Sometimes I worry about if I made the right decision in coming to the city to pursue acting so soon after high school. I'll never actually regret making the decision to come out on my own like this, but there's always the question if I should have continued my education before stepping out and trying to make a name for myself as soon as I possibly could. There have been plays here and there, but it's not exactly as I expected either. Though, I suppose that could be a good thing too. I knew I'd have to work my way from the bottom up especially in a business like this.
I didn't exactly expect to go from high school and local plays straight to broadway, but then again I'm not really sure what I expected.
It's harder than I thought it would be. One day there are raving reviews and the next, no one would even dream of hiring you. It's up and down and that probably is what drains me the most. I have friends who tell me that's how nearly everyone starts out, but eventually they get their big breaks and it goes from there. I guess that's what I've been waiting for and assuming it should come sooner rather than later. My big break.
Though, patience is a virture, isn't it? Along with hard-working and perseverance. I'm sure those are up there somewhere too.
