Eventually I realized the lessons I was learning. Just to find happiness in everyday life and the people around you.
To be grateful for just waking up and being healthy. Breaking the habit I had of thinking I’d be happy when I got that acting job or that audition.
Knowing that the depression and anxiety I keep battling is only temporary. It is very difficult to even get an answer to a test or an email regardless of the actual job.
Besides many odd acting jobs, the truth is that I’ve spent most of my time working in a health food café. I felt defeated. I felt like a failure.
