Welcome
What is this?
It’s a YearCompass—your very own YearCompass, to be exact.

It is a booklet that helps you reflect on the past year and plan the next one. With a set of
carefully selected questions and exercises, YearCompass helps you uncover your patterns
and design a great year for yourself.

The booklet has two distinct parts. The first half will help you review, learn from, and
celebrate the year you’re leaving behind. The second half, on the other hand, is all about
the future. You’ll be dreaming, planning, and preparing to get the most out of the new
year.

What do i need to fill out the booklet?


A pen or a pencil, a few hours of uninterrupted focus, and an open and honest mind.

Can i do this in a group?


Sure you can! Grab your friends, print out booklets for all of them and find a comfortable
space. Everyone should fill out their own YearCompass, but you can take breaks to discuss
the exercises and share your thoughts and feelings.

If you do this, please be mindful of your companions’ boundaries. Everyone should only
share things they are comfortable with.

Going through your calendar
Go through last year’s calendar week by week. If you see an important event, family
gathering, friendly get-together or a significant project, write it down here.
1/8 - went to Montreal on a whim, stayed in a beautiful AirBnb, had lots of physical and therefore mental
space to rest and start applying to new jobs and agencies. Went drinking with Adam and co.
1/11 - started taking improv classes at Second City (hungover from Adam's birthday). Enjoyed meeting
new people and feeling like I had a space, at least once a week, in which I could play and let go.
1/21 - Crow's Theatre General Audition; performed the sandwich monologue at 10:10 in the morning
1/22 - IKEA delivered furniture five hours ahead of schedule which sucked but once you got over it, you
built yourself a dresser, and the room you've been living in finally felt a little more complete.
1/25 - Bella Agency meeting (yikes)
2/3 - M2 Meeting (double yikes)
2/12 - coffee date with Lorie
2/26 - dinner with Rachel at Bar Vendetta, one of the few times I've gotten to catch up with her solo;
haven't seen her be as vulnerable since
3/1 - Bullshit-ass fucking hell-on-earth diarrhea-inducing Ace Hotel Open Day; then you worked an
open at N'wood, left at 7:30pm, and got dinner and drinks with Ash and Niels.
3/5 - Annabelle Pasta Bar and the sad-ass ragu dinner with the full gang of gals (Mel + C + C); so much
hope for the future and better things.
3/6 - went back to Saudi for a week or so. Cordial time with the parents. Not much yelling or conflict
ensued. Nice change. Business class was clutch.
4/26 - THAT night
5/2 - 10:10 in the morning is the only time I am allowed to audition for big, important theatre
companies. I remember Ari throwing my headshot and resume on the ground after finding out I had
learned "I Am Adolpho" from scratch purely for that audition. Franklin Brasz complimented my natural
ability to create rhythmic "groove"/connection to the music or something to that effect ("I can tell you
play the drums"). I don't quite remember but they were very nice and I was on a high after that audition
because I have never felt like I left an audition having done everything I could've done.
5/4 - flew to L.A.! for Analisa's wedding. Re-connected with Alexys, Katharine, Kalen, Julia, and Lily.
Like stepping into a time warp physically and emotionally.
5/9 - journeyed to San Francisco by myself; Grindr hollowness and a very small YOTEL room; didn't love
it, should've just stayed in L.A. a couple more days
5/15 - dodgeball finals and a fun drunken tryst with Danny. Unfortunately I still think about it from time
to time.
5/21 - baby shower anxiety, mid-day Aperol Spritzes, into evening social with to-be football team
5/24 - Noah came to town for visit!
5/31 - unsettling, debasing, never-again interview with Robin (why are all the bad people in world named
Robin) at Little Sister
6/13 - couldn't get a shift at Asshole Hotel covered and missed my final improv class of that session
6/15 - ADHD diagnosis in the day, hell shift in the evening
6/17 - got fired!
6/20 - first day on medication, applied to Trillium - nice dinner at Le Baratin with Niels, Hannah, Ash
6/24 - impromptu trip to New York with two job offers in hand
6/25 - got a $37 rush ticket to see Titanique on Pride

Six sentences about my past year
The wisest decision I made...
Speaking up in work situations where I was being used or abused.

The biggest lesson I learned...


People are FAAAAAAKE. Your coworkers are your coworkers. Do not get drunk and start talking shit.

The biggest risk I took...


