There's a place I go that makes me happy after 2 minutes of being there, a place I feel accepted and welcome where I get on with everyone, where I've made some of the best friends and met some of the most talented people I've ever known. It's called WBOS. We all auditioned to get in so we all know we're half decent at singing, dancing and acting and we'll all on a par, no-one is up themselves and everyone gets on really well.
Every time I go, I hear the beautiful sound of amazing voices singing solos and together with perfect harmonies and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
This weekend has been an amazing one, a dress rehersal and 3 shows, with 2 standing ovations which is unusual for a concert. We didn't stop, chorus number after number. It was such a good weekend, so much fun, so many laughs - and tears - and memories I'll never forget!
But there always comes a time to move on. And this is our time. To move on up into the big wide world and get our lives back, get them the way we want them. There is so much we can do now, but I don't know whether that will make it worth it. I'm so sad to leave, I don't know what I'm going to do with myself on a Friday night now!
It's going to be hard because I've known life when I've always had a time at least once a week, sometimes 2 or 3 times a week where I could go and have an amazing time and forget about life and be myself without worrying about anything else, just for a little while. Now I don't know that and I'm going to have to get used to it, get used to not having a little free time without worry.
I'm so sad to leave. But I've had the time of my life.
So thank you to all my best friends, all of the WBOS people who have made the past 4 years the best of my life as I know it. It's changed me. Changed me in so many ways and "I am who I am because of you". Because of WBOS.
P.S. Goodness Gracious Great Balls Of Fire!
