“The New Phase” (serio-comedy) 1-2 Minutes

Photo By ECohen’s

Monologue Description: “The New Phase” is a serio-comedy about how a person needs to change from being a person who worries all the time to being a person who finally begins to take things easy.  We all get stressed out in life, this piece was inspired in order to bring about a calmness for ourselves in our lives.

Character Description: In this monologue, Audra talks to her sister about how she feels liberated by the choice she has made in her life to simply not take life as serious anymore.  Audra will continue to respect life but not take it so damn serious all the time.  Audra has changed gears from being wound up to being layed back and chill.  She discusses this whole new found revelation with her sister.

AUDRA:

It is.  Life is really, really good.  You know, I’ve always had the tendency to stress out.  hahahaha.  I would always take life so damn serious.  Tendra (audra’s friend) told me that I’m going to end up with a heart attack.  She’s right, she’s right, I will, so you know what?  FUG IT!  That’s right, FUG IT ALL. 

From now on life is one great big joke, even if the joke is always on me, I’m going to laugh along with it.  I just don’t care anymore.  I don’t care because if I continue to stress out over this that happened or that that happened, I’ll end up a dead woman.

I wish I had this mentality sooner.  Fug it.  IT FEELS GREAT!!!  I’ll just smoke a shit load of pot, drink a few beers, party with my friends and live life to the fullest. 

I care, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t care.  You follow?  I’ve realized that I am not God.  Not that I ever thought I was God, obviously.  All I’m saying is that I can’t control everything in my life all the time and I think by letting that go, by stop trying to control everything all the damn time, I can enjoy life so much more.  Really.  I feel it right now as I say this to you.  The only thing that I can control in life is myself.  Whatever happens outside of that, I have to let happen and have my faith in God.

What is meant to happen, will happen and I have to accept it and live.  What will be, shall be and I am okay with that for the first time in my life and it feels GREAT!
