I started this channel to talk about things that are important and meaningful to me. But over the course of the years, I have experienced too much harassment, bullying, and objectification on this platform. In 2021 I decided to put this channel on the back burner, only reposting some content that I create elsewhere.
Please check out the other platforms on which I am more active. :) The links are below.
I have been one amongst your very first subscribers and have been following you since then. These documentation of your decisions and the outcome certainly shows the uncertainty of every decision we take. That is life. Best wishes to you, and best wishes to all fellow mates who are still trying to be complete in themselves, yet feel that emptiness from the gap between the dream we dreamt and the reality we are living. Hopefully we will all get to see our circle meeting the starting point too!!
Don’t give up yet. Life might present an opportunity differently. Keep an open heart. you might be able to live your passion in a different way. you are lucky that you have another skill to fall back on, Finances are really important. All the best.❤❤❤❤
No judgement, Do whatever makes you happy. Trying is important, you did that. At Least you will have no regret in rest of your life for not giving a chance to your dream.
You may have quit trying to pursue traditional acting, but your dream job is waiting for you to discover it. It's all about finding the right niche to apply your acting skills. No one needs to go the "traditional" route to anything. I recommend a great book called blue ocean strategy, (the simultaneous pursuit of differentiation and low cost). Have fun and brainstorm a new way to apply acting altogether. Get REALLY creative! It's better to be a big fish in a small pond, than a small fish in a big pond. You can do it!
You are very eloquent, I wish I could put all my thoughts into such beautiful sentences as you do. I do a tech job myself and I love it. Though I have seen a lot of my colleagues whose passion lies somewhere else. But they never give it a shot because of fear of losing what they have now. I think what you did takes courage, firstly leaving a safe job for your passion and then coming back to it when the dream job didn't quite work out due to various reasons. Both decisions show that you are secure as a person, don't seek too much external validation and have the guts to do what you think is right.
Hey Urvashi, Yaar what I have experienced in my life until now is that this “gift” of existence is all about living experiences. You studied in US (experience lived), u did tech in US (experience lived), u did acting (experience lived), u experiencing tech now in India (well another experience). Life is bhaari boring if u end up doing same thing and not have different experiences. We will all end up in the same place after this theatre of life…..so might as well enjoy movie by experiencing what this “gift” has to offer. We don’t expect anything from u, u don’t owe us sh**. We are here to see this human going through existence and figuring it out. Lots of love and wishing only the best for you❤
Absolutely love your practicality. Love your eloquence. You do you! We don't have many examples out there like you. Have been following you since your 'Why I left the US' video. Have always been a fan of how organised your thoughts are and how firm your convictions are. Knowing when to quit is the real strength. More power to you!
As long as it was a fun ride, I'd say it was a win! You are back in a stable tech job and you gave your best trying to succeed as an actor. I'd say you don't have to have any regrets.
I'm an actor and writer myself, and I can confirm that every single word of this video is true, and very relatable. Nobody really knows what the real struggles are for an actor or artist, both financially, as well as denying oneself any break or vacation, because what if you were to miss "that call" that could change your life etc etc. It also hurts that the general perception of actors is that it's not a real job, and not a respectable one at that. Nothing is worth more than peace of mind and more power to you for finding it for yourself, in whichever field you've chosen.
You inspired me in so many ways when you followed your passion, more so coz I thought you were the few who found peace and comfort in discomfort of living a rebellious life . Sometime it's the lack of support system that leads to such failures (a mentor as someone mentioned) I wish with your new found financial stability you continue acting as your side gig and hopefully do better as you have already had some experience. Wish you the best.
Manifest acting in your life. Find a mentor that can teach you everything about acting. Make a vision board and start executing on it. Best of luck 😊 I believe in you, you got this 👍🏼
Good post. It is good to share such hard realities. But do get into theatre along with your job. It definitely gives you satisfaction, friendship and many other things; but no money, mostly.😅
