Ali Bastian Instagram – ‘Who have you become?’ A question I was asked at a film screening a few months ago that still plays on my mind. She knew me from some of my telly work from years ago… and she was like, ‘yes, but who have you become?’ I tried to answer as honestly as I could. All I could think of to say was, ‘I’m still under construction…. Always under construction. Still learning all the time. I’m a wife, a mother, an actor, a coach, I direct, sometimes I use my skill sets to create content for people – but who have I become? I think I’m still figuring that out. Daily.’ I remember one of my biggest fears coming out of The Bill a few years ago, after an amazing ten year run on national telly… Hollyoaks first and then The Bill.. my entire 20s… was whether I knew who I was when the music stopped. I’d spent so many years with other people’s voices in my head… would I even know how to begin hear my own? Honestly… it’s taken time, it was quiet at first… almost inaudible, but little by little… ❤️
