Not surprisingly, during The Great Rough Patch of 2018, I acquired multiple prescription bottles (and multiple prescriptions) and - to be brutally honest - there were some times when I didn’t think I was going to get through “The Great Rough Patch of 2018”, but I’m making it through, so I had to follow the words the great and powerful Carrie Fisher and take my broken heart and make it into art. And a few trips to craft stores and dollar stores and I ended up with this. Also - fun fact - it was going to say “Live Through This” (because I’m an old school Hole fangirl), but there weren’t enough lowercase “h”s in the sticker pack I picked, so... there’s some insight into my creative process.... aaaaaanyway, here’s a piece of art that’s kind of dark, and more honest than my stuff usually is, but still pink and pastel and shit. #art #funeralwreath #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #honesty #takeyourbrokenheartmakeitintoart #pink #prescriptions #livethroughthis #livethroughit #longbeachartist #kindadark #roughpatch
I had margaritas spilled on me every night.
I knew I should have stayed for the tips but I couldn’t do it.
The moment my boss offered to cut someone, I volunteered. Always.
I couldn’t stand being there.
I wasn’t supposed to be there.
I was working as a waitress when all of my friends were living out their dream careers in LA or NY or Boston.
It felt unfair. How did this happen to me?
Have you ever felt like you were living a life that was never meant to be yours?
Don’t get me wrong, I have all the respect in the world for those in the service industry—it just wasn’t my dream.
At 23, I never imagined I’d be a full time waitress, living with my parents, with a fancy college degree.
I was on such a high after graduating college & competing at Miss America.
But quickly hit my all time low after going on what felt like hundreds of interviews & never getting an offer.
I went from the girl that had so much confidence in her future to depression & constant anxiety.
I grew up knowing I wanted to be in the entertainment industry: broadway, or the big screen, to being on TV as a sports reporter.
I was validated in those beliefs through others & various awards.
I defined myself by what I wanted to do when I grew up and when it didn’t happen, I was absolutely devastated.
So what happens when you work your ass off for your dreams & they just don't happen for you?
You don't give up & stay stuck.
I was introduced to @thesecret365 and my life began to shift.
I found other things I was passionate about.
I put my skills to use in other ways that made me just as happy.
And I'm just getting started.
