This is so real. So freaking real. I haven’t connected to a piece of writing like this in a long time. I’ve been pursuing acting for the past 10ish years of my life, and now that I’m into my mid-20s, I’m starting to feel the strain. Of not having a steady job, not having a decent paycheck, or not being able to have the freedom to live in the places I want to. I’m having second thoughts. Maybe it’s time to “grow up” and get a real job. I’m still contemplating it. But it’s so good to know that others struggle with this same problem. Thank you for this.
