Acceptance

I hate what I love, and love what I hate…and I’m ok with that. I’m constantly at odds with myself because my personality doesn’t always fit well with my passion. I’m an actress who doesn’t really like to be the center of attention or speak in crowds, and has a head FULL of self-doubt. There isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not scared of what I’m doing, but I keep coming back. Do you know why? It’s because it’s challenging and it pushes me. It pushes me to the dark places inside of myself that need work, and make you grow as a human being. There are a plethora of other professions that I’m well (and maybe even better) suited for, but there’s no excitement in them. I’m good at them and it doesn’t cost me anything. I don’t want a life where I get off easy.


Moments before I step on stage, I question my ability, my talent, and even my right to be there, but I keep coming back because I fucking love it.
