Figuring it out, alone.
It’s not always as easy as it seems to be independent and to have to do everything by yourself. Life is hard!! I don’t come from much and when I mean much I’m referring to money. My family is my backbone when mine seems to be giving out and they hold me together when times are trying, when life seems impossible and when my heart feels like it cant take anymore. But if there is one thing I learn with each test and trial is that just when I think life is too much and all seems to be failing, it has it’s funny ways of proving to you that it’s far from over. Yes, when one door closes another opens. Cliche yes, but true.
I live in Hollywood. I am a actress. I work hard, I’m very dedicated to my craft and everything I surround myself with is positive. My line of work is tough, not to say anyone elses isn’t. To each is own. But I can only speak from my P.O.V and when I say tough I really mean excruciating. To be told NO on a daily basis while going from one audition to the next can make any person insecure, or feeling like a failure. If there is one thing for sure is you need tough skin to survive in this town. You see, I plan to survive and I plan to write about my experiences. You will get to see inside my mind, feel my heart and know my pain. In all the process you’ll also get to see me succeed. I DO NOT give up and I DO NOT take no for an answer. I must fight against the odds because I know that I have enough heart and smarts to out smart to doubter. It’s easy to critisize but it’s hard to do Art.
All I know is that I am figuring it out on my own and what I plan to do has only just begun.
