Write. Read. Act. Repeat. 
Sometimes in my life, I've felt as though I'm seconds from breaking. And as I get older, these occurrences happen more frequently. My mind darkens, and I feel the rest of the world slipping away from me, as that same darkness eats away at me. It makes me feel isolated, alone...like there's nowhere in the world that I can really turn to. But then I remember those three things tethering me to earth- I could feel hated, I could be isolated....But these three things remind me of so many things in their own unique ways.
Such as there's always company in books. "We read to know that we are not alone." -William Nicholson. In my eyes, what Nicholson was saying was somewhat genius. We relate to characters, we are there with them through their endeavors reminding us that we're not alone in what we feel. 
With writing, I'm reminded that I do control the story, even if something seems impossibly out of my reach. Even when my life seems out of my hands, by writing it feels as though I get a little bit of my freewill back. 
Then...acting. With acting, we don't have to fit the mold of who others make us out to be. We can be whoever the hell it is we feel like being, whether that's at fifty year old psychopath, or an up and coming rock star. 
My "about me" blurb, or speech, or whatever it is you might want to call it might seem irrelevant, but to me it makes perfect sense. Reading, writing, and acting aren't just hobbies- it's who I am. It's what I've become- what my life has become. I will never give up, because (not trying to sound narcissistic or anything) I know I can make it. And I know will because these are just not passions. They're necessities. I breathe literature and usually think in terms of third person as if I were writing a book while doing something as simple as doing the dishes. Don't discourage me from anything. Because I promise, that I can prove you wrong.
