Walking down the streets of LA can either make or crush somebody's dreams. It's a city full of dreamers, a city that says you have all the opportunities in the world to make something of yourself but in the end once you try everything goes to shit. But it gives you a reason to try again.
Unfortunately I'm stuck here. Stuck being followed by the multiple video cameras and paparazzi, being questioned on what relationships I'm in and what I do on a daily basis. I've grown up dealing with it.
Today was the day I had to meet with my long time manager Teresa to converse over auditions, upcoming interviews, and photoshoots. We have to have this meeting at least twice a month or I wouldn't be able to keep track of my schedule, I can be very disorganized.
I keep thinking about what possible films i'm going to be asked to do on my way to Teresa's house, but the constant honking and traffic made me too irritated to think about anything. Greati'm going to be forty minutes to an hour late for something that should've taken me a twenty minute drive. It's not like it hasn't happened before but it's still something I should be more aware of. I hate being late.
"Hey T, i'm stuck in traffic once again...yay. I'm still about forty minutes out. Sorry, love ya!" I left a voicemail apologizing. This is the third time i've been late for something in the past month. I have no idea what's going on with me.
After sitting in silence for some time I turn on the album Norman Fucking Rockwell by Lana Del Rey, it's one of my favorites. The cars in front of me barely move an inch, while different music from surrounding cars blares in my ears. The curse of being in LA traffic with a convertible I guess. I get back to thinking about what could possibly be in my career future. I keep getting asked to be in either rom-coms with the same plot as any other one in the world, predictable crime shows, or action movies with no absolute purpose. None of that is me. I want something real, something that people will take me seriously in.
My whole acting career has been people telling me the only reason i'm even in the film industry is because of my parents. That I have worked for nothing. I can't say they're wrong about the fact people have known who I am from the moment I was born, but when it comes to my career i've worked for every minute of it. They don't know how many directors have rejected me from my auditions, and how hard it was to even get on my first commercial. Yes people know my parents but my mother has never been a single ounce of help, and my father died before he even got the chance.
