Just gonna take a moment to shoutout the WOC lead of The Rookie, Melissa O’Neil, for breaking barriers and being who she is. 👏🫶
Tumblr media
This hasn't received much attention, but it’s worth noting that Melissa took the initiative to share about The Rookie’s NAMIC nomination and shed light on the significance of the NAMIC Vision Awards through a detailed IG story. This underscores her commitment to promoting ethnic diversity in media and ensuring that it receives the recognition it deserves! Way to go, Mel!

Gold Dust
Sometimes, "love" is searching on YouTube to get instructions so you can change out the batteries in your loved one's car fob.
Sometimes, it's a hug from behind or a stolen kiss on the cheek.
Sometimes, it's buying your loved one some cookies and laughing when they only remember to share the last bite.
Sometimes, it's telling them you're proud of them.
Sometimes, it's sitting quietly with your loved one as they grieve.
True love rarely takes on those heady, over the top overtures seen in movies. It is far more likely to be seen and felt within the everyday crevices of this monotonous life. I imagine it like flecks of gold deposited over time along the river banks and creek beds of the California hills I grew up in. But if it were to be collected and added up, piece by tiny piece, it would be worth a fortune.

Things that matter, are painful. Things that matter, are not easy. Things that matter, are awkward, and anxiety-inducing, and scary.
Things that matter, make hearts race. Things that matter, require courage. Things that matter, test limits, and challenge beliefs, and break people.
Things that matter, forge connections. Things that matter, are worth the struggle. Things that matter, bring fulfillment, and meaning, and purpose.
Things that matter, bring tears. Things that matter, keep people up at night. Things that matter, make people ponder, and question, and grasp for understanding.
Things that matter, shape lives. Things that matter, empower people. Things that matter, inspire, and motivate, and transform.
Things that matter, define people. Things that matter, complete people. Things that matter, guide, and cherish, and love.
Things that matter, give strength. Things that matter, are worth fighting for. Things that matter, become a part of someone, and resonate deep within, and live on in their soul.

hi, I hope this message finds you well 💌
and if you aren't at your best, that's okay too. I'm sending you a warm hug, some delicious cookies and a comforting blanket to wrap yourself with while you watch that show again.
if you are a little bit like me, you spend your hours doubting your worth, making pointers in your head, of the things, your habits, your words and your actions, that make you unlovable. you doubt yourself so much that you think atleast ten times before talking to a friend or a stranger and still end up saying the "wrong" thing. and you regret every word that comes out of your mouth. "no, this is dumb, what did i do, I shouldn't be allowed to talk to anyone, I'm so dumb." you replay every word of the conversation you have. and cry. and disappear.
if you relate to this, i am so sorry. i know it's difficult to say nice things to ourselves. having faith and believing in "you deserve people who are good to you. you deserve happiness." is hard work for us.
here are some reminders for you. i want you to read these words and I want you to trust me when I say:
you are enough. your existence is not a mistake. no, you didn't say the wrong thing. it's okay. your friends don't hate you. they don't look down upon you. the hateful and mean words that you have to hear from the people around you, are never true. please try not to let their words get the best of you. you are not unworthy of love because people make you feel unwelcomed. you are allowed to make mistakes. your mistakes don't define you. you're not your thoughts. no one hates you. you don't have to give an explanation to anyone. there's nothing you need to prove. you are adorable. just as you are. you deserve care and attention. love and affection don't need to be earned. what you think matters. you matter. the unkind words thrown your way aren't true. you are not a burden. don't be scared of loosing people. it's okay to be imperfect and making mistakes is natural. it happens with everyone. it's not your fault. it's okay to mess up or be wrong sometimes. what's important is what you learn. rest. they won't abandon you. you don't deserve the harshness you're met with on a daily basis. you are not weak. being in touch with your feelings and emotions doesn't make you "too sensitive" and weak. it's okay. you can cry. let it out. you didn't give birth to the hate growing within other people. you haven't disappointed anyone. your choices, your interests and the quirks that make you "you" are amazing. really. I love you. you're beautiful. you'll find love. your existence isn't embarrassing or annoying. your presence is appreciated here. i want to hear your jokes. especially the lame ones. you don't ruin everyone's mood. you shouldn't doubt your own value if people make you feel left out. I'm sorry. you can say no if you don't want to do something. the world won't fall apart. they won't dislike you. don't be bothered about the people who dislike you. and I'm sorry that some people find it really difficult to accept a no. I'm super proud of you for trying. always. i want to hear your stories. I want to hear the details of your day. i want to hear you. i want to see the light in your eyes when you talk about the things that you love. you still have time to develop new skills. pick up your old hobbies. try new things. you are talented. you are not boring. you are loved. you are loved. you are loved. you are not alone. you belong here. YOU ARE NOT DUMB. you are not invisible. even if you wish to be, or feel like you are, i want to let you know that I see you and i appreciate you. don't be so hard on yourself, please?

Sure parties, dates, movies, hang out, etc etc were special. But once their attachment fades and its just you who is left, you realize that those random reassurances, cringey talks, laying head on shoulder, holding hands tightly, receiving that flower plucked from a park, hands on the waist, forehead kisses, laughing together over stupid stuff, warm hugs, random ily texts, little walks, making playlist together, counting stars together were the stuff that made you feel loved the most and you wont ever forget those moments even if you want to.
I guess that is the reason they say little things are important.

I can’t even begin to imagine the feeling of not knowing if you’ll make it to next morning. I can’t even begin to imagine feeling that fear everyday. For two months or for years and years on end.

“Do you think a life has any value if one doesn’t leave some mark upon the world?” Remy’s expression sobers, and he must read the sadness in her voice, because he says, “I think there are many ways to matter.” He plucks the book from his pocket. “These are the words of a man—Voltaire. But they are also the hands that set the type. The ink that made it readable, the tree that made the paper. All of them matter, though credit goes only to the name on the cover.”
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue - V.E. Schwab

The main thing that started this all.
Could do something, could do nothing. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Never know unless you try.
And I knew if I didn’t, I’d be frustrated still.

Music and politics are in essence about communication. Without over-stretching the analogy I do feel a sense of rhythm is important in getting your message across. Charles Kennedy.
