My Inspiration: Jessica Vosk

Everybody, I have a new inspiration and you’re all going to love her!! It’s the one and only Jessica Vosk!
You may know her from Wicked, in which she plays the famous green girl Elphaba on the national tour, but don’t forget she also played in Finding Neverland (Mrs. Bassett/mermaid) and even Fiddler on the Roof (Fruma Sarah).
Okay, why do I love her? Here we go! Well, first, she has a phenomenal voice. Really! Have you ever heard her sing? She’s amazing! Go check her rendition of “Chandelier” or “What Baking Can Do” on YouTube; you’ll be blown away. She puts so much power and passion in her singing; you’re not going to believe it! No wonder she’s Elphaba!

But, still, why do I love her, in particular? There’s a plenty of singers and actresses as talented as she is. Well, I’ll tell you why!
Jessica is not only a great singer; she is also SO funny! Really, she makes me laugh so much, just go on her Instagram, she’s hilarious. Everytime, I have a bad day, I just go on her twitter and I always feel better. Or at least, she’ll make you smile! She’s a real ray of sunshine!

Okay, seriously, I also love her because she is a nice and positive person! A few days ago, she went to High School’s rehearsal in the town she was touring because someone from that school tweeted her and ask her if she could come by. And guess what, she did! I mean, she took on her own time to go and visit some kids, and by doing that, she made them and the woman who tweeted her so happy! That’s a really touching and caring thing to do!
And she’s so positive with her body and the way she looks. She is inspiring a lot of people (myself included) just by being comfortable with you she is and telling us that it is okay to love eating because if you love eating, why stop? I know she must inspire a lot of young adults, especially girls, who try to fit in! She makes it completely okay to love the way you look, no matter your size or shape! She makes it okay to love yourself!

“BODY LOVE SUNDAY: Umm this might be long-winded. But you know me. Whatevs. I want you all to try and love your bodies today. NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK. EVERY SHAPE IS BEAUTIFUL. I have learned to love my curves. I used to think I needed to be the skinniest to fit into this business. But I learned that I COULD NEVER DO THAT BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME. OK? I have legs. I have booty. Cool. So, I decided to embrace myself. That means staying FIT, while enjoying my life. Never trust someone who says "No Chocolate Allowed." People can be mean. Some days are harder than others. But keep pushing yourself to do your absolute best. Whatever that may be. I BELIEVE IN YOU. I thank you for believing in me. And lemme tell ya, Elphaba is the most athletic role I've ever had to play. EVER. Ask any green girl. She will tell you the same. It. Is. A. Marathon. And AWESOME. Kicks my ass in the best way. So ladies...no matter what...no matter who tries to rip you apart...Look in the mirror and say...HONEY, YOU GOT THIS. 😘😘😘😘😘 #nodamnfilter #nodamnfacetune #bodypositive #myneckisstillgreen #fitissexytoo.” Jessica Vosk.

And, I kept the best for the end! An article by Michael Gioa from Playbill just came out a few days ago about Jessica’s former career. Indeed, she hasn’t always been singing her out on the stage, but she used to work as an associate director for a boutique investor relations firm in New York City. Can you imagine? She actually started to sing and act at 27 years old! This shows us all that no matter how old we are, we can still find a way to follow our dream! This is extremely important especially in a society that makes you feel that you are too old to do the things you want. Well, that’s bullshit! And Jessica is the living proof of it!
No matter how old you are, or how you look, you can achieve anything!

So, if by now you’re not convinced that Jessica Vosk is an inspiration and an amazing person and performer, I can’t do anything for you!
Because, for me, she is a star and she deserves all our love! We love you, Jessica!

"I Love You"

A poem I wrote for all my friends The most beautiful kind of love Is the one that comes from friendship Because friends will always be there for you No matter what; Meanwhile 'lover', as we call them Can at any moment leave you behind With a broken heart and an empty soul But your friends are the ones Who are going to pick up the pieces And make you feel whole again.

Why you should watch BBC's 'Call the Midwife'

Jennifer Kirby, Leonie Elliott, Helen George, Charlotte Ritchie - Credit: BBC/Neal Street Productions/Nicky Johnston I first started watching 'Call the Midwife' for study reasons. My research thesis for my MA at Sorbonne-Nouvelle was on Women's work in the 1940-50s in Britain and I found out about this show which covered perfectly what I was looking for. What I didn't know is that I would fell madly in love with it - and will still watch it years later.  'Call the Midwife' is BBC period drama series following a group of midwives working in East London, Poplar, in the 1950-60s. It was created by Heidi Thomas and is originally based on the memoirs of Jennifer Worth, a nurse working with the Community of St. John the Divine at their convent in the East End. As we follow the nurses caring for their community, we learn about the social and economic issues of the time that they are facing as well as the personal struggles of these families and the midwiv...

When Nothing Makes Sense Anymore

 Trigger Warning: Death, Suicide So today (5th of November) marks the 9th anniversary of my uncle's death... I never wrote about it before so it's very personal...  The first time I was confronted with death, I was thirteen years old. Until then, I had considered myself lucky. I had spent thirteen years of my existence not losing anyone, and especially, not worrying or even thinking about losing someone I cared about. My grandparents were healthy, my parents were fine, my siblings and I were thriving. No one in my family had ever been seriously ill or had been in an accident. I thought we were invincible. I naively believed that it was always going to be that way; but, for a time, it was a nice feeling to hold onto. It didn’t last long, however. My first experience with death was a brutal one. It happened violently and unexpectedly. It took me by surprise and, from one day to the other, everything changed.
