When I first bookedGeneral Hospital, I was so grateful and appreciative.

It felt like the world aligned so perfectly.

I auditioned for Trina when I was 16 years old.

I made it to the producer session with Sydney Mikayla and two other girls and Sydney booked the role.

She did an amazing job with it and made Trina such a lovable fan favorite.

It was cool and surreal.

I felt so thankful that they were sympathetic and so understanding.

I felt so grounded and so grateful hearing from them.

I dont think they understood how much that meant to me.

My castmates/friends, both within theGHfamily and beyond, were also so supportive.

They all rallied together and shared such encouraging words.

DO NOT give them your power by accepting what they say.

Dont stoop to their level.

Thats what haters want.

Dont give them the satisfaction.

I know what social media is.

Peace around the world for generations!
