Jessica Marais enjoyed her own company while out for a stroll on Thursday, after recently sharing a harrowing open letter about her emotions.
The 35-year-old actress looked happy and healthy as she stepped out for a walk in Sydney’s Clovelly, where she picked up a takeaway meal.
She looked cosy in a wool jumper with a heart and check pattern, and teamed her look with baggy black trackpants, sneakers and a backpack.

The blonde beauty was makeup-free and styled her hair up in a bun.
She sipped on a bottle of Kombucha while on her walk and had her headphones in her ears as she listened to music.
Something in the sky appeared to catch her eye and the stunner took a moment to take in the view above her.

After stopping to admire the sight, the South African-born Australian star continued on her way.
She appeared to be listening intently to her music, before picking up a brush and dustpan.
Jessica’s day out comes after she posted a heartfelt open letter about ‘loneliness and growth’ to Instagram on Wednesday.

The Packed to the Rafters star told fans she now ‘has the courage to speak my truth’, before reflecting on her positive growth as a person.
‘Help me not to judge this piece of writing. Help me to welcome criticism, bare my soul in honesty and have the power to detach from it,’ she wrote.
The note, which was illegible and incoherent in parts, began: ‘I have the courage to speak my truth. To make decisions based on both ignorance and impulses, advertising my genetic code and my spirit, mindfully and in line with my belief systems… which maybe are preconditioned and undoubtedly shape who I am.’

Elsewhere on the note, she said that after ’35 years of semi-aliveness’, and despite the help of her parents, she will likely remain ‘uninformed and swayed by exposure’ because of how her ‘brain stores and interprets information’.
Jessica concluded by asking her followers to help her find the wisdom to know ‘where freedom resides’ and how to ‘survive carelessly’ while ‘not [being] afraid of death, loss, grief, pain, fear, unemployment, love, abandonment and finances’.
Last month, emergency crews were called to her home in Sydney’s eastern suburbs for a welfare check on the afternoon of Saturday, May 2.

Jessica was walked to an ambulance where she was put on a gurney, and it’s understood she was then taken to the Prince of Wales Hospital in Randwick.
A witness told Daily Mail Australia she was not wearing any shoes, her hair was a ‘dishevelled mess’ and she was in a ‘visibly distressed state’.
It comes after the mother-of-one abruptly quit the Amazon Prime reboot of Packed to the Rafters in February ‘for personal reasons’.
