Work
I know I've been away for a long damn time, but a lot has happened personally last year and this year. As I'm waiting to clock in for the day, I'm sitting in my favorite spot backstage. It's under a beautiful tree, kinda hidden, no one is ever there when I am, and it feels nice to feel transported to anywhere but work, and sadly that's what Disney is now, work. It's magic has faded and the joy that I had is gone. Each shift is a drag and it's hard to make working here feel special or fun. Unfortunately a lot put me in this mindset, and most of it are the managers who in the end only care about making money and not memories. But i will persist and try to make my fellow cast members happy because a lot of em feel the way I do. So as long as I have this spot under my tree hidden away from work even for 15 minutes I'll keep trying to be magical, even on days where I feel like I'm running on empty. Stay magical fellow CMs.
