I just had the conversation with my mom about “oh I wonder what would have happened if Covid hadn’t happened, like where would my career be” and she basically said that you can’t deal in “what ifs” and you can only move forward in the life you have now. Love you!! You’re not alone in this feeling.

I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with these feelings - I think unfortunately this is VERY common esp for women and esp in our profession, but even knowing that it’s “normal” or that other people feel this way, it can feel SO isolating. I also think a lot of what you’re feeling could stem from grief as well - we grieve our loved ones but we also grieve experiences and potential futures and relationships, and that can color every other aspect of life. And i bring that up to say: grieving is hard, and painful, and takes time, and it is OKAY to take that time.

Ugh I know it must be hard, but don’t judge your whole story by one chapter. You’re doing much better than you think! Give yourself grace. And there’s still so many amazing things that will happen in your life. That haven’t happened yet 🙏❤️❤️

Oh pal. ❤️Here to be your big sister as a person who has rebuilt a few times. One story that I have, when I had just turned 26 (maybe 27?), I had accepted a full time job at a huge life insurance firm. Survival job while I was auditioning constantly. One day after about 5 months, I was offered a tour. It was a dream job, puppetry, a fun musical, all that fun stuff, but it was only a two month replacement contract and the pay was only so-so. I thought on it for a day, made the incredibly painful choice to turn it down, and cried in my car for an hour. I learned later that the tour was cancelled two weeks into what would have been my contract. Since then, I’ve realized that my gut instincts that had broken my heart had led me down the path that protected me ultimately. I’ve had a few of those same moments since then, and each have been a defining moment in deciding who I am and what I want. All that to say… you are doing so so well! And every place your gut is telling you to be, is likely correct.

First sending you a virtual hug. Second, it’s normal to feel that way and it can be frustrating. Third, you are already successful and will continue to do so.

I feel like this is so common in our industry. At one point I feel on cloud9 in a production and the other I’m bummed because I’ve been trying for years to book a tour and haven’t been able to. I know life is okay and that you’re making it but it’s also so valid to want more. I’m rooting for you love! I adore you and think you deserve the world! 🫶✨

I recently left my big boy, corporate job for something part-time, less pay, but far more fulfilling. I’m having a blast working there, but starting over in a completely new job is scary. But, it’s also more opportunity to grow into a better version of myself. Doors are being opened faster because I keep that attitude in mind and it truly changes my whole outlook on the job. Yeah it’s scary, but that’s where you thrive as well. Hope this helps, and I’m rooting for you!

Oh trust me, especially having just turned 29 two weeks ago LOL and being like oh my last year in my 20s I’ve been having TONS of thoughts like that and just feeling weird about the passage of time. I wish everything could just stand still. And I also am like would that little me be proud of me? It’s tough out here. But it’s only the beginning, I hear 20s is the new 30s 👀👀 keep going diva!!!

You inspire me & I’m so proud of you!!!! I can’t wait until you get to look back & are thankful for the waiting period, but I know how tough it is in the mean time. I’ve found that everything truly happens at the right time, & to always be grateful and praise God for rejections and redirections.

I feel that. That’s exactly how I feel. I’ve been on this journey for about two years. I thought I’d glow up and I feel like I’m just continuing to fail. You’re not alone.

I'm 56 and just started over again. It's not really about arriving but more about the journey and the experiences that journey brings you. I've followed you since way back in the OTF Waco days. You are doing amazing things. Be proud of your journey and don't let anyone take that pride from you.

My heart. Our journeys aren't always linear. It's ok to feel frustrated and lost, and I see you! Know that I see a hard working, loving, kind, and gentle soul who is deserving of the world. We receive, we learn, we grow. Love you 💖

Girl I constantly feel that. I feel like that in every aspect of my life. And that’s totally okay. I saw something that took the ages of sitcom characters from the 99’s(Friends, SATC, etc.) and they don’t know who they are at like 26-33 in season one. We all have a path to be who we can be and you’re right you maybe never will be the old you because you outgrew her and THATS TOTALLY OKAY. I love you, I’m always here for you and we should get dinner or whatever soon to talk more❤️

I feel this so much. It feels like everyone I know is so far ahead and I’m over here just feeling overwhelmed and invisible. But I’m old. You have so much time.

Commenting for support. 6 years on here and still growing slowly. 15 years as an author and still virtually unknown. I hope you find your way. I’ve loved your page and am frustrated for you that this place seems to randomly take people down a different way.
