Learned:

That I haven’t lost my love for Nintendo, and boy, did I play many hours…

How to be a woman who Inspires and shakes your conscience.

I grew up. I finally learned to have courage. To speak my mind, to say the scariest of things. And it felt good! So good and it wasn’t as bad as keeping things to myself. 92718.

To get what I want, it will take more, harder work, more dedication, more love, MORE, but I’m down for the inevitable challenge.

That what I’m looking for precisely is for the private and the mundane which together becomes intimacy. 

random thoughts found in my NOTES (in my phone)

“It’s our job to question convention … If we don’t take risks, then who will?” Rei kawakubo

Our Focus - Drawing from our lives and the specific sense of humor and sadness we feel in the world - the epically small elements of our life - (dome and conz on story and what we bring to the table)

Interpersonal dynamics.

Oct.4.18

Scott Minerd shared with Dome and I this quote that resonated with our life mission, what our parents have taught us, to persevere, to be determined, to never give up. 

“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race”. 

• Calvin Coolidge (30th president of the US) 

Good for Overhead LA -

i heard a woman at Elephant Coffee in Atwater - 6.1.18

“Lesbians are pretty good whistlers. 

I’m a lesbian, I’m a good whistler. 

I’m a lesbian too and i can whistle.” (and i sat thinking, damn, I’m a great whistler, wonder if I’m a lesbian and don’t know it).

LOVE AND IT'S MEANING IN WORDS

I’m looking for the private and the mundane which together becomes intimacy. 

POLARIZING MY WORLD

Domenica and I produced a rad visual essay for BOOGIE , directed by Felix Culpa’s Gina Gammell, Riley Keough and Malcolm Washington. The MASTER Emari Traffie, shot some fierce polaroids for our crew.

Not my life but my shoes are in it. : ten pictures of a house lived in.

One of my favorite things about making movies is discovering new locations, which let us in other lives. Real lives. Of living people. We get to be in their space for a day or two, or more. It’s kind of voyeuristic, in a nonsexual way.

#NationalFilmScoreDay

4. ET - John Williams
5. Arrival - Johan Johannsson 
6. Phantom Thread  - Jonny Greenwood

POEMS // QUOTES // WISDOM

I was going through my notes and I found a couple of quotes, short poems, and wise words that have resonated with me at different times of my life. 

I am a hopeful human. I believe in romance and love. I believe in the good and kindness of people. I trust that things will get better if we try a little harder, therefore, when you find words that make you think, take a moment to write them down, so that you can look back and celebrate who you were and how you continue to evolve through this rollercoaster of life.

Several of these I found while searching for words to help friends through rough times, only to realize those words healed or awakened something inside myself. 

"Everything you can imagine is real". - Pablo Picasso 

"Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience", Paul Cezanne

“A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle”, Gloria Steinem

"Take your broken heart, and turn it into art", Carrie Fisher 

"Take it personal. If it's not personal, it's impersonal and if it's impersonal, no one cares",  Aaron Sorkin to Martin Sheen. 

"I am a fish. You are the moon. You cannot touch me, but your light fills the ocean where I live",  Rumi

"Being loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage",  Lao Tzu

"It's never too late to be what you might have been", George Eliot 

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you",  Maya Angelou 

"I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees",  Pablo Neruda 

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle",  Albert Einstein

"We’ll chase the sunrise, over mountains and rivers, through cities and seas", Tyler Knott Gerson (I have followed him on Tmblr since about 2007ish and once in a while I go back and his romantic poetry always makes my heart skip a beat). 

"Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans",  Allen Saunders (I really think this one is an awakening to be in the moment. To enjoy the now). 

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride. I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close",  Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets 

"It's enough for me to be sure that you and I exist at this moment",  Gabriel Garcia Marquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude 

"On some far off shore, on some foggy afternoon, you will walk to me", Tyler Knott Gerson
