track down his ex-best friend again, if only to make amends where there might need to be, even if he still wanted to reject him after all these years.
His painting, The Pit, ended up really catching on and gave him a good degree of recognition in the art community. He started to make a name for himself.
As he began to make a name for himself, he was able to quit his day job and focus efforts on his art full time. As he got more financially well off, he tracked down Janice, made amends, and started assisting her financially.
Her life started to turn around, and she ended up becoming one of his closer friends. He watched her go through a complete transformation from what she had been. Indeed, he himself had started to go through a complete transformation of his own.
Eventually, he decided to pick his acting dream up again, but for fun this time. He did a few films, one of them which became a surprise big hit, and made him more popular than ever before.
It was not, though, because of newfound fame that he would become most remembered for. It was because of the unconditional love and compassion he always made a point to show towards others. He never again forgot or neglected the blessings or people right in front of him. He outright refused to treat anyone who treated him badly in the same manner.
He found that as he opened his heart to love and let other people come into his life, he found more happiness and fulfillment than mere things could give him. Indeed, even though he had finally gained the renown as an actor and an artist he had once sought so heavily, he could have barely cared about them now. Those were not the things that mattered the most anymore.
One day, many years later, he sat down to write a novel. It was based off that painting he had painted so long ago. It was about a young man trying to climb out of a pit, the battle he faced with himself, the need to be rescued, and the people who had been trying to rescue him all along.
