Emerson Day 2

So yesterday was Day 2 of living by Emerson's quote. So far, it's going pretty well. Being able to say whatever is on your mind is incredibly freeing. Yesterday, I found out about my audition results from the previous week and I was very happy when I got the role that I wanted. Usually I would be very quietly happy about it, but yesterday I was able to rejoice verbally. It was also nice to be able to say to my friends what I really like about the show or what I really like about the role. Speaking what is on your mind tends to take away your inhibitions and not necessarily in a bad way! People tend to associate speaking your mind with hurting other's feelings, but it can also mean bringing yourself and others closure of a matter. More often than not, people also respond well to brutal honesty because it is better than being lied to constantly. Nobody wants to believe that they are perfect and live in a bubble, rather than believe they are imperfect living in the real world where they can make themselves better. Today will be interesting though, because I am visiting my dad's workplace. He works for a television company, so I cannot typically speak my mind if I don't like a particular show that his company produces otherwise it culd compromise my dad's job.
