Heart Strings

Hello Audience,

All of the leaves on the trees have disappeared and I am just waiting for them to blossom in the spring again. Watching something like this makes me thing more about change and how will I know when it is happening. How will I know what to do to make a bad change into good change?
One of my classmates in my drama class gave an amazing dissertation on pulling on your inner heart strings or inner emotions. What are inner heart strings? Well it is a metaphor for sympathy or empathy. You pull on these to get into character or to sympathize with someone in need. Sometimes it is very difficult to pull on these strings for different situations. This is because I always visualized that there are three different lengths of strings attached to your heart, a short, medium, and long string. Sometimes you can pull on the long one because you have experienced it and it is easy to pull on it and become that character that you were assigned to be, but then there is the shortest string. The shortest string is usually the string that you have to pull on if you have not experienced this emotion or situation before. This is the most difficult string to pull on and this string is probably the best string to pull on. This string helped me grow as a better person and helps me to figure out who I am. This little string is the most difficult but it is the most power full one I have and it is a life changing experience when you actually get a strong grasp on it and be able to pull on it so hard, that you actually become that character and be able to live like them and feel like them. It is one of the most emotional experiences I have ever gone through and I would never change it for the world.
Becoming an actor/actress opens up so many doors for opportunities and that are always difficult to choose from. At every occasion you have to be ready to choose a door and to pull on the inner heart strings to fit the setting on what is behind that door that, for some reason, caught your eye and pulled you in. These heart strings are what help good change, these
strings have helped me change and have made me stronger.
Learning when to Press Start is something that does not come easy and it will not come easy if you rush. Learning how to pull on your heart strings will help you reach that start button and help you choose where you are going to push start, who you are going to push start with, and where are you going to end up when you have pushed start. This emotional roller coaster will bring you places that you and others have never reached before and that is why my inner heart strings will help me reach there no matter what happens.
Yours Only,