The obvious one is saying yes to the Stratford gig. The bigger one is opening myself up and being
vulnerable in my attempts to seek intimate pleasure. I put myself out there this year. And I also didn't do
it enough. Even so, that's risk after risk after risk.

The biggest surprise of the year...


Again, Stratford is the obvious one. But if that offer hadn't come through, the biggest surprise of this year
is how little certain people will mean to you after your shared circumstance with them passes. People
really are seasonal.

The most important thing I did for others...


Was showing up at their parties and being present in their lives, even when I was tired/didn't feel like it.

The biggest thing I completed...


Having all of the equipment at long last to film self-tapes.

Six questions about my past year
What are you the most proud of ?
I am most proud of how far I've come when it comes to my own self-sabotage and self-doubt vis-a-vis my
merit/talent/employability as an actor.

Who are the three people who influenced you the most?
I am trying to not answer this question in a negative way, because I definitely have a top three people who
fucked with my juju this year. I am actually not quite sure who the three most influential people to me
this year were.

Who are the three people you influenced the most?


I am not sure how to answer this either! Hmm.

What were you not able to accomplish?


I was not really able to go on the dates and have the romantic/intimate relationships I've been craving.

What is the best thing you have discovered about yourself ?


To a fault, I am unable to be dishonest or to hide my true feelings about something/someone. I have also
discovered that I love playing.

What are you the most grateful for?


I am grateful for the few close comfort friends I feel like I can always lean on. It fluctuates week to week
on who these people are, but I am grateful that I feel stable enough with myself (could just be the
medication) to not feel like I need 500 friends around me all the time.

The best moments
Describe the greatest and most memorable, joyful moments from last year. Draw them
on this sheet. How did you feel? Who was there with you? What were you doing? What
kind of smells, sounds or tastes do you remember?
Not sure why this one immediately sprung to mind, but the Friday evening shift immediately after
getting off the train from Stratford and buying a new iPhone was truly euphoric. Analisa's wedding—and
the day that preceded it, getting to hang out with Lily and Julia—that was fucking fun.

There were definitely some fun (drunken) nights of work at N'wood. Nico was there. Graeme was there.
Pete was there. People of my past, but I'm glad to have shared some nice memories with them, even if I
can't ever imagine doing all that again. The smell of essential oils and wood that had seen ten years worth
of life is a core memory of mine.

There was joy in going to New York in June. Reconnecting with the need to be an artist, watching my
friends perform, and seeing them live their life with art as their work, watching theatre that aligned with
what I want to be doing—absolutely enlightening. I realized art and music and theatre and comedy is my
calling, and no version of myself I would be comfortable with in hindsight would exist without it in my
life. It's a practice, and an ongoing one.

Table of 3; as fickle as this friendship "grouping", let's call it, is, dinner at Banjara, drinks at 222, watching
the Cats movie, being able to hang out and connect with like-minded people was lovely. Smells like curry
and Chardonnay, rainy day pad see ew and Boulevardiers, orange zested shock at Judi Dench's wedding
ring. I felt like myself. I didn't feel small or shriveled. I felt like I could express myself openly. I didn't feel
like I had to feign interest in what someone else was saying. I didn't have to go through the motions.

Doing my in-person audition for Stratford (pulling it off with such a tight deadline and literally learning
a new song from scratch) and having Ari throw my resume on the ground at the shock that I had learned
that song specifically for the audition was such an affirming moment. Preston told me to "bet on your
talent" and that was the moment I finally began to believe it. To have the sound waves of my voice
reverberate in that big beautiful room, to finally use my voice as intended, and to have it be in front of
the people I wanted to see it—the universe was looking out for me. I'm glad I sent that submission email
despite it not being in line with the "rules".

Even though it felt lonely at times, being in Edinburgh by myself was super energizing. Not sure if it was
the city or it was just the novelty of travel, but to be somewhere outside of routine—it did so much for
my brain. Being back in the U.K. in general—I didn't yearn to live there again the way I thought I would
—but I left knowing that a return was possible. The moments of greatest joy was quite honestly the
moments I was by myself, alone, where I felt like my brain was on my side.

