What are you supposed to do when it's show week but you can hardly get yourself out of bed without crying? You persist. You tell yourself that the show must go on. You tell yourself that you have to because you are needed. You tell yourself that you would be severely missed. You tell yourself that you can do this better than anyone else can. You force yourself to get up and talk to the cast and crew. You stay quiet about your inner turmoil so the cast can vent to you about their show problems. Shows only last so long. So are these days where you struggle to even open your eyes in the morning. You persist.
