#I'm just trying to prove to myself that I can set goals because ha ha ha that's a thing I haven't been doing recently

Perfectionism is not about achievement and growth. Perfectionism is not about striving for excellence. Perfectionism is the belief that if we live perfectly, look perfectly and act perfectly, we can avoid the pain of blame, judgment and shame.

I chose to start acting when I was 5. It was my decision, and my parents tried their hardest to discourage me.

Mara Wilson (she played Matilda in Matilda and those adorable kids in Mrs Doubtfire and Miracle on 34th Street) wrote an article on Cracked.com about child stars.

#ps: mara wilson has a website for her writing and she's pretty cool

iridiumiodine replied to your post:

why…?

ah, mostly just because I've gotten sort of tired of this one. like, it feels kind of like an old, worn-out pair of shoes that's getting a little too small and not quite my style anymore (and I think I'd like a new pair of kicks, haha)

also I've been wanting to make a new blog for art and text posts and other stuff for a while now, because I've felt sort of inhibited from doing that on this blog for some reason, so, time to start afresh~

#oh and when I say that it's 'not quite my style anymore'#I mean that the older pages of this blog are embarrassing and cringe-inducing for the most part #and going on massive deleting sprees just isn't as satisfying #iridiumiodine #the past is embarrassing and two years from now I'm probably still going to think I'm embarrassing #but that's a problem for future me so whatever

hmmmm I'm considering making a new blog for myself

#the only things stopping me are apathy and the fact that I follow 434 blogs on here #bc that's going to be a doozy to re-follow on a new account

I made that post at almost the exact the same time that you sent me that message omg

oh, also, danielle! I know you're probs not awake/on tumblr right now, but!! I'm up for trying out this whole daily sketch month-of-june thing and even if it'll be kind of tough to actually follow through, it should be fun, so I'm in

#gotta try to prove to myself that I can set goals and work toward them #because ha ha ha I haven't been doing that at all recently #the-darling-buds-of-may #we're gonna do it this time buddy I can feel it #we'll be motivation buddies and you'll write fic and it'll be good
