It is better to be looked over than overlooked.
Vulnerability is about showing up and being seen. It's tough to do that when we're terrified about what people might see or think.
I believe the greatest gift I can conceive of having from anyone is to be seen by them, heard by them, to be understood and touched by them.
To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow - this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.
I love, but I am not entirely sure how to be loved: how to be seen and known for the utterly flawed woman I am. It demands surrender. It demands acknowledging that I am not perfect, but perhaps I deserve affection anyway.
A cacophony of whispers is also noise. There are many ways to be heard, and there are many ways to be visible. There are many ways to be seen.
I like when the camera is on me.
When people say, 'I don't see you enough,' well just because you don't see me don't mean I don't exist, or just 'cause you haven't heard me don't mean I haven't been making noise. But if I keep making noise, you'll pick up.
What we know matters, but who we are matters more. Being rather than knowing requires showing up and letting ourselves be seen. It requires us to dare greatly, to be vulnerable.
I'm one of five; I have three sisters, so I've always had three best girlfriends. Actually, I'm the middle child, so it's no surprise I went into acting! There's a need to be seen.
I've accepted stuff even if it's a few lines, because I think it's better to be seen.
That's the thing that I'm really most proud of: that I'm still... people still would like to see me. I love seeing them.
You were seen, you were heard and you matter.
To be human is to be visible.
In a world of oversharing, we don't want to be unknown or unseen. We don't want to be left out.
Most people believe vulnerability is weakness. But really vulnerability is Courage. We must ask ourselves...are we willing to show up and be seen.
I want you to see that I'm looking. Look at me look at you. I'm cool with that.
Rather than sitting on the sidelines & hurling judgment & advice, we must dare to show up & let ourselves be seen. This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly.
I confess it, I love the camera. When it's not on me, I'm not quite alive.
What we yearn for as human beings is to be visible to each other.
If you stuck me in a room and gave me art-making tools but told me no one would ever see the results, I don't think I'd have much desire to make art. What I do comes from a deep desire to be seen and to see others.
I believe that it's better to be looked over than it is to be overlooked.
They come to see, they come that they themselves may be seen. [Lat., Spectatum veniunt, veniunt spectentur ut ipse.]
And for to see, and eek for to be seie.
What we really yearn for as human beings is to be visible.
