This felt deeply familiar. I had my own version of this story about a decade earlier trying to break into film/tv— cold emails, interviews, that particular mix of hope and fluorescent-light reality, the “any job” job (long distance phone service).

That line — “you’re either spiraling up or spiraling down” — feels truer and truer the older I get, though this season of my life looks more like a spiral inward toward myself than a straight line “up.”

Beautifully said. Totally agree with the phrase feeling truer with each year. Going to unpack that truth more next week!
