As an actor, the COVID-19 pandemic brought a lot of uncertainty and change to my industry. Productions were put on hold, auditions were cancelled, and the future of my career felt uncertain. But amidst all of the chaos, I found a silver lining in spending the shutdown with my husband at our lake house.
Our lake house is a stunning property with over 3,600 square feet of living space, not counting the expansive outdoor area. It's the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, and during the pandemic, it became our sanctuary.
Living in such a spacious environment allowed us to create a routine that felt comfortable and sustainable. We spent our days exploring the outdoors, cooking delicious meals, and pursuing hobbies that we had neglected in our busy lives before the shutdown. We also made sure to stay connected with family and friends through video calls and virtual hangouts.
As an actor, I used the time to reflect on my career and focus on self-improvement. I took online classes, read scripts, and worked on my craft in the privacy of our home. Being away from the distractions of the city allowed me to really hone in on my skills and prepare for future opportunities.
Overall, the pandemic shutdown was a challenging time for everyone, but I feel grateful that I was able to spend it in such a beautiful and peaceful environment with my husband. It reminded me of the importance of slowing down, taking care of ourselves, and finding joy in the simple things.
