Beloved fellow actor friends: Struggles and frustrations are subjective, but if you catch yourself saying your work doesn't matter because you're not XX character in XX popular show, you need to check yourself and remember why you started doing this in the first place. (1/3)

You tell aspiring actors at cons not to do it for the fame, or just because they like anime, and that you have to really love acting. Make sure you're following your own advice. You are so lucky to be doing what you love. You are not a failure. MAKE what you're doing matter.(2/3)

I am not perfect, I find my mindset slipping sometimes, but it can be toxic to yourself and other people who are trying their best to make their dreams work out and keep their heads above water. We are not wrong or bad for feeling this way, but we can work on being better.
