It always amazes me when people give me insults veiled as compliments. These “compliments” are given with a smile like we should appreciate what they are saying. I think it is time to educate the world, including close friends and even relatives. Below are a few of my all-time favorites.

So many people ask me what it’s like to be me. I know my life isn’t typical. While many young women my age are in college, I can usually be found shooting on set, auditioning, rehearsing or taking dance classes. (Photo by @leegumbsphotography)
