Decide what to be and go be it

Dear Scott,
I had my first day of improv at the Groundlings today! It was an absolute blast. Tina Fey once said, "I was so sure that I was doing exactly what I'd been put on this earth to do, and I would have done anything to make it onto that stage. Not because of SNL, but because I wanted to devote my life to improv." Although I am aware of the long road I have ahead of me, I'm starting to appreciate the meaning of that statement.

I heard this song last night when I was watching the Grammys. I loved the tune so I downloaded the song, and as I listened to the lyrics, they resonated within me. This song reminded me of you and your beautiful soul, Scooter Pie. You epitomize my interpretation of this song- someone who was once scared of what the future held, but decided to face the music, to dance in the pouring rain. To name you a hero would be an understatement. I honestly don't think I would be here in Los Angeles living this dream if it weren't for you. This song, once again, ignites the inspiration you have given me to follow my dreams. Below I posted some of the lyrics as well as a youtube link to the song. Hope you like it, angel. I love you and miss you more than you know.


There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right
And it comes in black and it comes in white
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it

When nothing is owed or deserved or expected
And your life doesn’t change by the man that’s elected
If you’re loved by someone, you’re never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it

There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it


Until we meet again,
Liney
