It’s really hard to face that or experience that. It’s very scary.’But ultimately I think I’ve decided that the grief is worth it because the constant grief of feeling unvalued, unwanted, unchosen and scared is more harmful,’ she added with a laugh.She later explained what she meant in a statement to Just Jared, and insisted she’s ‘not quitting acting.”I wear my heart on my sleeve, especially on social media, I value authenticity and that’s what I aim for, so I think people are essentially witnessing my mid-30s existential crises in real time,’ Rambin told the outlet.’Couple that with a very dry sense of humor, which has always been my preferred coping mechanism, and sometimes the lines between satire and sincerity get a little blurry.’Anyone who’s in this industry knows it can be an emotional roller coaster, and I think there’s something funny and human about acknowledging that.’But no, I’m not quitting acting. At least not today. Ask me again next week,’ she added.Rambin got a lot of support in the comments with one follower writing, ‘This is so real for anyone who’s poured themselves into a career that just doesn’t fit them anymore.
