The weather in Toronto has been absolutely amazing. Unlike the May showers, June is proving to be lots of sunshine and beautiful skies. On Wednesday, I decided to head to the Beaches after my rehearsal. Had a really nice stroll along Queen and plopped myself at one of the parks and just read.
I purchased a cheap bamboo mat and simply enjoyed listening to the sounds of summer. I can’t remember the last time I had enjoyed time like this, just reflecting, thinking and most of all relaxing. A lot of the uncertainty in my life and career still remains but taking a break from Asia is really what I needed.
I think its so easy to get caught up with work and more work but I admit I started feeling a sense of entitlement with everything I had worked so hard for. As grateful as I was for these opportunities, I wish I could appreciate the people around me more. During my time in Malaysia, I’ve been blessed with great producers who are always trying to get the best out of me and pushing me to perform at my optimum capacity. I know I left a great life/lifestyle to come to Canada to push for more but I’m happy that I’ve taken this break.
This break has made me realize how lucky I was to have such great opportunities and it has also helped me realize that I should stick to my gut feelings. I landed one of the main roles in an upcoming series, which I can guarantee will be a force to be reckon with, and have managed to book a few commercial jobs already out here. I’ve got a great agent who believes in me and will keep pushing for me until I get there. I’m onto my third acting course out here while I’m on the waitlist for my fourth. Everyday feels like a step closer to achieving success and I can’t wait to share my stories when i head back in September for my best friend’s wedding.
Will cross my fingers to see if I can squeeze a season for one of my shows and perhaps this break from Malaysia will be the best decision for my career after all! These beautiful skies are having an impact on my thought process and I’m going to keep pushing forward as best I can.
I’ve got a packed weekend of scene work and next week will be another busy week of meetings, classes and work. Ooooh I can feeling the energy in my bones that something good will come this way! 😉
Have a great weekend guys!
