What I’ve gained over the past year:

A few pounds (har har, fart)

Control over my anxiety (for the most part)

A clearer head and focus of what I want and what I’m capable of

Some really great friends

A lot of time with my family, which is the best thing in the world

Where I’ll be in the next year:

Back in the city that I’ll always want to be in

Auditioning (always)

Poor but happy (for the most part)
