“Congrats to my space uncle!!”
I don’t think y’all understand just how much it warms my heart that Billie refers to Mark as her space uncle and she wrote this in Carrie’s Code too, it brings me so much joy

My parents are both refugees from Vietnam. My mom works in funerals and my dad works at Burger King, and their whole lives their only dream was essentially to put my sisters and me in a position where we could have the luxury of having a dream. Because I think a lot of people don’t realize that that is a luxury. You have to meet a lot of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs before you can get to the point where you even think about having a dream.
“The Rise of Rose” – Kelly Marie Tran photographed by JSquared for Buzzfeed
Tran recalled that the initial character breakdown for Rose Tico was
vague — “Something like, ‘Any ethnicity, character-y!’” — so she walked
into the first audition wearing a sweater vest and her lucky Ravenclaw
tie. “All these other girls were in tight black and I was like, ‘Oh no! I’ve done this wrong! I’ve done this wrooong!’” she laughed.

I’m still weirded out when I see photos of me in magazines. I’m not sure I’ll ever get used to it. I’m still learning to love all sides of me, from the I-can’t-believe-I’m-in- @marieclairemag side to the I-made-my-mom-take-this-pic-even-though-it’s-too-sunny-to-smile side. I’m still learning, and being open about that is helping. I think everyone is in process, and it’s okay to be open about that! HEY INTERNET, I AM AN UNFINISHED HUMAN AND I AM IMPERFECT AND I AM OKAY WITH MYSELF!! I think it’s time to take back our power, and realize that everything we need is already inside of us. Is that cliché? Maybe. Is it something that I STILL have to constantly remind myself? Absolutely. YOU ARE ENOUGH, even if you forget and have to remind yourself sometimes. Celebrate yourself. All sides of you. You deserve it. Also, take silly photos. Listen to the ‘Nsync Holiday album. It always makes me feel better. PS THANKS MOM, YOU ARE A REAL PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER
I’m??? in love with her??????
