Yup, that's right! It's the day you all celebrate my anniversary!
WOOT! WOOT!
Three years ago today, The Pirate Queen walked the aisle with a mere mortal punk. My life has not been the same since. And that's a good thing.
How has it changed?
Well I lost 5 pounds in my diet. Thanks for asking.
I've also lost half my body weight in ego. I am not my sun, I am a circling satellite. Accepting light can come from others is a pretty big thing. Especially for me. I used to be my North Star striving to burn every other world with my radiance. When I was in school I quit theatre after the epiphany that I was not chiseled from Hollywood lead steel. If I were to continue acting, I would only ever fill the roles labeled "character," not "star."
"The winner for this years best supporting actor is Ro—"
"Screw that, give it to someone who thinks lesser of themselves!"
My ego was brilliant, but the Queen changed that. Yes, you all owe her a great debt.
It's not that I feel smaller or less amazing, it's just that I've found someone who shines brighter, who is more deserving. Someone who makes me want to be accountable.
So today, do what
you do to celebrate us. Party in our honor, and when you do, remember that in her light I'm reflected as a better person. And that's something we can all be thankful for.
