It's hard living on my own and providing for myself; its difficult. But it's not impossible. It's difficult to be a successful actor in New York, but it's not impossible. It feels impossible to get yourself out of bed after breaking up with the person you've invested years into, but it's not. It's difficult.

Though it is the wash of light that warms you after feeling consumed by darkness; that strand of possibility, I have to say that it's not enough. We cannot just hope that things get better. We cannot just hope that things will change. We cannot just hope to be different from what we are.

Let’s start today with a cup of realness. We are overworked and underpaid, overbooked, and under pressure. We are overdue and underwhelmed. It is what it is at this point, lovers. That being said, what are you doing to stay resilient? Just barely making it into the weekend will do nothing for your ability to healthfully start the next week.
