I'm Trying To Find My Own Version

Sometime In My Second Year At Brown [university], I Took An Acting Class. And The Lightbulb Went Off For Me. I Fell In Love With It. I Realized That Everything I Was Afraid Of About Myself, All My Fears, Could Be Used In That World.

Getting To A Place Where I Am Comfortable Saying Things Was Hard-earned For Me. I've Chewed On The Ground Glass Of My Own Experience. I Saw Gloria Steinem Speak, And I Was Just Like, Shut The Front Door. She Was Saying That She Didn't Come Into Her Own Until Her 40s, And She Was Asking Herself The Question, Why Should She Have To Get Married? And I Just Thank God Someone Asked That Question, Right? I Think We're The First Generation Of Women Asking Ourselves Certain Questions And Deciding For Ourselves.

I Sometimes Think To Myself, You're Not Going To Meet A New Friend Of Any Kind At Home In Front Of The Tv With Your Dvr. As Much As It's Great, And There Are So Many Good Shows On Tv, And I Have Great Books That I'm Reading, Get Out And Interact With People.

One Of The Things I've Realized Is How Portable God Is. No Really, He's Everywhere!

I Was Recently Watching Rihanna On The Billboard Awards, And I Was Like, My God, She's Incredible! And Then I Looked Up Her Age [28]. She's Always Been Talented. She's Always Been A Star. But When You See Her, She's Becoming Herself. It's Age That Happens. That's What I Respond To.
