When I think of my biggest fears, I think of two things: The front facing camera, and, well...this!
Will these configurations of various words explicate the who I am with the what I do? Will it deliver clear and concise answers on where I’ve been, where I’m going, and where I would like to be?
Certainly not. But still, we journey on.
So to speed things up, let’s try this:
Born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas → Moved to Lafayette, Louisiana → Moved back to Arkansas, this time to the quaint town of Conway → Moved to Los Angeles, California → Moved to Houston, Texas → Moved to New York City → Died an old man, surrounded by his darling and endearing family.
You spot the lie.
What I was doing in these various places:
Pine Bluff: Born → Lafayette: Toddled around → Conway: Discovered adolescence and adored (loathed) it → Los Angeles: Made millions as a Child Superstar → Houston: Mourned my failed career as a Child Superstar → NYC: Attempted to rebrand myself a Thespian, no one telling me how hard it is → Death: Staving off at every turn, it seems.
But, on a more earnest note, I do hope that this silly, albeit quintessentially me narration can offer you a glimpse into the many things that interest me, and the many skills and subjects that I hold great passion for. I think the true fear I have about inviting strangers and friends alike onto this forum is that I will appear unfocused, uncentered, and unable to “pick one,” as so many of us were forced to do when our childhood fell away into adulthood.
I believe there is immense beauty in being a “Jack of all trades, a master of none,” because I believe the varied interests of us all should be listened to and explored. I wish never to lose the childlike wonder of all the many things I hope to try and all the knowledge I yearn to amass. So, the takeaway should be that I am simply Drew: an Actor, a Singer, a Dancer, A Designer, a Writer, and so much more yet to be discovered.
