6 months already?

hmm. so...
it's been about 6 months now. living in LA for 6 months. crazy. it's gone by really fast. 
when i first got out here. it was rough. really rough to be honest. as soon as i got out here, not even two weeks into it, i had some family stuff happen back home. which made being out here much more difficult to try to settle in when my heart was back in VA. 


BUT enough about that! things got better then worse. but you can't stop living life. i think that's been the hardest part out here. knowing that i still need to live my life as it is out here, even though i feel like i should be back in VA. 


Again...BUT. it is what it is. 
so im here. family's at home. what else can be said? not much. 


to be honest. this whole blog thing is not as easy as i thought it was gonna be. i was thinking, 'so simple! i'll just sit down every now and then and type how i feel or give an extended FB status update to people. everyone will be in the loop. it'll be fun, casual and entertaining!' NOT(said in borat voice) not so easy. and not so fun. i think the two blogs i have written haven't even been happy ones! ooops! 


so my goal this week, is to write a happy and entertaining blog...that even i would want to read if i didnt know myself! (does that even make sense)

all in all. im gonna suck it up. keep a smile on my face. be happy that ive been out here for 6 months. and write some happy funny shit. lets do this.

day by day

let me tell you...i still dont feel like LA is a reality. i'll be driving through west hollywood on my way to work and see the weho sign and think....'holy s+++!?" i live here?

i feel like it's so easy to just go through the motions of your everyday life.

wake up. make coffee. shower. drink coffee. watch the good morning america. get ready for work. drive to work. work. go to gym. come home. sleep. repeat. with the occasional audition/drink with friend/meeting thrown in there. you get so caught up with this routine that you don't realize why you came here(wherever you are) to begin with. did you come here to drink coffee, get stuck in traffic, and barely pay the bills? or did you come here to work your ass off to be all that you can be as an actor, creator and performer? it's easy to lose sight of it. but i think it's normal. as long as i doesn't last for too long, the phase of comfortability, and you can train yourself to step back and check yourself every now and then...you will get more accomplished than you thought.

to be honest...a lot of it is living in the present moment, enough to enjoy yourself and smile. to be happy with where you are at the moment. but at the same time...to look in the future far enough to have a goal/plan of where you want to go or what you want to be. then trying to make steps that you can accomplish when living in the present moment. little steps, not big ones. ones that can actually be accomplished more easily than "book a pilot." things that are attainable. make a list. and cross that s+++ off. it feels so good to cross stuff off lists.

sometimes i make lists and add some lines of things i have already done, just so i can cross them off. then when i look at my long list... i feel more accomplished and motivated. "hey self! look what i already got done! i can def knock the rest of this crazy ass list out sooner than i thought!"

these are just thoughts. my thoughts. i wanted to vent and write a little. thanks for listening. NOT(borat voice). reading!

3 Months In.

Hello All,
By all, I mean...hello to myself. Because somehow I am following myself on blogger. Ha. Leave it to me!
So to the few people that actually found this blog, by accident or by clicking on my link which I've probably posted on fb or twitter...Hello, and thanks for stopping by!
So let's just figure out who Kaitlyn is and what she is up to right now!
Basically...this is a quick introduction of who I am and what I'm doing with my life! DUN DUN DUN (you probably just read those three words...so you should scan back and sing them out loud id descending tones).
Now that we have that dramatic feeling...let us begin.
My name is Kaitlyn. I am 23 years old and am from the lovely state of Virginia. I am first and foremost a sister. A sister to my best friend Chelsea, she lives back in DC. I am also one of two daughters of my wonderful parents...who, like half of the worlds parents...are indeed separated. Shocker. I love those three people more than my next (gasp).
I am an actress, writer and director. Sometimes singer, dancer and model. Depending on my mood! I recently graduated from school, majoring in Digital Video and Cinema with a theatre minor. I made the move out to the wonderful yet CRAY city of L.A. (rhyme baby rhyme).
I have a awesome roommate, PK. We had a couple classes together in school but just kinda took a chance at being roomies and it's been BA! We've had a blast so far and it's only been three months! Super excited for the future!
Anywho...that's the deal for now. I am an actress who moved to LA. Like so many others in this wonderful world...but you gotta have faith that if it's meant to be it'll be. So I have it. Faith, that is. Or I try to. Don't we all?
I'm going to start posting on here and I hope ya'll like it. And if ya don't that's cool too:-) Thanks for stopping by, none the less!
