Wow, have you ever had the feeling that you are casted as a support character in your own life? The minor bad guy that always dies, The faithfull side kick which never gets the girl, The silent narriator, The very unreliable City gaurd? That every event you are in are souly to help out another dawn onto an understanding of something dire in order for them to evolve as a better person while you just sit idlely to be handed your next role and script? Prepared to toss off the character like am old wardrobe and start fitting into the next at a moment's notice.
Probably not, Most people usually get tossed a main role in Drama once or twice in thier life.
On the contrary, I just seem to get support after support. Don't get me wrong I sure I've my share of leading roles. But I seem to be to used to the small parts because I feel the main parts would just waste the time of those who attend the matenee.
I really come to realize this when a group of friends I made in college where sharing stories. All the stories I told had only to do with my fiends before and none I could actually call my own.
The role that been recently thrown at me is of the Oblivious man. One I'm actually not for doing. I'm really not sure my presece is even noticed by the people I hang out with. Like the town fool with one line I stand around and listen mostly speaking to 4th wall when I actually do get my lines out...
Usually I was content with these little parts because I at least felt usefull, but recently I felt that my ability aid has completely died. Being helpfull is what I loved to do with out it i'm at a complete loss.
Self reflecting on this concept put my nevers in a body bag...