Three of my biggest accomplishments
List your three greatest accomplishments from last year here.
1. Still having the drive to audition for theatre and getting myself seen by a few theaters... turns out I only

having it squeak in right before the holidays—double thumbs up, my dude.
2. Figuring out my ADHD diagnosis and feeling like I had control over my life again; having real tangible

List your three biggest challenges from last year here.
1. Constantly being on thin ice with work lolol

Forgiveness
Did anything happen during the past year that still needs to be forgiven? Deeds or words
that made you feel bad? Or are you angry with yourself ? Write it down here. Do good
for yourself and forgive.*
I forgive all of my coworkers and managers who felt like I couldn't continue working with them. It sucks
sucks sucks to feel like you don't belong/can't belong, but at the end of the day, everybody needs to trim
the fat, and sadly I was the fat on a few occasions. In the long run, it doesn't mean much. I can forgive all
the people who were nice to me and talked shit about me behind my back, because I've done the same. I
accept blame for the ways in which I misbehaved and was not the best employee/friend/person to be
around. Life is hard, and I don't do cocaine.

I have improved a bit in this regard, but I still wish I could wake up in the morning bright and early, and
have the ability to go to bed naturally. Addiction to my phone feels like it could be replaced with a few
tweaks here and there, but I am still figuring out what those small things are. Reading literature about
ADHD has proven to be incredibly useful and affirming when I don't feel like I can get on top of myself.

* If you don’t feel ready to forgive yet, note it down anyway. It can work wonders.

Letting go
Is there anything else you need to say? Is there anything you must let go of before you can
start your next year? Draw or write, then think about it and let it all go.
This is going to sound so fucking corny but—I want to let go of my need to push for things. Things don't
happen when you push; things happen when you allow.

I am letting go of my need to be liked by everybody. I have tried and I have failed. So what's the point?

I am letting go of my need to stay connected. I invite the beauty of my own company.

I want to let go of my drinking habits. I am going to form a healthy relationship with substances. I will
only drink when I feel that I am in good company, not because my dodgeball team is.

I let go of my need to show up for people who I don't feel like showing up for.

I am letting go of all of the things I've kept unsaid.

I am letting go of feelings of "stuck"-ness. When you feel stuck, what are you going to do? Pick up a pen,
write 3 emotions you're currently feeling. Take a nap. Drink some coconut water. Go outside. Make a
plan. Go somewhere. Money can buy (temporary) happiness.

Dare to dream big
What does the year ahead of you look like? What will happen in an ideal case? Why will
it be great? Write, draw, let go of your expectations and dare to dream.
This is the year of my career. This is the year where all of my dreams and ambitions to be heard are going
to happen. I am making my Stratford debut, but it's just a job. It's a paycheck. It's not the
be-all-and-end-all. I am simply introducing myself to my future.

This year, on a micro-level, I am going to set aside time every day (like I did over the summer) to write.
Write write write. You're a performer, but you're a writer, and you this is the year you make it your
practice, and therefore your purpose. Being heard isn't just about getting onstage and making people
laugh; that's self-serving. Being heard is articulating exactly what it is that you think that you don't think
anyone else is thinking—or articulating something on behalf of someone else—in a way that is going to
make people listen. This year, writing is going to FLOW.

This year, I am going to book a lead in a musical. People are going to be thinking about putting me in
their next project. Jonathan Krisel is going to call me and ask me to audition for his new Portlandia
reboot, one where there's non-white people in it. I am going to be onstage, and then on set, and then
back onstage again. By this time next year, I will be ready to make moves and go for the O-1.

This year, I am going to have a lot of sex and learn what I like and maybe discover some things about
what I do/don't like.

When something is challenging, I am going to take a deep breath, take a break, go outside, AVOID
GOING ON MY PHONE, and then get back to it.

I will draw energy from being around other actors and performing artists. I will draw energy and clarity
from moving my body and exercising regularly.

This year, I will be the bravest when...


Having hard conversations that require a tough skin. Friendship breakups/family matters. Tough
moments have to happen in order to move forward.

This year I will say yes when...


I am called to collaborate and it is something I am passionate about or involve people who fill my cup.

This year I advise myself to...


Be healthy and fit. Regular exercise/sleep. Restrict dopamine/alcohol.
Put yourself out there. Be vulnerable. Seek rejection.
JUST DO IT. PUSH THROUGH but also JUST LET IT HAPPEN.

This year will be special for me because...


it's the year all the haters and doubters will eat their words
just kidding
I have a clear path that I am able to take; don't get complacent.
This is year will be special because a lot of my core needs are met, so now it's about building unwavering
habits to last the next little while.
