Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently?
The blog topic today has brought back many memories to me of a time when I was a lot youngr, very shy, and inexperienced when it came to boys.
I was 19 years old at the time and had gone to see the band Hunters and Collectors at the Old Greek Theatre in Richmond with my friend Tessa. We were both studying primary teaching at the time, and Tessa was a mature age student from New Zealand.
Throughout the concert I noticed a cute guy of about my age , and he noticed me too but because we were both shy and awkward we watched one another alot but never got further than making eyes to one another. This young man was at the concert with Steve Jacobs, a young Melbourne celebrity around my age.
I thought nothing more of this missed opportunity but happened to be watching breakfast television 📺 when the movie The Year My Voice Broke was being launched. My jaw dropped when I saw that cute young guy from the concert .it was Ben Mendelssohn, and that movie launched his career. Had I not been a shy awkward teenager how different my life could’ve been if I had been brave, instead of shy. I have long followed Ben’s career, and he is definitely a good actor renowned in his younger years for playing awkward young men. It is the only thing I lament about my past,that I was too shy to strike up a conversation. If I could go back to this time, the thing I would do differently is talk to him and take that chance. How different my life could’ve been.
