It's real.
It's justified.
It's not imagined.
I don't want to gaslight anyone who's going through that.
It's hard.
I would say, you know, my experience is like the gift and the curse are usually the same thing.
You losing your voice has made you so conscious of what you're communicating and how and the words you're choosing.
There's so many examples I can think of in my own journey where the thing that I thought was blocking me, if I just lean into it, it could unlock something.
And I would say to all of those people, the thing about you that's different is an obstacle in certain ways, but it's also the key.
And I would say, lean into the specificity of your experience of who you are.
You know, I went to Oxford university and felt very out of place there on many different levels.
My experience there taught me something, which is actually because I was thinking about quitting after the first month.
I was like, what the hell am I doing here?
Kind of had a mental health kind of breakdown almost over there and felt super depressed, super kind of like an alien.
But I kind of feel like now the place where you stick out, if you can, if you can find a support, if it doesn't hurt you, the place that you stick out is a place where you should kind of stick it out.
You have an opportunity of changing yourself.
The temperature in that room of bringing other people into that room.
I love that, man.
It was one of the first casting directors I ever met said, hey, nice to meet you.
Just be careful about your eyes.
