There is no moral high ground in letting yourself be steamrolled. Stick up for yourself, for your convictions & your creations. Then, when you do bend, it will be by choice, to whatever proves true, right, beautiful and good.
If someone says something mean about you/to you, doesn't mean you have to answer to it. Ppl can say whatever they'd like. You, in turn, can not say whatever back to them.
Sometimes, as is often true in plays, the silent person is the one w/the power.
Working hard waiting tables now so that I NEVER have to wait tables again when the time comes.
The Earth is full of heartache.
But also wonder, and a stirring, quiet beauty. If we open our eyes to see and our ears to hear, there's magic everywhere.
"Heron at dusk"
By me :)
Any morning I get to open the windows and witness birds chirping in a patchwork of sunshine is a good morning.
When you deliberately put yourself #inthewayofBeauty it can jumpstart your heart.
Trying really hard to take my own medicine. It's not easy, but like hell will I end up someone who couldn't practice what she preached, so discomfort, sacrifice, and growth it is.
It took me til age 30 to figure out how to shape my eyebrows so they don't look like forests. But now these babies are "on fleek," as the cool kids say. Cool kids still say that right? Doesn't matter. I'm Wonder Woman. I'm always cool. #actorslife
There is no Good worth getting or keeping if the price is one's integrity.
In between client projects, we released a new video today in which we captured the magical winter landscapes of The Netherlands, my beloved little country 😍🇳🇱
Please branch if you enjoyed watching it so others can too.
If you let other people speak for you, they will.
When you deny your convictions in order to avoid conflict, you lose respect....and still get conflict.
Haha right? With baby steps I can do anything! ;)
Thank you!
Don't wait for other people to notice you for you. Do the work instead. When it's done, ship it, share it, put it out there, and start again. People are drawn to others not because they could get the job done, but because they already do.
I feel particularly happy to be on Twetch today. As a creator, I love that other Twetchers have a convenient and cost-effective way to support my work, just by liking & branching it! It not only makes art accessible to everyone, but also patronage. 👏👊
First painting of the new year.
Beauty is everywhere if we go looking for it.
Hi Twetchers! In addition to writing and acting, I make little landscape paintings with oil pastels ♡ These are all commissions I made for friends. I'd love to start selling to the cryptos :^)
That whole "drop a pebble in a pond, create a ripple in the lake" idea is true. Cliche, sure, but true. So be courageous and put your work out there. Ship it, again and again. Pebble after pebble after pebble until people can't ignore the waves.

Both death and life are in the power of the tongue. Speak truth.
Thank you!! Glad to be here!
Even the greatest characters in every make & manner of story are but opaque generics to us until we've experienced the details of the stories themselves. It takes time. And patience. But specificity is the mother of humanity. No man is a monolith once met.
Thanks Isaac! Honored to be recommended.
