Emotions, My Power & My Kryptonite

I'm sure you have watched Superman as a kid or perhaps even now as an adult.  Then, you know that Superman's power is his super human strength and of course you know, Kryptonite weakens him.  Well, my superpower & my kryptonite are my emotions.

Emotional power as an actress allows me to feel everything, I feel the soaring of a bird in the sky.  I feel the lines on the paper.  In Acting, I am the character when I'm on.  I've taken training to be more in tune with my emotions.  It is what drives me in my career and in life.  It is why some people are attracted to me and a very, very, very few are not.

I grew up singing through intermediate school and high school.  Then I took a hiatus and started production studies.  I directed my first project at my University, for GMU News.  I also edited the broadcast.  It was great.  I loved the opportunity.  It was part of the STARS program.  Thank you to all my friends there.

Anyway, I digress.  Where was I?  Oh yeah.   Emotions, My Power & My Kryptonite.

With my emotional superpower, I can tune in to people's emotions so much so that I take them on.  So I've had to learn how to shield myself from them.

I always root for the underdog.  At times I feel I am the underdog
when my emotional power is at odds with my Kryptonite. There are times where I can't turn it off

and I can't stop it from seeping through my entire being.  It holds me like that red ray holding Superman back.  I stay in it and I get weak.  I get emotionally weak in all senses to the point where my body gets weak.   I can't think.  I can't move.  I can't get up.

I'm learning to control my emotional power, slowly now.  I try to walk away when I'm feeling weak, which is all the time.  I sometimes wish I could shut it off completely.  I didn't ask for this superpower.  But since I have it, I wouldn't have it any other way.  It is my #GIFT.  I am THANKFUL for it.  I have to use it, I need to use it.  I need to express myself constantly.


Most importantly I've learned, with Great Power, comes Great Responsibility.  (spidy sense)
