Me describing all the projects I've gotten in touch with by being in theatre: It's a whole bunch of creative people in the area, all gathered together, and you get to know them really well. It works for getting new projects!

My mom: it only "works" if you get paid...

Me: I mean... I need the portfolio work too, right now. Obviously it's not as good as getting paid but it's still good. And I am getting paid for the mask project, and for the new Beauty and the Beast makeup...

My mom: Hm. 😒

#why tf does she always have to do this #every time I express any sort of passion or excitement for the work that I do she just finds a way to murder it #I mean seriously what the fuck is it going to take for her to see this as a legitimate thing???#and then she talks about 'oh I can't wait to be invited to your movie premiere/awards ceremony someday!'#like bitch you're not going to get invited if you actively shoot me in the foot and try to kill my passion for the career at this stage #you don't get movie premieres without low-budget portfolio work first. get this in your goddamn head. this is the first step
