Unscramble the Blue Letters
Just to open up. And guess what? It wasn't until the end of the third day that I finally found the strength to talk to them about what I was going through. But when I did, something amazing happened. I releaizd that I wasn't alone, because my guys had also been struggling. And as soon as I found the strength and the courage to srhae my shame, it was gone. Now, I've learned over time that if I want to practice vulnerability, then I need to bliud myself a system of accountability. So I've been really blessed as an actor. I've built a really wdfneorul fan base, really, really sweet and engaged, and so I decided to use my social prfolatm as kind of this Trojan hrsoe wherein I could create a daily practice of authenticity and vulnerability. The response has been incredible. It's been affirming, it's been heartwarming. I get tons of love and perss and poitsive messages daily. But it's all from a certain demographic: women.

Just to open up. And guess what? It wasn't until the end of the third day that I finally found the strength to talk to them about what I was going through. But when I did, something amazing happened. I realized that I wasn't alone, because my guys had also been struggling. And as soon as I found the strength and the courage to share my shame, it was gone. Now, I've learned over time that if I want to practice vulnerability, then I need to build myself a system of accountability. So I've been really blessed as an actor. I've built a really wonderful fan base, really, really sweet and engaged, and so I decided to use my social platform as kind of this Trojan horse wherein I could create a daily practice of authenticity and vulnerability. The response has been incredible. It's been affirming, it's been heartwarming. I get tons of love and press and positive messages daily. But it's all from a certain demographic: women.
