I'm so messed up in my head and I love to write and do YouTube videos and make recordings and digitally create albums with a distributor that is distributing them for sale on many digital sites but I haven't yet seen the fruits of my labor. Sure I've made a few bucks but that doesn't pay the bills. I think it's time to apply to the Lee Strasberg school of acting 12 week program! I want to reinvent myself as an actress who feels confident in performing in movies and theater. Once I transitioned from male to female I've become more artistic and less rigid and I feel I can do the acting thing if I set my mind to it as I don't want my son's NYS College Savings plan to go to waste because at this point in his life he's not likely to go to college and I was hoping he would but I'm only fooling myself because the NYS College Savings Plan wouldn't qualify the distribution for my going to the Lee Strasberg school of acting so it's only a pipe dream and I can't afford to go to the Hofstra school of drama so the money will remain for our son hoping he will eventually be ready for college even if it's Nassau Community College which technically is supposed to be free tuition according to Andrew Cuomo since it's part of the SUNY school system. I went there as well as my two sisters and we got a good head start with our education. I still would love to become an actress on the big screen.
