woman, you're getting super deep here. but i also have to agree with you, especially when it comes to having a healthy relationship with the industry. lord knows that so many people, especially women, have struggled to move forward without sacrificing at least a small part of themselves just to fit the norm. stay true to yourself and you'll move mountains. you call it a difficult subject, but you and i both know i'm right. let's just avoid getting cancelled and go with jeans... for both our sakes. nah, we're in brussels right now, but why don't you come here instead? tag along for a few concerts and take a break from l.a.

This is exactly the mentality I have. I've been around long enough to see people lose themselves in the world of Hollywood, long before I was even in Euphoria and made a name in the acting world for myself, I was in these spaces and I really don't want to fall victim to it. I'm fortunate enough to be in a position where I don't have to settle for things that make me uncomfortable and I'm holding on to that. As difficult as it can be, I've made space with who I am and I'm not going to change that for a potential role. Thanks for having my back. That means a lot to me. Avoid getting cancelled by actually acknowledging the world around us? Sounds easy enough. I mean, I could be convinced. I do already have a suitcase packed. Are you sure the others won't mind me showing up out of the blue?

jason tried to spoil a few things for me and it somehow turned into a completely ridiculous argument. whenever i'm browsing the internet, i avoid spoilers at all costs! even for shows i don't watch, i don't want to know anything unless i choose to know it. do you think you're similar to maddy in any way? because you're right, one of the things i love most about her is how she's always ready to say exactly what's on her mind. she never seems afraid to take up space or tell people what she thinks. although, to be fair, i think it would probably take a therapist a couple of hours to "fix" maddy, but do we want her to be fixed? i hope you're enjoying your time off, though. what do you like to do when you don't have a project to work on? i'm doing really well! thankfully, i'm in one of those phases of life where everything feels wonderful and things are falling into place. i'm excited to start playing football again and the podcast has become something i love doing. it's fun getting to spend time with my brother, meeting new people and hearing stories from people i never thought i'd get the chance to talk to. thinking about inviting you next! a spark? nobody has ever described me that way before, so thank you, i really appreciate that. i think we all have a responsibility to put good things into the world when we can, right? life is already complicated enough. if we can make someone smile, make them laugh or leave them feeling a little better than before, that's a pretty good thing to contribute.

It's always reassuring to know that no matter what the family dymanic, siblings will be siblings. This is exactly how I act with my sisters. Is Jason always the one spoiling things, or do you throw things out in the universe to him too? Your commitment to a spoiler free existence is pretty admirable. Personally, I'm not on the Internet too much and that always seems to lend a hand in the absence of that topic. Not being active on social media does wonders for real life. As for similarities, I guess a little. I have gotten into trouble before for acting as impulsive of her, but that's mostly been tamed these days. I'm a lot more shy than Maddy and like to keep my private life private. She's quite the chatacter and it was such an honour to play someone who was always so sure of who she was. She never needed anyones approval to be herself and I loved that she didn't change. Although, admittedly, she really would have benefited from a therapist. That shit could have changed her entire life. Thank you and when I have a bunch of free time, I like travelling, catching up with friends, just enjoying life and going wherever the wind takes me, you know? It's refreshing to not have every moment mapped oit. Hearing you sound so cheerful really shows what a good headspace you're in right now and I'm so happy for you. Having two different niches you can dip your toes into is such a wonderful thing. Working with all these different people must really feel like an accomplishment and it must be nice to work alongside your brother these days rather than competing against him. A guest? Are you sure you could prepare yourself for that? I really don't think I'm who your target audience would expect, but if you want me there, I'm down. Yeah, a spark. It's like you light up whenever you're doing something that you really enjoy. Almost like childhood wonderment, but manifested into a grown adult. I like it. I think more people could benefit from enjoying the little moments they surround themselves with. I love the way you view the world and I couldn't agree more. If we have the capabilities to make someone's day, we should grasp it with both hands and hold tight. I think a lot of people could benefit from that kind of joy these days.

i don't know where you are in the world right now, love, but i think it's about time for a hang out session. i'll be in new york for a bit, so pints are on me at the nearest hole-in-the-wall english pub if you make your way here. [ @alexasdemles ]

Wow, I always did like a man who knows exactly what he wants. New York is easily accessible to me. Tell me when you find the pub of your dreams and I'll be there. Who knows, I might even buy the first round as a friendly American welcome. How long are you going to be here for?

i still haven't watched the new season of euphoria and i probably should because maddy is my favorite character. i have to ask - what's the thing you love most about her, and what's the thing that drives you crazy? while i've got you here, what are your next projects? what should i be looking forward to seeing you in next? i'm trying to keep up with your career, but you people keep announcing new things faster than i can process them.

