Hello Mr. Gaiman. Recently I have failed to accomplish a life-long goal that cost me a lot of effort and time I won't get back. I don't want to go into details, I just want to know if you have some words of solace or comofrt for this poor soul.

The best comfort I can give is that most of the good things that have happened to me were preceded by awful, terrible things I wouldn't have wished upon an enemy. And if the bad things hadn't happened, the good things couldn't have happened either. I'm not saying "Cheer up, things always work out for the best" or anythng like that. But life, in retrospect, is an odd thing, and looking back I'd even keep most of the bad bits.

when Lemony Snicket wrote “I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you everyday” that hurt me

[heavensickness]

Full paragraph hurts even more.

“ (…) I will love you as we find ourselves farther and farther from one another, where once we were so close… I will love you until your face is fogged by distant memory. I will love you no matter where you go and who you see, I will love you if you don’t marry me. I will love you if you marry someone else and I will love you if you never marry at all, and spend your years wishing you had married me after all. That is how I will love you even as the world goes on its wicked way.”

Like the amount of sense that this makes and the depth of it are too powerful and cryptic. The fact that this wisdom can exist in such a stable form….it astounds me.

“The idea behind each one was we took a film that we like and made the title stupider. And then made a new film to reflect the new stupid title. It’s a formula that only produces horrible films, but for some reason we kept using it.” | Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015)

I have been second to Jo my whole life in everything and I will not be the person you settle for just because you cannot have her. I won’t, I won’t do it. I won’t. Not when I’ve spent my entire life loving you.

Questions I was asked while driving through Indiana, from Chicago to Michigan

Taken June 2018

“By the women’s accounts, this is what I imagine true parity on a film set looks like: a safe environment where everyone can show up and do their best work, one in which female stars get the recognition they deserve, no questions asked. Perez says that hit home for her when she saw the movie’s official poster for the first time. She was surprised it was just the four women front and center. ‘In a lot of films, the male always gets the first billing no matter how big or small their part is,’ she says. ‘Being in this business for so long, you still think the men are going to show up, you know? It felt very, very empowering.’

At this point in the conversation, I ask what each woman has learned from each other—and they all turn to Perez. ‘Why did you look at me?” she asks. ‘Because you’re just wise,’ Smollett-Bell replies. ‘We all have girl crushes on you, in case you can’t tell.’

They take a moment to reminisce about the wrap party—a night when everyone danced so much that Perez had to put ice packs on her knees after. Then, a beat. Perez decides to share instead what she appreciated about the other women. First, she turns to Robbie. ‘I appreciated how Margot can be in charge but not make you feel less than,’ she says. ‘Sometimes when actors are also producers, they feel that they have to wear that hat too strongly. That wasn’t the case, so I appreciated how she kept her emotions in control all the time. Her professionalism is outstanding.’ And Winstead, Perez tells me, is the kindest person she’s ever met. (‘I’m going to cry!’ Winstead replies.) As for Smollett-Bell: ‘With Jurnee, what I appreciated was that she’s strong. She’s so, so strong,’ Perez says, directing her words to her costar. ‘You stand up for yourself in a very, very specific way. But inside, you’re so soft.’

The women all echo Perez’s comments, but Robbie has one final appreciation to share. ‘Rosie, who’s a legend in this industry already, can still show up like it’s brand-new, like she’s never said these words before. It always feels fresh and present. It’s so thrilling to work opposite someone who makes you forget you’re on a set. The set kind of melts away for a second. That only happens if people are present, and if they really show up for that scene with everything they have. Everyone here did that. I loved it. I loved it.’”
