[WE95] The best accident of my life.

Among so many accidental good moments in my life, today I want to talk about the best one.

Year 2015, my life was a mess, every day I started a battle against laziness and lost, so I slept an extra hour and ended up being late for work. Venezuela was a chaos for employees, my salary only covered part of my basic needs, I lived alone, and it was difficult to make ends meet, everything was a drama that intoxicated my head, very little I left home, I stopped hanging out with friends, in my free time I preferred to sleep and watch TV and then repeat the endless cycle.

As a teenager I was trained in singing and acting workshops so I am very given to performance and spectacle. One day I was called to be part of an artistic movement with a series of public events to support local talent, I was quite disappointed with these initiatives in my city because at first they worked hard in a fundraising campaign and then faded in time and silence without fulfilling the mission.

On Friday, I remember, I went to the appointment without any expectations, I found myself in the hall with some colleagues in the arts, we sat down to talk until they started the session, in short, they wanted to create a vocal ensemble (choral singing) with a repertoire of classical music and they needed voices of all ranges, I really didn't feel like putting on a formal suit and singing in churches and solemn ceremonies, in my experience, all these programs are subject to last minute changes and the pay is not good, the phrase "for the love of art" applies. I wanted something more Mtv, rebellious, rock, pop culture, Madonna, breaking protocols, choreography, outlandish costumes, climbing, screaming, feeling, flowing, singing and performing solo... and levitating. All this I wanted was not an option.

I pulled out from my deepest innermost most diplomatic personality, I approached the organizing team and congratulated them for this great initiative to boost local talent and a lot more flattery came out of my mouth, at the moment I committed to participate, but my idea was, later on to give excuses to evade. I was invited to a Karaoke, I was not in monetary conditions to go for entertainment, and with those people who seemed bored, less, I shut myself in, I become mute, introverted and monosyllabic. I was told that the drinks were courtesy of the team, and I accepted, if the panorama became annoying at least some free drinks.

With the drinks I became uninhibited and late at night I stood up to sing Miguel Bosé songs, I received a standing ovation, I drunkenly sang a whole repertoire of Latin pop music hits, and one of the organizers approached me, he told me about his long international career as a show producer, and I skeptically, as drunks tell the truth, I told him that I had no intention of participating in his projects because I was not stimulated by this type of events, we changed the subject, we laughed, we connected, we exchanged numbers and everyone went on their way.

The man called me the next day to tell me that he had written a character for a musical based on me, we met, I read the proposal and I was fascinated, I had my doubts, but seeing him directing, and working on the sponsorship plan, made me see his professionalism, today he is one of my great friends and the play was carried out, It was the first musical play box office success in my city with pure local talent, and I emphasize this, because before it was only contemplated as community theater, for a play to become a box office success in my city it had to have a cast of artists from abroad, famous for appearing on television.

That night began my work as an artist, I participated in many shows of this team, it was a very pleasant time in my life and it was all thanks to an accidental night.

Thank you.
