yes and no. first off, i would never bring a negative attitude into a room. i've always gone above and beyond and thanked god times a million every time i've had a chance to do so. also, i believe my unique perspective on this, and in life, AND some of my 'negativity' makes me an interesting and unique actor. also, i've tried to take many breaks and "save money". getting and maintaining any good-paying job is not an easy feat on its own, and most normal people struggle with just that, let alone trying to add acting on top of that. i get your points, but it also doesn't negate what i'm saying. why does the response to this have to include snark? no, nobody told me it was easy. just the opposite, in fact. i'm not stupid, i'm frustrated ;) i'm also not interested in award shows OR fame, neither of which i mentioned anything about in my rant. i'm also well aware nobody cares. nobody cares if you're sick and dying on the streets these days, because people have replaced compassion with cruelty during this soul-less Trump phase. still want to be an actor tho.
