But so far, her life has been an endless loop of failed auditions, of sleepless nights running monologues in the seedy apartment she can barely afford, of constantly comparing herself to the prettier, richer, better-connected actresses that she’s passed over for again and again.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e She knows her struggles will be worth it once she makes it big.
