My life is, by every objective measurement, very very good.
And in spite of all of that, I struggle every day with my self esteem, my self worth, and my value not only as an actor and writer, but as a human being.
That’s because I live with Depression and Anxiety, the tag team champions of the World Wrestling With Mental Illness Federation.
I hated Wesley as a kid, for most of the reasons Wil has detailed in various places over the years, and also did not like Wil because of the association.
That changed after reading some of his posts from the early 00s. I’d gone specifically to laugh at him for being a failure and came away a big fan of his.
I credit Wil’s blog for helping me grow as a human. I got his books as well. Very good reads all of them.
Yeah, it’s a strange feeling having a dislike for someone then realising how absurd it is and that they’re actually a pretty cool person, He was a pretty good actor too by TNG standards, I think that his character was more believable was part of what made the bad writing stand out so much.
