Preparing to start filming

While the assistant offered me instructions, the other actors began to arrive. Some stopped to grab a bite to eat, while others refrained.

For instance, younger actors and actresses seemed to avoid eating, perhaps due to an effort to maintain a certain physique or simply out of nervousness.

In my past life, especially during my time on film sets, this was a familiar reality. The pursuit of maintaining a weight or body deemed "ideal" often caused significant suffering and vulnerability, opening the door to physical and psychological illnesses. Many resorted to all sorts of diets and grueling routines, often without guidance from qualified healthcare professionals. In many cases, the lack of financial resources made the support of a proper team unfeasible, leading to painful sacrifices.

Thinking about this reminded me of a dear friend from when I was a singer.
