Unexpected Lessons

Overconfidence must have eaten its way into the heart of Female Celebrity (FC). All the while, she thought the announcement would be in her favor, but weeks passed and no callback ever happened. Then, one morning, the revelation was done and over, FC was not even considered.

Sometime ago, FC was asked about her feelings if she would be given a chance to play a major role in a forthcoming movie. FC replied that she would give it her all if she is granted the role. At that time and even until the last minute, talks were loud that FC was a shoo-in. FC was a public favorite and even showbiz insiders would volunteer her name without hesitation. Even a powerful network executive allegedly lobbied for FC for the role.

Unfortunately, all motions in her support went down the drain, as the bosses chose someone else. Of course, FC denied going through the attempts of trying out for the role. However, some claim that FC did audition, with matching scream and a promise of commitment. Although everything would now be water under the bridge, FC was subsequently asked about her thoughts on the Chosen One (CO). People quickly noticed she did not reply and did not even congratulate CO later on. Now, during her interviews, prior instructions are given to not ask her about CO and the role that got away. FC is still in shock, as the experience of rejection is quite humbling.

‘Learning lessons is a little like reaching maturity. You're not suddenly more happy, wealthy, or powerful, but you understand the world around you better, and you're at peace with yourself. Learning life's lessons is not about making your life perfect, but about seeing life as it was meant to be.’ – Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
