Dealing with Rejection
I was not what they wanted or what they were looking for at the audition. Man, I had a great audition too. I was more ashamed coming out of the audition room. With the people they liked, they were asked to read sides for the show. I was not asked to do anything. Instead, I was told “thank you.” A sign that they are not interested and my audition is over. So depressing. I wanted to cry because I put a lot of energy and hopes into this show. I wanted it so badly that I really could taste it. … and I didn’t get it. The tears welled up in my eyes as I got dressed back into my regular clothes. I started my 2 1/2 hour drive back home and passed a mall. Retail therapy time! I got a new audition dress and felt a lot better. Good call. As time has passed, I am still sad about not getting the great opportunity, but I am still moving on and forward in my career. Nothing can stop me.
