indefinite hiatus

Dear humans, there is nothing more beautiful than cheering others on and lifting yourself up. Lately, I’ve been trying to circle myself with people who do just that. I am a firm believer that the people you surround yourself with are the people that you will become. Sadly, I feel like we are taught that trashing people will somehow make you feel better about yourself. I also feel like we are taught that calling someone else beautiful somehow takes away from your own beauty. The strangest thing is, we are all only human, and yet we try to tear each other apart. Why? What do we benefit from trying to knock others and ourselves down? We all cry. We all have bad days. We all get embarrassed. We all overthink and get overwhelmed. But we also know how good it feels to do good, to smile, to make someone else smile, and to laugh so hard your cheeks hurt. At the end of the day we’re all human, so let’s just be each other’s shoulder to lean on, you know?

If it’s one of those skirts that is just a little too long, and I keep stepping… I will lose my mind. There are certain skirts in wardrobe that I want to rip to shreds and burn. I trip up on them and it’s just- when you’re trying to get ready for a scene and you’re like “okay, cool, let’s do this” and you’re pumped and you’re like going in, then trip and you fall face first into a door, again and again and again. And again. And people are stepping on you, it’s ugh, so annoying. [laughs]  But that doesn’t happen very often. Honestly I don’t get irritated with costumes very often. Once a week maybe I’ll be like, “this corset, I want to eat more lunch and I can’t. This is annoying.” They are quite uncomfortable, but you do get used to it. It’s like wearing a bra for the first time. Usually it feels kind of awkward but then you get used to it.

For centuries, our families fought together against their common enemy. We need to do the same if we are going to survive, ‘cause the enemy is real.

I’ve been reckless, but I’m not a rebel without a cause.

get to know me meme: [1/10] favorite female actresses → natalie dormer                       for me, it’s not necessarily interesting to play a strong, fearless woman. it’s interesting to play a woman who is terrified and then overcomes that fear. it’s about the journey. courage is not the absence of fear, it’s overcoming it.

I definitely didn’t have the experience that Effy did in life, and didn’t have the social life. Playing her gave me new context into different people’s lives and emotions and what they’re going through.

It’s fun because you can escape and learn about what other people’s minds have created. It inspires you to think maybe you could come up with a creature yourself. I like that.
