Tomorrow, I'm turning 30.
So naturally, here are 30 things I wish I had known sooner...
1. Doing something badly is often better than not doing it at all. Can't shower? Brush your teeth. Can't work out? Do one press up. Something is nearly always better than nothing. 2. Life is too short to waste not following your passion. Take a risk. You only get one shot.

We need to talk about #gender.
So, there is a lot of stuff going around right now about identity, gender, presentation, sex and what it all means. Being unemployed and passionate about this topic, I have made a thread to explain. Having access to photoshop means pictures.
Many people have done this before me, but I feel like this will be the simplest way of explaining things.
Imagine a world where beings appear to be red or yellow. A variety of shades of this (magenta, scarlet, lemon, daffodil), but they are roughly able to be grouped.

A few further thoughts on drama training. 🧵
Acting is a skill that improves with practise. Practice in as many different forums as you can, this could be in your bedroom, on stage at a local theatre, in short films etc. Train it like a muscle.
Try everything you can, every technique you can find, you never know what will work for you. Don't be afraid of failure - it's vital in finding out what doesn't work for you.
Don't limit yourself to playing people who are like you; try different ages, genders etc.

SAFE BINDING 🧵
I am so glad Layla's story resonated with so many of you! All sorts of people bind their chests for all sorts of reasons. Whatever your reason, you need to stay safe. Unsafe binding can lead to some pretty nasty consequences, so a few notes to follow here...
- Use a binder that is made for purpose. I love @gc2bapparel and #spectrumoutfitters, these are the ones used in #SexEducation, but other brands are available. Do your research and find what is right for you. NEVER bind with bandages or duct tape.

Starting drama school tips:
- prep food in advance. Big pots if chilli etc. Shove it in the freezer for easy dinners.
- keep what makes you unique. Accent/gender/size whatever. Don't change it because someone said you won't work - it's what makes you special
- get a water bottle and use it. Don't let yourself get dehydrated.
- make notes in a way that suits you, not everyone learns the same way. Record sessions, take photos etc.
- label your clothing. Black jumpers all look alike.
- sleep is a healer of all things, prioritise it.
