Sometimes I get down about myself when people I've worked with get to do fancy things at fancy places. I know this is illogical. I know that another person's success doesn't have to mean my failure. I still think it.
But THEN I think I've been pretty lucky so far. Considering I'm a bug eyed minority woman with a mild case of adult acne. Who's built like a Jonas brother. The one who'll probably never marry or date Taylor Swift.
I mean, considering that, I've done alright for myself.
Then I feel better.
Then I eat ice cream.
Then I watch Center Stage and feel better about my acting.

Yes. I know and agree and hear you. Except the part about Centerstage. I haven't seen that.
It is the most difficult thing to grapple with mentally, this Totally real and authentic joy for someone's success coupled with the "Why didn't they even call me in for this project?" feeling that you can't help avoid.
P.S. You HAVE done well. And you ARE built like a Jonas brother. And you WILL marry Taylor Swift one day.
I believe in you! I believe that for everytime you feel this way, there are at least three people feeling this way when they see you do well.
Also, WHEN you marry Taylor Swift, Kanye won't say a damn word to that poor girl anymore. Hooray for outdated social references.
I like what Alex said. You have funny friends.
Totally agree it's hard to believe what we know is true - we can all have success, but still...ice cream usually wins in making me calm down about it.
