The eloquent words of @kianamadeira , because I couldn't have said it better myself💚: Here's the thing about TIFF: it's a beautiful time of year where we reunite with the community and friends, where we can be the first to see extraordinary films and indulge in laughs, conversation and art. What's not to love?! After getting real with myself and having honest talks with friends, I've realized that TIFF can also be accompanied with anxiety, shame and judgement. Everyone wants to know what you've been working on, how your year has been and what you have to show for it. Basically, if you haven't spent the last 8 months on set, it's easy to feel unworthy. Guess what? Even if you HAVE spent the last 8 months on set, you can still have those same feelings. We're all just humans trying to succeed at what we love. We all fail, we all cry, we all have insecurities. IT'S BEAUTIFUL. So, whether you're the one at the party who's booked the last 67 roles you went out for, or if you're the one who's barely auditioning but acting is what you LOVE so you refuse to give up: WALK WITH YOUR HEAD UP AND STAND TALL LIKE A TREE!! We're all feeling the ups and downs every single day and we don't need to hide it. We're artists, feeling all the feelings is what we do best 😉 HAPPY #TIFF y'all🦋 . . #FilmFamilyCelebration #YoungHollywoodParty #Love #Tiff2018 #Art #Artists #Actors #Actresses #SamanthaCole #LeadWithLove https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnd7O-Bh9wl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g5oju4i7k6ga
