This is more symbolic than real, but taking time to sit with yourself and let yourself know that you are feeling, and that is okay. White noise because life is never truly silent.

The app I linked is called Notion. I've found it really hard to make myself comfortable just writing out my feelings, and Notion really has a way of making it fun to do.

We're more than a doc. Or a table. Customize Notion to work the way you do.

Mental health is always something to be upfront about with yourself. I've found it extremely, insanely difficult at times to feel things out for myself; to really hone in on what's troubling me. It's fairly difficult to do; if you get in the habit of validating your feelings, whether by just acknowledging them, or by seeking a way to help yourself, it can really, really be something that positively helps you.

I make it a point to check in with myself after any artistic venture, no matter how small. Art can make people feel things they aren't familiar with, and mentally, that can tax anyone after interacting with it day after day. Being a fine arts major, seeking out art, experiencing art through music and television and movies and books; it's emotion after emotion day to day. I like to make it a habit to write out feelings, just to get them out, in no way poetically or effectively.

Ophelia is the Shakespeare woman that I love, and one I think challenges the idea of seemingly "weak" women being unlikeable characters. (Because even weak women have substance and are full people.)

What is truly inspiring me right now artistically is femininity and how it appears in art and theatre in many different ways, and how exactly women and people who experience misogyny interact and draw from anything that is feminine. (ex. Medea, the above painting of Ophelia, the "good for her" trope)

Fleabag, created and written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, based on her one-woman show first performed in 2013. A show that I draw inspiration from for its depiction of grief, suffering, and loss.

A very specific inspiration for me is music, specifically Fiona Apple and feminine rage presented in music. How music and pieces about rage truly connect to marginalized communities and why exactly people who experience oppression come to relate to madness and anger, and the emotions that are underneath it all.

In this section, I mention music and the power it has to transcend meaning. Mitski is a Japanese-American singer, and many people feel that her lyrics and songwriting greatly speak to how they feel. In all it's interpretations, music has ways to make many people feel the same things.

The big value I have is making sure my passions and artistic practice never leaves someone feeling undermined or alone in emotions. Art evokes such raw feelings from people that leaves such vulnerability, and I'd like whoever partakes in my art, be it collaborators or viewers to never feel exposed in that vulnerability.

Korean band, BTS, and their speech at the United Nations. Art (music) transcends language.

"Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday’s me is still me. I am who I am today, with all my faults."

The main values I have are making sure the human experience is lived together. There are many instances where I would have a big emotion, or feel something that I thought I wasn't supposed to feel, and then I'd look around and imagine if anyone else had felt that too, or if I was crazy for being emotional.

In collaboration, we find art. We find love and friendship; we find hurt. We find the smallest things that brighten a day or darken it. In artistic collaboration, we discover passion and drive. The urge to be isolated and work alone can sometimes greatly affect the end goal of a project; it can and will destroy it.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, I have had great experiences within doomed artistic collaborations, things that will stay with me forever. The value of collaboration isn't in the end goal, I think, but in the experience of working with likeminded people and loving something with them. If the project turns out horribly, there are still bound to be lessons learned.

Carrie on Broadway was a horrible flop, but the revival is one of my favorite musicals. Something good can come out of something unsavory.

Above is an image of me and my high school cast of my senior One Act Play, a collaboration that was not my favorite experience. This photo is still a moment of pure excitement and joy for us, even if the experience was less than.

My absolute artistic goal is to create or be a part of something that I have had a hand in every step of the process and developed something I'm truly proud of. My ideal goal would be to write and direct some one act play sometime, but a production of any beloved play or musical would also be something that I would enjoy immensely.

Again, looking at specifically the play Fleabag by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, this was an entirely one woman show, written and directed by her. Something that truly encapsulates my aspirations.

This section is the though process and timeline I currently am working towards, through this semester, the rest of my time at college, and plans thereafter. I am currently working as the assistant director on Love and Information. Further into the future, I plan to get as involved as I am able to my senior year. My plans after graduation are concrete for a year, and then I can divulge on two paths: teaching or law school. Both call to me, both are interesting.
