@katebosworth : I have seen the 10 yr challenge everywhere and it got me to thinking - what is the actual challenge? To look the same? Better? Different? . For me, it was to look back on a human in her 20’s (left photo) wide-eyed, & living in a ton of fear because I felt no control over my life. I had neither the experience nor the tools to really understand myself. I started out in this industry at 14 years old - quite by accident. Anyone who follows me from middle school or high school will tell you - I was (and still am) a normal kid from a small town. But I love telling stories and working in a community who literally work their asses off right up until the moment someone yells “ACTION!” in an attempt to make magic (which is what I believe great cinema is - magic). But that girl on the left was not prepared for the wacky / cruel / overwhelming attention fame can bring, and I truly did not know how to process any of it. I internalized the fear, did not communicate much, and certainly did not voice my extreme vulnerability, as I felt it was a weakness. Regardless of the road travelled, the 20’s can be weird and confusing. You are developing. This requires patience and self-care: both qualities I admittedly did not have at the time. I kind of barreled through the decade in an attempt to fake looking cool & confident (I wasn’t) + feel less pain. . Ok, so I am now 36 - and I often get asked from journalists (🙄) how do I feel about aging (as if this is a bad word - we need to work to change this perspective, but that’s a different post). How do I feel about evolving from fear and learning to live through love? AWESOME. Aware there are always growing pains in life, but what a miracle to be alive. The woman on the right feels grateful to create art in different ways, finds strength in vulnerability - and beyond anything else - she knows love is everything. Also, “cool & confident” to me now is goofy, kind, and honest. . So .... Go easy on your hearts now 20 yr olds - you’re not suppose
