Love me some attention

Daily writing prompt
Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech?

I’ll tell you a little secret in case you haven’t already figured this out. I love attention. Always did, probably always will. All kinds of attention. But let’s not go there.

I was not shy to be on a stage even as a kid. I got a small role in a musical in about Grade 5 I believe. I wasn’t singing, not even really acting but I had to pretend to be this little old lady.

In high school I opted for the English class that was more of a Drama class. It kind of sucked to be honest. I wasn’t into it.

As an adult I seriously pondered joining adult drama groups a couple of times but it never got past pondering. The people in them always seemed weird to me. But maybe that’s where I’d fit right in and don’t want to believe it.

I’m not afraid of speeches but haven’t made many in my life. I was the class Valedictorian when our Grade 9 class finished junior high so I gave a speech for that. I gave the Eulogy at my Gramma’s funeral.

Most recently a nomination speech for my friend Eric who was running for MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly) in our constituency.

    Well, I also love attention (even though it’s mixed with anxiety), so I can understand you perfectly 🙂 I guess we all love attention here on WordPress… Keeping my fingers crossed for you to join an adult theatrical group 🙂 I’m sure you give great speeches!

    1. Lol thanks, I’m not even sure if there is an adult theatrical group here anymore but maybe I’ll keep my eyes out.

  4. I love this reflection…and I’m curious whether you still ponder adult drama groups. Maybe you just haven’t found the right one yet?

      Appreciate you reading and commenting…I would consider a drama club of some sort but I really don’t think there is one where I live…my city is very small and very remote lol

  6. Your teacher missed an opportunity with an English/Drama class. Too bad! That could have been very fun! Fun to learn more about you.
