I can’t deny that it was incredibly stressful, but it pushed me through a period of self-growth, ultimately making me a stronger, kinder, more patient, and more empathetic person.
The best experiences I had in my van were all when I was learning stories. Every single person I met on the road was so unique and individual. They all came from significantly different walks of life, and it was fascinating to get to know each and every one of them. I was opened up to lives and experiences that I never would’ve known before. I slowly began to realize that our lives are all stories made of so many little moments compiled together.
Ultimately, I think the experiences I had on the road have helped strengthen not only all of my personal skills and traits but also myself as an actor. I find it difficult to embody a character without having much firsthand knowledge of the type of person that they are, but meeting such a variety of people on the road helped me get to the root of who everyone is and understand each character on a much more personal level.
