Mostly Brooklyn, but for the last 2 1/2 months I've been at my mom's in South Carolina where we’ve kept up our Christmas tree because who cares? But, as you're reading this my girlfriend Justina and I are driving back to Brooklyn.
2. How are you staying sane?
Well, I'm not entirely sure I'm staying sane. I keep wanting to accomplish things that I have yet to accomplish. BUT being with family, game nights with friends and my brother, doing shows with Sweetheart, and accepting that I am not going to watch or read or do everything is how I'm trying to stay sane. It works most of the time. The rest of the time I try to remind myself to count my blessings.
3. What do you miss most?
Going to the theater and the training center. I loved being in shows, sure, but I miss watching shows more. I miss seeing people. I miss going up to the 10th floor for a class or practice. I miss seeing the sweet people who worked at the theater and the training center. Nothing I've done this last 10 months has sufficiently filled that hole.
4. What don't you miss?
I am hard pressed to find anything about the Magnet that I'm happy to not be dealing with.
5. What do you want to say to the other members of the Magnet community?
If there's anything we've learned over the last year it's that things are better when we're together. It may be some time before we can physically be together, but we can be together in spirit. All the stuff we heard in April about how there's no perfect way to get through a pandemic is still true. Don't beat yourself up for what you haven't accomplished. You matter and you are more important than how well you live life.
