Today (Saturday), I went to school at noon. We had a call time at 1:00pm for technical rehearsals. Hours had passed by and none of my co-performers were present. As each hour passed by, I had been losing interest in performing later on. Most people arrived on the hour that the programme started, except for one. No one knows where she is or what happened to her. As all these occurred, I was subtly convincing myself and everyone else to just take a rain check. But no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't excuse ourselves from the organizers. i honestly have never felt such lack of motivation in my entire life, as in I had no more enthusiasm for that performance. I had waited literally hours for my cast mates. In light of my previous experience, if I had not rehearsed properly, it would be best not to perform so as that I wouldn't make a fool of my self.
Somehow, we pulled-ourselves (minus one member) together at the last minute and managed to perform at least one song out of the two we were going to present. It just so happens that this song is my solo live song where the other cast members only sing in the end. We struggled outside the venue hall to ramble the roles and scripts due to the two missing members (one was excused while the other was just AWOL). Half an hour later, we decided to just go with the flow and do improv if we do make mistakes with the script (which we did).
So the minutes leading up to the song, we were stumbling on stage and nothing was going right. The music starts playing and I hit my first note. It was good! I swear. It was worth soldiering out. The complements I'd received were nothing like I'd received before. They didn't even know what I was going through. It just went to show that complements and encouragements do work, and you won't even. So note to self, or reader, generously give out complements when deserved. You lose nothing; you give out life.
