BA in Theatre

Mostly it's starving,
scraping pennies from car seats,
inventing ramen based meals,
thrifting for less dingy sheets,
working day jobs to support a lover,
thinking about food,
going nuts with peanut butter,
learning the words to "Hey Jude,"
calculating bills,
stretching bodies and wallets,
pulling out hair and pockets,
breathing emotional earthquakes,
forcing down potatoes and eggs,
working eighteen hour days,
having a dozen W-9's,
writing down a million miles of taxes,
memorizing and reading a thousand plays,
writing post-it notes to remember breathing,
blowing out adrenal glands,
exhausting emotions from top to bottom,
living in your car,
the power of naps,
knowing nothing will fit like a glove,
mostly it's all of these things.
But fully, it's love.
