#OneDress

 Me: Let's not talk about foreigners...

Her: Yeah, let's... not...

(Silence)

Her: What shall we talk about then?

Me: I don't know.

(Silence)

Me: How about the last time you went clothes shopping?

Her: Uhm, yeah, sure. Ok. 

Me: So?

Her: Oh... That question was for me? Right...

Me (smiles in encouragement)

Her: So I went to buy one dress the other day. And -

Me: Just one?

Her: Yeah, just one. Sometimes it's just one that you need. There's nothing wrong with that.

Me: Of course not! Nothing wrong, absolutely.

(Silence)

Her: Anyway, I couldn't decide on the dress, so I -

Me: What was the dress for? I mean, if you're going to buy one dress, then there's a reason -- Sorry, continue...

Her: No particular reason actually. Just thought, well, I deserve a new dress, so why the hell not. I just love a good dress.

Me: Right...

Her: So I went to Oxford Street, looked around, couldn't find anything, so decided to Westfield it. Got to Westfield and --

Me: Which Westfield?

(Silence)

Her: Really? Does it matter?

Me (smiles awkwardly)

#FeelingInspired

 After weeks of contemplation, I believe (not think), that I have figured out exactly what it is that I would like to do as an actor.

I am going to take a minute to write up a plan, well more than two minutes, and I hope that by September, it will be all set and ready to go.

Sometimes you realise that it takes time to find that 'thing'. And with late nights of crying and researching, assessing your life and goals, you are then reminded of why you love doing something so much. The 'happiness moment'. So writing this here is to remind you and me of this moment.

Here we go...

#WriteYouSoon.

#Ongoingbrokeness

Why is the pursuit of my dreams so expensive? 

Whenever I want to start something that's about something I love, I end up broke.

So I feel helpless and then have to revert back to old habits of working endlessly until I have saved up enough and then try again.

Anyway, write me soon.
