Before the 12th grade I never liked theater much.I never even considered acting.But after I acted in a school play I got used to the idea but I still never understood acting..not till now..
I finally understand what acting is all about.I can finally feel what it means to me.Acting,being on stage for those few minutes let's me forget myself.It lets me live in another man's shoes.It gives me a chance to hide myself from the world and yet let the world see me.
When you feel like your life is hell and you dont want to live it any more,when you wish you would just burn out,acting let's you live.It lets you die and let's some one else's personality take over.
It's like masking your scars,finding satisfaction in pretension.Even if your character has to die on stage,you cant help but envy the fact that he has such a short life span.He comes,his miseries are narrated and enacted and he dies.You die but yet you live because once the show's over and the curtains fall and the audience goes home you're back to being yourself.
To go home to crtical parents, false friends,dreaded books and disturbing thoughts can be so enervating.To be yourself can be such a pain.Acting lets me forget myself.In a nutshell,acting is- 5 minutes of peace before a lifetime of isolation.
