fun thing for both of us, but I love how much he loves it.
This torrential downpour makes me want to go home immediately, get comfy, and sleep.
I actually said no to someone today. It didnβt feel good, but I had to do it. The tiniest step forward.
I understand why.
Itβs not the football wife youβre thinking of, Iβm sure. It didnβt take much to be blocked by her at all.
Not sure if this super counts as a celebrity, but one block that Iβm most proud ofβ¦ A football playerβs wife got pissed at me when I said her joke about trans people wasnβt acceptable. She blew up at me, and when her followers told her she was overreacting, she blocked me. π€£
Seems like such a silly thing to block someone for honestly.
In fairness, I also donβt know what day it is most of the time.
One thing about doing a show is that I have no idea whatβs happening with the Sabres anymore. π Apparently theyβre doing well.
I know I have to sleep, but I just donβt want to.
Some people have zero ability to do some self-reflection, unfortunately.
But I got through today and I did okay! I will play with it more, but people seemed happy with it, so thereβs thatβ¦ My confidence and sense of self as a performer has been absolutely shattered this year, so Iβm hoping I can find myself again with this show.
Just got home from rehearsal. Today I was terrified because we were working on my number, and Iβve been struggling so much with myself as a performer this year because Iβve been failing a lot. Itβs scary to walk in a room with complete rockstars and Iβm just this pile of laundry thatβs given upβ¦
