Hello Lovelies! How are you? How's the weather? How's school? How's work??
haha!
Right now it is 11:47pm on a friday night and I am suuuupppppeeeerrrrr tired.... and yet I can't seem to fall asleep. Don't you just love when that happens?!
So upon having barely opened eyes and the day literally minutes from being over, I decided it was a perfect time to blog something I have been meaning to blog for a while!
AND THAT IS>>>> Cue the drums.
Our Impact on all things.
The other day, I was walking to meet my dad on campus and I passed by a guy that I had in one of my dance classes in the previous semester. We did not really talk when we were in class but we definitely knew of each other. When we were moments from passing by, I gave him a little smile and he automatically said "Hi" in the happiest way ever. I could tell that he remembered me and even though the moment seems like such a random and pointless moment to others, I got such a wonderful feeling in my stomach because even though I thought he would have no idea who I was, he did.
Side note: The theatre and dance department at UNC literally has the most nicest people you will ever meet. I have made more friends with people from that side of campus then I ever have. I have yet to meet one person that is not positive and welcoming. You go theatre students you go. (that was a semi Mean Girls reference..... and it was lame.. haha sorry.)
On the same day of my crossing paths with a fellow dance student, I had my semi-annual dentist appointment. Now I know what you are thinking... Why are you comparing a dentist appointment to something positive. Just wait its coming. My nurse had just finished cleaning my teeth and I was waiting for the dentist, and then all of the sudden a different nurse comes to my station and remembers me. She said, "M'lyn, how was your audition?" (For those that don't know, I went to a Disney audition back in june and I was super nervous about it). I was dumbfounded. How did she remember this, it was literally 7 months ago that I was here talking about this wonderful opportunity and how I didn't know what I would do about it. I started talking to her and telling her all about it and she told me she was excited for me.
This moment was so crazy for me. When you go to the dentist you never know who is going to be your nurse and you do share stories with them. But the fact that this wonderful lady remembered me after seeing many more patients in-between really warmed my heart. You think that a simple event, one that many others go through, would just be another day of having tools overtake your mouth, but this time it was a moment that I will cherish forever.
You thought I was done with my stories.... Well after this one I am! haha!
I work on campus in the Graduate School with some amazing fellow students, and the other day my friend Laura that I work with was telling me that she was talking to one of her friends about me. She was showing a picture that I had just posted and she told her friend that I am so nice and sweet and that she should get to know me. Well the twist is that I actually kind of know that person! She is in one of my online classes. So although we have never met in person, she still was able to remember me.
This moment was cool because when Laura was describing me, she was saying nothing but positive things. Something that I really strive for is to make people happy and for them to see that I am genuine and positive. When she told me this story, I was feeling super content and proud of myself. I have had so many hurdles that I have had to face and I feel like through it all I have never lost sight of who I was and who I wanted to be.
Moments are something that we all don't realize are important. Now of course we know moments are good, but sometimes we think these moments are more simple than they really are. These 3 things that happened to me made me realize that we truly are able to make someones life different. Our presence is enough to make someone feel impacted by us.
I hope you find your times and moments of impact because I am sure you have many.
UPDATES:
Tomorrow is Day of Dance!!! AHHHHH (Well today haha.. its 12:13 am). I am so crazy nervous. This is my first time perfuming with my new dance group and I don't want to let them down! Carissa put me in the front and while I am super humbled by it I am definitely feeling the pressure! We have been having some timing issues and I just want to make sure that I am on point when we perform!
I have released my new "Business" if you will called Filmography. I have been filming Carissa's classes and its been going really well! Carissa has so much faith in me and really believes I could do this for a real career! I have no idea if it will be something that I make my career but I am definitely having fun with it! God knows whats best for me and I am just excited to see what he puts in front of me!
Tomorrow after Day of Dance, the project that we have been working on will be meeting again! Its almost time for it to come to life and I am definitely going to be sad when its over! Its always fun to have something fun and new and I am just appreciating it every moment I can.
Thats all for now,
Keep being the awesome person that you are because other people will take notice!
Until next time,
XOXO,
