This fame thing at such an early age must be so difficult, doesn't have to be of course. But so many have found themselves in 'this' trap. And each has to find his/her way into the clear sun light.

What strikes me as the saddest thing for the actor is climbing on this negative spiral in the first place, and why? The big why. If each of us could grow even just a little thicker skin. No, not to hide behind impenetrable walls, rather as a way to carry on in a day to day way, each footstep choosing the positive, the clarity. The actor has as much right as the next person to live his/her life as happy as they may, up to them.

A key one is the developed skill to just say 'NO'. That's right. Review, not deeply, those moments where a simple and firm 'NO? would've been the skillful way... AH, the utter freedom from owning that skill, the skill to say 'NO'!

Other key words: up to them. Up to you. Yeah, we can't let anyone determine ones space of free movement, ones natural born right to enjoy the fire in the chimney, that perfect lemon tea, late afternoon coming across. This is perfection, perfection on Earth with all it's cracks and flaws.

Life goes so quickly, so fast, who's to decide who's right or wrong, who fucked up and hurt who? Not me, not you.

You've done well, easily a source of inspiration to many, most importantly to you! You inspire you is how I see it.

So from an old fart to a much younger, uh, fart: Be well, be at peace, shit, be happy! As my old man used to say to me, ' and don't let the bastards drag you down...' Need to be careful with that too, but you get it...
