Miranda Schossler

The conversation started off as normal with hellos and such before her tone took a slight shift; “Are you guys are at the Rock Hall yet? the first time I really new how bad Coronavirus was going to effect us; I remember joking with attendees at the event about the virus.

So to all of my dear friends, colleges, cast members, business owners, family, associates, partners and more –

Some are strange, some are funny, and others I think are expected; but if you’re considering The sober lifestyle, these are a handful of things that you can come to expect and know from my personal journey. I think people hate being the designated driver in the group; when you drink, you don’t have to take responsibility for anything – in reality that’s a lie, but try telling that to your drunk best friend at 3 AM. When you’re drunk I’ve learned that people try just a little bit too hard… they tend to push limits just a little bit too much.

In that conversation I remember voicing something I had never said out loud before; “I’m a black sheep.” If you’re a black sheep, then be a black sheep; but never just be a sheep. and you try telling this to my brain at 4 am when I’m stressed) that the reason people don’t tell you things is because you’re not as important to know. I’m not saying it’s an excuse, because it’s not.
