RE: My First Stand Up Gig
Thank you Jill!
I always remember the time we were sitting at Robbie's house and you said something to the effect of that "no one is skilled because of 'natural' talent, they are skilled because of dedication and time".
That sentiment really rang true to me, and I try to apply it (amongst other things) in stand up as well :D <3
gawd, all the feels.
♥ ALL THE FEELS ♥
Wow, it's a pretty powerful feeling to know someone remembers and internalised something you said. Especially when that something is important to you. Thank you for that.
And yes, I absolutely stand by that statement. I'm seeing it over and over again everywhere. What I find interesting is that nobody doubts how hard a, say, a professional athlete trains to be at the top of his game. But when it comes to creativity, your skill suddenly becomes a "gift from god" in people eyes. It really irritates me, because I work so damn hard. XD haha