You haven't? I'm surprised it hasn't been spoilt for you, but yeah, you should absolutely check it out. Maddy is certainly a character, isn't she? One thing I love about Maddy is she always says whatever she's thinking. You don't have to second guess with her and I guess that boldness is a quality I really admire. Something that drives me crazy is how she's often too impulsive and acts in the heat of the moment. That girl needed to sit with her emotions for a minute. Right now, there's nothing currently in the works. I'm enjoying relaxing and taking things at my own space. How are things with you though? I know you have football and the podcast. Are you still enjoying both? You have this spark every time I see you and I'm presuming that means you're in a good place right now.

and you already know my opinion on that. how other people ended up with a shitload of projects while you were right there being the superior choice is beyond me. not naming names, but sweeney was definitely an interesting choice for hollywood's latest a-list darling. is she talented? sure. but, you know.. you've clearly got the better genes. or jeans. or whatever the fuck it was she said. hey, i miss you too, demie. you know what? a bunch of us are in milan right now on a little friend-cation, and i think you should join us if you have the time. no pressure, though.

It is what it is. I don't do shit I don't want to do and I'm not here to be type cast. Knowing who you are and what you stand for makes a difference and I think it's helped me form a beautiful realtionship with the industry since I don't search for validation. Sydney is... a difficult subject matter, but thank you. I'm pretty happy with my genes. Or jeans. Whichever works best. Are you still in Milan? I fear I've missed all the fun. If you are, I could fly out. If you're not, you better send me pics immediately and I can lounge around and bask in the major fomo I'll surely feel.

i feel like you and i would have way too fun on a night out, and to be honest, i think we should get that sorted and planned. i need to get my boogie on or whatever the kids are saying these days. maybe a few too many drinks and dancing? i promise to give you a piggyback ride back to wherever you're staying, if need be. [ @alexasdemles ]

You won't hear me disputing that, I'm game. It's you that's awfully hard to track down. Guess that's what happens when the world falls in love with you, suddenly you have less free time on your hands. I don't think the term boogie has been in fashion since the Jacksons made it a hit in the 70s, but since it's you, I'll let it slide. Okay, deal. You convinced me with the whole piggyback ride. You promise you won't drop me, right?

Well, this is alarming. Why would you announce that you've mastered the art of appearing out of nowhere publicly? That's exactly the sort of mistake an amateur spy would make. I'm disappointed in your tradecraft. I do think you've identified the fatal flaw in your future espionage career. Here to give you all the attention you demand! I haven't actually been filming anything for months. It's actually quite nice, staying still for a while. For the first time in ages, I've got a little breathing room, which means your demand for attention has arrived at exactly the right moment. You've caught me during a rare period where I'm not busy. If you're getting frustrated being left to your own devices, then for the good of society I should probably intervene.

I wouldn't announce that fact to just anyone. As it appears, I actually must trust you, Andrew. Don't break my heart by proving me wrong. Can't you see how much faith I have in you these days? If I were to become a spy, no one would know. You think James Bond is great? He has absolutely nothing on me and I'm appalled you would never doubt my methods. Thank you, kind Sir. That's all I asked for. For once, it seems as though our schedules have aligned. Can't remember the last time I spoke to you where you weren't filming Hollywood's next big thing, but it's nice. You deserve to take a backseat and hell, I deserve to have your full focus on me. See, now you're thinking like a proper gentleman. For the good of the world, don't you think you should come and spend some one on one with me? A girl gets awfully lonely, you know.

I knew I might get emotional, but not to the point of ugly sobbing multiple times during the movie. So yeah, definitely save it for when you need a good cry! Alexa, you're so hot and right, bestie. I, too, have a soft spot for Julia. Like, when I think romcoms, I think of her. And Meg Ryan. My Best Friend's Wedding is one of my favorite films! I think we should watch it soon.

Thanks for the warning. You have no idea how much i appreciate that. The worst thing is going into a movie blind and having it completely ruined your happy mood. Okay, you know ball. Meg Ryan is the OG and knowing you love her too makes so much sense. Tell me when you're free and we'll have a watch party. I'll even sing along to the Say A Little Prayer scene.

but haven't you always been the type to scour booking.com for the cheapest plane tickets and drag me along the next day because, as you usually say, "i couldn't help myself"? but hey, because of that, i had the best time in ibiza. and you should know by now that i could never say no to you, especially not when you're buttering me up by telling me i'm the coolest girl you know. so, when are we leaving?

I wouldn't say the cheapest tickets. I do want us to arrive in one piece, you know. Besides, it's a good thing. Who does love a spontaneous vacation in the sun? You love every moment of it and Ibiza was just the tip of iceberg. Something tells me we're going to have even more fun in Bali. I was thinking we could maybe go at the end of the week? I'm pretty much ready to pack. Might go and look for some new bikinis, but other than that, I'm ready to go. Please tell me you're free. Don't ruin this for me.

Just watched Voicemails for Isabelle, and I'm an emotional wreck. Guess I needed to clear my tear ducts. I will now compile a list of the best romcoms, so... what's your favorite?

I've never seen it and from this warning, maybe I should avoid it until I'm feeling particular emotional and need a good cry. If we're talking romcoms, I find the ones from the 90s to be way more compelling to watch. You've Got Mail, Pretty Women and 10 Things I Hate About You are all classics and for a good reason. Here's where I confess my adoration to Miss Julia Roberts. Her talent knows no limits. Two of my favourite romcoms of all time are Notting Hill and My Best Friends Wedding. She's incredible in both.
