Meme moment

Some of the memes focused on realizing that you had more money in your bank account then you expected.

She instantly discovered that she had another meme-able moment and shared some of her favorites through her Instagram stories.

Roller coaster of emotions

But despite that young mogul having a great year career-wise (and meme-wise), Martin recently admitted that she has experienced a fair amount of struggle recent year. The Little actress took to her Instagram page to open up about the emotional rollercoaster she’s been on this year. “Appreciation post to God: I sometimes see these types of posts as corny but this is how I feel lol. 

This year has been a roller coaster. This year has been filled with crazy emotions and big blessings that I couldn’t even imagine me having. Moments from this year, I was in a dark place. A place that I didn’t think I was going to get out of. I thought I wasn’t good enough and I thought I needed to present myself in a way that was “perfect” when I didn’t need to. Putting so much pressure on myself. Fighting with myself” Martin admitted.

Dark emotions

The 14-year-old continued on to specify that she was only speaking on her personal experiences, rather than giving a blanket statement about all child actors. “This feeling had nothing to do with how child actors think. These were my own personal thoughts. The more I kept how I was feeling hidden, the more this dark emotion got bigger. I finally talked to my parents even tho they already knew how I was feeling. It made me feel better about myself. A sense of relief. I started praying more, talking more, and spending more time with the people I love” Martin continued.

Blessings

Fortunately, the producer ended her statement on a high note, saying that she was feeling wonderful now and offered words of encouragement to her fans.”Now I’m feeling the best I’ve ever felt In a long time. Thank you, God, for hearing my prayers. Thank you, God, for blessing me with the greatest family and friends. I encourage everyone to speak their mind to anyone u trust. Even asking a random person “how are you?” Can mean something. Also, be yourself because no one can be like you, other than YOU. Okay, I’m done bye♥️ – MM” Martin wrote.
