Chapter 1:
     
    Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to act. I wanted to be famous and a star. I know, it sounds a little too impractical, right? There are thousands and millions of girls in this world who have this same vision and dream. But I knew that I would be able to achieve my goals because I was not like any one of those girls, I was different.
    I was born in a small town in Maine and my parents thought that I would be just like them. They wanted me to live on a farm and grow up with the same values that they had provided me. I loved them immensely, but my idea of the future was entirely different than theirs. I wanted to act and be in movies. I wanted to play some of the most iconic roles that have been ever written for an actor. I wanted to be remembered and leave an everlasting impression on this world. I wanted to travel it all and do everything. Everything.
    I wanted to have my best chance and I knew that it was definitely not in Maine. When I turned 18, I realized that I had to move out and live my life. The road ahead was tough and I knew that it would an uphill climb. I would be all alone and chances were that I would have to struggle a lot, maybe for the years to come without getting any rewards at all. But it was a risk that I was willing to take. I knew that in the end, it would be worth it.
    I left my home and bid goodbye to my parents. They thought that I was losing my mind and was chasing something that was never meant to happen. The entire town thought that I was being possessed. There were not able to comprehend the dreams that I had for myself. I was not born to stay on a farm for the rest of my life. I was born to be a star. I knew it. I could feel it running in my veins. I know that everyone thought that they are special and you know what – maybe, that’s true. We all are irreplaceable and are born to serve a purpose, maybe be my purpose was to act.
    There were times in my life when I used to second think every action of mine. I was not sure if what I was doing was right or not. My parents and friends used to think that I was making a mistake. But what was I supposed to do? Live my entire life with full of regrets. What would I tell my kids or their friends – that you should never take a risk in life because of your fear of failure? No. I knew that it was a path that I had to take. I could come back home and be a laughing stock for the entire town, but it would be worth it. At the end of it all, I would have no regrets. There were plenty of bad things that could have happened, but that one great thing was worth every risk.
    I got admitted to an acting school in Boston and decided to build my circle around. I was pretty good with it and was getting appreciated by people all over. I used to audition for plays and small roles in ad commercials. There was a friend of mine who used to run a YouTube channel and was pretty big there. He made me cast in a viral video that gained more than a million views. I became a small celebrity in the blink of an eye.
    That was my first encounter with fame. My Twitter and Facebook were flooded with messages and notifications. In a week, my follower count was increased from 500 to 82,000. Yes, that was big. The video was all about our perception of beauty and I had to convey everything from my eyes. My natural blue eyes were able to do their magic and made me a local celebrity in just a day. I was gaining popularity with every passing day and landed a few roles in plays as well.
    As I finished my acting school, I realized that if I really wanted to be successful, then I have to move to LA. It was the place to be and if I have come so far, then I have to go all the way. I finally took a leap of faith and moved to LA in order to find my place in the city. It was the city of dreams and the hub of entertainment. As I looked at the iconic “Hollywood” sign when I landed in LA, I realized that I was in the right place at the right time. I was coming to take over the
