Post: Do you know how overwhelming Acting is?

I’m so very lost in all of this. What is “this”? My career! As a future actress acting has become almost all of my life. You know it’s serious when a person spends hours in front of the bathroom mirror working on facial expressions (a very important part of acting) and said person is spending about 1 hour every day looking for agents and managers who might be interested in her? I can’t beleive how much of my life has become devoted to it. I’m already talking about is as a CAREER! I’m way too young for that too be normal. One thing i know is that this is way past being a hobby.
Do you act? Do you know how invigorating it is to give something your best? Have you ever expereinced the thrill of performing?
There are two different forms of acting: Acting for film and acting for theater. Acting for film is easier because you don’t have to stay in character for hours at a time. You can film one scene, get back focused and in character and then film the next scene. If you occassionally mess up they are capable of refilming it. Acting for Theater requires staying in character for hours at a time and if you mess up you’re stuck. But it’s got a different reaction from the audience. When you act for film you don’t get to see the audiences reaction as they watch the t.v. to see what you’ve done. But in Theater you can hear them cheering and encouraging you and it makes the extra work worth it. That’s not quite the same when t.v. shows like sitcoms have a live audience: then you can see the crowd to see their reaction but you still can redo things if you mess up.
Wow that was very long and I would go longer but i think i will spare you and let you leave now. The rest is completely pointless.
I warned you. Right now i am listening to Carrie Underwood’s song: Jesus take the wheel. It’s one of my favorite songs. It’s so beautiful. My pet dog is very very sick so he might die which means i may have to be all sad which i hate but i can’t help it. Does that make any sense at all?
Yes, I suffer from depression and i hate it! I have never had any “Suicide thoughts” or anything but it’s still awful to feel that kind of pain, sometimes for no reason.
Do you have depression? If you do i will tell you that suicide and cutting yourself will do absolutely NOTHING. It has no effect whatsoever. It just causes more pain to you and those around you. Suicide is the selfish cowards way out but it just causes more problems.
How are you? How are the wife and kids? [That was random]
