I have decided to do something different! (YAY!)
Whenever I get a chance I am going to post a journal entry about one person!
This person could be anyone or anything! (Maybe even YOU)
An actor, actress, singer, author, fictional character, etc.
(If you have any suggestions for people write a comment saying so, otherwise I'm using my brain power.)
As the title suggests I am kicking this off with actor Tom Hiddleston!

~Personal Quote:
Never stop. Never stop fighting. Never stop dreaming. And don't be afraid of wearing your heart on your sleeve - in declaring the films that you love, the films that you want to make, the life that you've had, and the lives you can help reflect in cinema. For myself, for a long time... maybe I felt inauthentic or something, I felt like my voice wasn't worth hearing, and I think everyone's voice is worth hearing. So if you've got something to say, say it from the rooftops
