I don’t think my preferred solution would be to “exit”, so much as maybe “slowing the roller coaster down”… though I do know the exit is there, worst comes to worst. I love what I do, but I know it’s okay for me to draw boundaries with what is and isn’t acceptable for me to do at any given moment.

It’s also not all bad. I’ve had incredible opportunities to travel and see the world, and my castmates have become family to me. This is not me saying “woe is me”; this is me being real, and drawing a line for myself as Alex Rochon the person, not Alex Rochon the “public figure”.

It sucks to feel this way too because, like, I LOVE this job! I love playing Caine, and I love the rush of playing all sorts of new characters, telling their stories, and seeing how people empathize with them. I’ll be okay; I’m too stubborn to quit. Things just need to slow down a bit.

This isn’t even a “haha digital circus fandom bad” thing. In my opinion ALL fandoms are bad because the internet, by design, enables all sorts of zealotry and narcissism. “Fame” affords me a lot; more than most people can say. But also I need to maintain a healthy distance from it.

I love my job. But I don’t know if I can handle another project I’m cast in being as big as Digital Circus again. Sometimes I think I just want to retire out of the spotlight and social media early if I can; being a public figure invites too many vultures, especially when fandom becomes involved.
