For the first time since graduation I am about to be unemployed. Now, I promise that isn't as bad as it sounds. I graduated with a degree in Acting and I have been sucessfully working for almost two years with no breaks inbetween. But for the first time since I walked across that stage, in 4 days I will not have a job...and I couldn't be more excited about it!!!
My Christmas contract is about to end and when that happens I will have 10 days to spend with my family and my wonderful boyfriend before moving to NYC! I actually can't believe I just typed that. So, I have been wanting to move to NYC since I can remember. When I started theatre I was 7 years old and all I could talk about was going to the city. I wanted my parents to vacation there SOOO badly...but I didn't get to go until I was 19 years old. And I didn't see my first Broadway show until I was 22. As soon as I stepped out of the plan I knew that it was where I was supposed to be. It's always been the dream and now after working professionally as a full time actress year round for two years I finally get to say that I am making the move!!! I have struggled quite a bit since graduation with not really knowing who I was. I mean, yes, I am Miki Abraham and I have been performing for 18 years (Woah...weird to see that). But I didn't really know who Miki was and if I am being honest I still dont really know... and I think that's why I am so excited to do be unemployed for a bit. I have spent so much time being onstage and being someone else that I haven't really been getting to know myself. I just want to eat good food, work as a waitress, take a yoga class, and go on vocal rest. Tis the season for auditioning, of course, but for the most part I just want to be me. This upcoming year is going to be really really exciting and I can't wait to see what's in store. take a breath. look around. hug someone. you're so lucky. be the change.
