Day 9: April 20, 2017
Challenge: see a live performance
This challenge was a little tricky because I had to find a live performance within the time frame of the challenge that I could afford to attend. Lucky for me I have friends who are performers. Aside from that, this was one of the easier ones of the challenge because I love attending live performances. To me, it's one of the best things to do in the world: watch people share their souls on a stage. I love doing it myself, and I love watching others do it too. In spite of the seemingly simple nature of this task, I included it in the birthday challenge to remind myself to not make excuses to do things I love. I'm constantly creating reasons why I can't go to things, the biggest one being that people will judge me if I show up alone. Every single time I can remember going to a play or a concert alone, I've come away feeling like my soul has been fed, and I wonder why I don't go more often. Then the next opportunity comes along and I talk myself out of going; it's a little ridiculous.
Anyhow, I needed a reminder as part of my challenge that I love seeing live performances because they speak straight to my heart and make me feel very happy. I needed to document this fact for future reference so that I would no longer come up with excuses for not going to plays and concerts. I don't care any more if I have to go alone, if I've got a chance to go then I'm going.
