Main Character

What makes you feel like the main character? I created a playlist that makes me feel like the main character! We are all the main characters of our own lives. Even though at times we may feel more like a side character. Let’s see…what makes me feel like the main character? Dancing in my kitchen to my favorite song! Dressing like I live in a big city when in reality I live in a small town! Watching the sunset. Going for a walk on the pier by the lake. Standing in my apartment parking lot at night stargazing…as one of course does after they take out the trash! Laying on my bed pretending I have a skylight to stare at the stars all night. Going to the beach. Of course listening the playlist which I rightfully named “I am the main character.” Especially the song “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” by Natalie Cole! Listen to it and tell me you don’t feel like Sandra Bullock in a 90’s Romcom!

I guess there are a lot of things that make me feel like the main character. We all should feel like the main character because technically we are! We all are the Sandra Bullocks of our lives! Isn’t that great? Who wouldn’t want to be Sandra Bullock? Have you seen “Speed?” Or “While you were sleeping?” If Keanu Reeves saved me from a speeding bus that was going to explode I would be ecstatic! Who wouldn’t? Ha ha! Also just…Sandra Bullock! So if you haven’t been feeling like the main character lately for what ever reason…do something that brings that feeling back. You are the main character and you deserve to feel like it! Dance in your kitchen, alone or with a partner. Have a picnic, stargaze in a parking lot or on a rooftop! Ah…stargazing on the roof is on my bucket list! Go for a drive, watch a sunset or sunrise! I am never awake for the sunrise unless I have yet to go to bed!

This year I turn 25! (Pause for gasps!) I know! I turn 25 so I am determined to make this year my own movie. I am not sure what genre it will be yet but it is going to be great! All I have planned so far is a 5SOS concert this summer and let me tell you! I am SOOOO excited! I always feel like the main character at a concert! My sister and I went to see THE HARRY STYLES last September and it was literally THE BEST thing I have experienced so far! We were also in a big city so you automatically are the main character there. We went downtown, walked around right before sunset and had coffee in the city square. Ummm…say it with me…”MAIN CHARACTERS!” We also stayed at an expensive hotel because why not? That was amazing and kind of overwhelming at first but we got used to it very quickly! Our room was even upgraded to one of the higher floors! Do we talk about going back every single day? YES! We are main characters just in disguise most of the time! But I say NO MORE DISGUISES! This is the year we embrace it and be the main character all the time! When you have your morning coffee look out the window mysteriously like you are contemplating a huge life decision. Make everyone around you intrigued by your existence. Be the mysterious stranger everyone is curious about. Because why not? We have one life and I personally don’t want to slip through as a side character. I want to experience all the highs and lows of a main character. Besides they have all the adventures! They are the ones that save the day. They are the ones on the poster. So be the one on the poster! It is your movie after all.
