Family Is What Grounds You.

If Every Choice You Make Comes From An Honest Place, You’re Solid And Nothing Anybody Can Say About You Can Rock You Or Change Your Opinion. It Doesn’t Shake Me Because I Know Why I Do The Things I Do And I Know I Come From A Good Place And So People Can Judge Me However They Wish. But I Know I’ll Continue To Do The Best I Can And Be The Best I Can.

I Always Felt Caged, Closed In, Like I Was Punching At Things That Weren't There. I Always Had Too Much Energy For The Room I Was In.

There Is No Shame In Being A Survivor Of Sexual Violence. The Shame Is On The Aggressor.

It's Hard No To Work, So I Find A Way To Put Myself Back To Work. And I Think It's Important, In Between Projects, For Me To Sit Down With Who I've Just Become And Allow Her To Continue To Evolve And Find A Home Inside Me Before I Go And Become Somebody Else. But I Think I Also Need To Learn To Relax And Not Prepare Too Much, Just Enjoy Life. I Notice That My Characters Go Out To Dinner And Have Fun And Take These Great Trips, But I Spend So Much Time On Their Lives, I Don't Have Much Of A Personal Life Of My Own. I Have To Sort Of Remember To Fill Out That Little Notebook On Me.

I Want To Take Time To Understand Life. I Want To Travel. I Want To Be A Better Person, A Better Mom. I Want To Do Something Good With My Life.
