The Power of a Sonnet


Lately I've been feeling kind of depressed, I think it is because I really miss New York and I want to go to London to start the new year and go to school and start all the new projects I have in mind. Don't get me wrong being home is pretty good but here I don't feel like I have so many friends and most of my friends have to go to school, which by the way is pretty damn horrible here in Mexico, they don't have time to do anything!! There are several things that are contributing to my sadness but I don't want this post to be depressing so I'm going to explain what I found helps a lot to make you feel a little happier. 

One day I was feeling extremly sad so I decided to do something to get distracted and not think about how bored and sad I was so I laid on the floor and started doing vocal exercises that I learned at Stella Adler. One of the things we were supposed to do was pick a special partner and send them "HAS" and "MMM" which were imaginary thoughts that had to reach the person you were thinking about. So I started doing that and then I sent them(my partner were several people from my group at stella) my sonnet and after doing that for a couple of times I felt a lot better and motivated.

Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took,
And each doth good turns now unto the other:
When that mine eye is famish'd for a look,
Or heart in love with sighs himself doth smother,
With my love's picture then my eye doth feast
And to the painted banquet bids my heart;
Another time mine eye is my heart's guest
And in his thoughts of love doth share a part:
So, either by thy picture or my love,
Thyself away art resent still with me;
For thou not farther than my thoughts canst move,
And I am still with them and they with thee;
   Or, if they sleep, thy picture in my sight
   Awakes my heart to heart's and eye's delight. 

I hope you like it too and who knows it might help you in a difficult time like it helped me.
