Life, Unscripted, on the Rock

In Shakespeare’s As You Like It, Jacques states, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players…”

I’ve never been much of an actress. It certainly was never one of my strong points in high school. Somehow, I always got cold feet whenever I had to stand before a large group of people, and not be myself. (Come to think of it, I still do). It didn’t matter that I had a script to guide me. I’d still feel out of my skin.

Fortunately – or unfortunately – depending on how one looks at it, life doesn’t hand you a script, as my high school drama instructor was wont to do on occasions. Sometimes, it’ll feel like one is totally winging it, which can be fun – or frustrating – depending on one’s point of view.

Like life, here on the Rock. (For visitors who aren’t Jamaican, ‘Rock’ is simply another term for Jamaica.) It can be hard, or it can make you stronger. It’s all a matter of choice – and perspective.

Here, you’ll get a taste of my life, and life in general on the Rock, along with glimpses of my first love – creative writing.

All in all, it’ll be an adventure. Because life is just that, and more!
