In the realm of comedy, finding one’s true comedic voice is a journey filled with challenges and revelations. For me, there was a particular mindset that held me back for a significant period of time—the “Lo Que Pasa en Casa” mentality.
The “Lo Que Pasa en Casa” mentality refers to the idea that certain things should be kept within the confines of one’s home or inner circle, not to be shared or expressed openly. This mindset had unconsciously seeped into my approach to comedy, making me hesitant to fully embrace and showcase my unique comedic perspective.
I found myself censoring my thoughts and jokes, fearing that they might be too outlandish or different from what was considered the norm. I was worried about being judged or not fitting in with the expectations of others. As a result, my comedic voice remained stifled, unable to fully emerge and shine.
However, as I delved deeper into my own growth as a comedian, I began to realize the limitations of this mentality. I understood that true comedy comes from authenticity and the willingness to take risks. By holding back, I was not only depriving myself of the opportunity to reach my full potential but also denying the audience the chance to connect with a genuine and unique comedic voice.
It took a conscious effort to break free from the shackles of the “Lo Que Pasa en Casa” mentality. I had to challenge myself to be more courageous, to trust my instincts, and to let go of the fear of being different. Slowly but surely, I began to allow my true comedic voice to emerge, unfiltered and unrestrained.
Looking back, I see how the “Lo Que Pasa en Casa” mentality held me back from fully expressing myself in comedy. But now, I am grateful for the journey of self-discovery and growth that has allowed me to find my comedic voice and share it with the world. It is a reminder that in order to truly excel in any creative field, we must let go of the limitations that hold us back and embrace our authenticity.
