Man I miss this ... I miss being on set.. I miss learning lines... I miss every aspect of acting... it’s truly a blissful feeling for me
But with everything going on sometimes I trick myself into believing I’ll never get on set again, that I’ll never book another role, that my momentum stopped and the my window has closed.
The hardest thing about being someone who identifies as an actor is that the key to the “dream role” is, seemingly, in someone else’s hands. Hearing “no” repeatedly can wear on your moral and self confidence.. it can make you question your purpose and wonder if you’re meant to do this.. it’ll even make you devalue all the past work you’ve done thinking, “it wasn’t good enough to get me another job..” ... talk about a “criminal mind” lol ...the battle is constant!!!
But the TRUTH, is that I’ll go as far as I BELIEVE I can. My window is NOT closed. And that the keys are actually in MY hands, I’m just looking for the right door.. and when I find that door....OOOOH BOY!!!!
