I suppose it's a good thing that I still don't consider myself grown up. Although the wife and kids may differ with that assessment.<br />To your quandary. You love your husband? You want to have children? I gather as much from this post. You're as grown up as it gets. As ready as you gonna get. Just do it. You'll be fine, but it won't be easy. Easy like you think it should be if you've figured it out. You want to be an actress? Be one. Or are you saying you want to be Angelina Jolie or Helen Mirren? Big difference. The odds aren't in your favor on that one. They ARE if we're still talking about being Emily Soleil. I've met you, seen you act. I think you are primed for that role. Be there for your husband. Have kids. Act. In community theater if possible; in Hollywood if it happens.<br />Good luck.mamalujohttp://www.paterphilosophy.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550196603664388451.post-16547401757820304002011-12-08T21:40:42.259-05:002011-12-08T21:40:42.259-05:00Thank you so much Shannon.

I get that maybe it feels like that isn't a practical ambition, or a proper one, or any of those million of things that people say about the dreams they think it would be easier not to have, but you want to be an actress. I get the feeling, both from reading this, and from having worked with you, that you need to act. You need to act like I need to produce. Because it's the thing that makes us feel best in our skins, most like the people we want to be when we are doing it. Maybe you'll take two years and chase your husband's dream, and then take two and chase yours, maybe you'll have some kids and act at the same time (as many people do), maybe you'll teach acting. But, just so you know, I totally believe in you as an actress.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803988086864526349noreply@blogger.com
