Goodbye Expectations

Whenever a newbie is asked why he/she entered the local entertainment industry, the common answer is the desire to alleviate the family from poverty. Talent, looks, creativity, and personality will, thus, be the investment in attempts to reach the goal. While talent can be developed, looks can be altered, creativity can be honed, personality spells the difference. Even the less talented ones survive because their personalities hit something with the audience.

Attractive Actress (AA) managed to fit the criteria and after receiving breaks, she can look back and say that she has a successful career. Like previously mentioned, AA entered the business to help her family. Although AA has managed to keep her family away from the public eye, helping them was her priority when she was starting out. Consequently, her family fully depended on her.

After sometime, AA realized that enough is enough. Given that competition is hard these days and projects are scarce, AA might not be as financially viable these days. Besides, her partner, who belongs to a well-off family, is not giving her money, as they are not yet married. Feeling the pinch, AA had to be smart with her money and thus, she no longer sent money to her family as often as before.

One day, a relative called AA and asked if she could send financial help. AA freaked out and told the relative that they should start working and stop relying on her for their survival. As AA was no longer sending support, the family had to dispose of early investments, such as land and apartments. This time, they had nothing more to sell and AA was contacted. The conversation was not pleasant, and from then on, no one from her family bothered to call her again.
