Mayan ElSayed Instagram – “I’ve discovered that acting cannot be the only thing in my life,” says cover star, Mayan El Sayed (@mayanelsayed).
“I know that, no matter how much I love it, there have to be other things that I can hold on to. And if one day it actually crumbles and falls, I’m still me.”
After a dark period when El Sayed struggled with self-doubt due to online bullying, she now has a new, healthier, perspective. “Right now, I don’t believe I’m just an actress,” she explains. “I believe I’m a lover, I’m a daughter, I’m a friend, I’m a human being,” the actor says with feeling. “I have a lot to do in this world – places to see, nature to observe, music to listen to, books to read and films to watch. There is so much out there to explore.”
As El Sayed continues her journey of self-discovery, the rest of us can count ourselves lucky that, through her work, we will be along for the ride.
