I didn't get Picked

My best frend and I went together to audition for this western music competition but she got chosen and I didn't.

The same thing happened last year and I am feeling very depressed as I feel that how can she get chosen and I not.

Its not fair and its happening the second time even though I tried my best and reely wanted to get chosen.

What should I do to stop feeling bad?

In life there are many things that we want to do but just don't succeed at.

You need to look at things a different way, and if something doesn't work out, then it isn't meant to be. Obviously if you know that you tried your best, then you know that there is nothing else that you could do.

It is unfortunate that it was your best friend who got picked and not you, but she didn't do it on purpose, so make sure that you are a good friend and you support her and help her through it.

One day your turn will come. Just maybe not yet. Maybe acting/singing isn't for you, and you will find something that you are more successful at.

Or perhaps a role will come in something else that you are thought to be perfect for, and from them on you will never look back.

Don't let this down hearten you too much, and certainly don't give up. Keep on trying, like everyone else does! There's only the lucky fortunate few who everything seems to come easy to, the rest of us have to work at it!
