The way anything is developed is through practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice and more practice.
Practice Way
I remember watching meryl streep in, the river wild. there's this scene where she's has a gun pointed at her, it's absurd in a lot of ways. someone pulls a gun on her i think, i'm not really fully aware of the scene and she just, she starts, you see her terrified. and then all of a sudden she starts to burst out laughing. she starts laughing. like she can't stop laughing. because she's terrified and she's emotional and there are no rules to what you're supposed to feel. that to me is like a number one, that's the thing i have to remind myself all the time.
Gun Emotional Thinking
There, in the middle of this mall is the washington monument, 555 feet high. but if we put a one in front of that 555 feet, we get 1555, the year that our first fathers landed on the shores of jamestown, virginia as slaves.
Father Stupid Humorous
And she loved a man who was made out of nothing. a few hours without him and right away she’d be missing him with her whole body, sitting in her office surrounded by polyethylene and concrete and thinking of him. and every time she’d boil water for coffee in her ground-floor office, she’d let the steam cover her face, imagining it was him stroking her cheeks, her eyelids and she’d wait for the day to be over, so she could go to her apartment building, climb the flight of stairs, turn the key in the door, and find him waiting for her, naked and still between the sheets of her empty bed.
Coffee Missing Him Men
She had, without realizing it at the time, learned to follow nick's gaze, learned to learn his lust...his desires remained memorized within her. she looked at the attractive women he would look at...she had become him: she longed for these women. but she was also herself, and so she despised them. she lusted after them, but she also wanted to beat them up. a rapist. she had become a rapist, driving to work in a car.
Car Lust Desire
Men and women are made for each other, but their mutual dependence differs in degrees; man is dependent on woman through his desires; woman is dependent on man through her desires and also through her needs; he could do without her better than she can do without him. she cannot fulfill her purpose in life without his aid, without his goodwill, without his respect.....nature herself has decreed that woman, both for herself and her children, should be at the mercy of man s judgment.
