self-care instruction manual

forgive yourself : it’s okay if you didn’t wake up early, go for a run, or finish that assignment. you’re only human

start slow : don’t set your expectations too high when you’re just starting off

keep learning : getting to where you want to be is a process. don’t expect perfection overnight

be kind to yourself : you’ll make mistakes along the way, but don’t let that stop you

RIP Alan Rickman

[entertainmentweekly]

Alan was my friend and so this is hard to write because I have just kissed him goodbye.  What I remember most in this moment of painful leave-taking is his humor, intelligence, wisdom and kindness. His capacity to fell you with a look or lift you with a word. The intransigence which made him the great artist he was — his ineffable and cynical wit, the clarity with which he saw most things, including me, and the fact that he never spared me the view. I learned a lot from him. He was the finest of actors and directors, I couldn’t wait to see what he was going to do with his face next. I consider myself hugely privileged to have worked with him so many times and to have been directed by him. He was the ultimate ally. In life, art and politics. I trusted him absolutely. He was, above all things, a rare and unique human being and we shall not see his like again.

Well, we haven’t had children, but [we’ve done] pretty much everything else.” - Emma Thompson about Alan Rickman

I always thought about theatre  –  I’m not sure about film, but certainly in the theatre  –  if I could press two buttons, first I’d have my lines going across the back of the auditorium, with electric lights   –  that would calm me down. The other one is all actors should have a t-shirt, whatever the costume, that just says on it, “Believe it or not, I’m doing my best.”

10 facts about Alan Rickman that will make you love him even more:

He refused to take selfies.

He believed with talent came responsibility.

He knew how to laugh at himself.

He failed his driving test for being too careful.

Before pursuing acting at 26, he was a graphic designer.

His wedding reception was a stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge.

He shot one of the most famous Die Hard scenes standing on one leg.

He never watched himself on screen.

And lastly, he turned down the chance to play a music legend, saying “Even I knew that was a bad idea.”

I could talk to you for hours and never get tired of hearing your voice or your laugh, never get tired of watching you smile. I really don’t think I could ever get tired of you. I don’t.

I beg young people to travel. If you don’t have a passport, get one. Take a summer, get a backpack and go to Delhi, go to Saigon, go to Bangkok, go to Kenya. Have your mind blown. Eat interesting food. Dig some interesting people. Have an adventure. Be careful. Come back and you’re going to see your country differently, you’re going to see your president differently, no matter who it is. Music, culture, food, water. Your showers will become shorter. You’re going to get a sense of what globalization looks like. It’s not what Tom Friedman writes about; I’m sorry. You’re going to see that global climate change is very real. And that for some people, their day consists of walking 12 miles for four buckets of water. And so there are lessons that you can’t get out of a book that are waiting for you at the other end of that flight. A lot of people-Americans and Europeans-come back and go, Ohhhhh. And the light bulb goes on.
