  I'm not too good with blogging personal thoughts but you gotta try everything once! Or in this case, twice.
  
  Was in the middle of watching Factory Girl, a film starring Sienna Miller who plays a famed socialite in the 60s. So far, it's very interesting. Has the feel of Gia starring Angelina Jolie. In Factory Girl, Sienna's character Edie Sedgwick has a sad and tormented childhood. She exposes these secrets to people she considers "friends." However, when the friends felt threatened by her, they immediately turn on her and even use her insecurities to eventually destroy her. This made me think about how important it is to keep good company. Of course in a town like LA where everyone is generally friendly, at first, it may be difficult to tell what their intentions are. But if you're lucky, you can eventually tell by the things they do and weed out the negative people and try to hang on to the "good company."
  
  So far I've been fortunate enough to meet amazing people who have helped keep my spirits up when the pressures of trying to succeed in a competitive business wears me down. I look back at my earlier years and I can clearly remember when I've had the most self doubt, negative feelings, just down right bad energy. It IS when I've had some "bad company."
  
  My parents use to tell me I am who my friends are. It's interesting how our parents are usually always right.
