(…) we more often approach life with assumptions 
that lead us to confirm expectations 
rather than to inscribe fresh interpretations 
of daily experience upon a blank mental slate. 
(Entman & Rojecki, 2010)

This is what one of my New York college readings says. Easier put, we, as humans, often perceive both ourselves and others from a prejudiced point of view, not from a blank mental slate. As a consequence, we tend to confirm assumptions of ourselves and/ or others through self-fulfilling prophecy.

See it like Gossip Girl. I would argue that these dramalicious series showcase self-fulfilling prophecy through the infinite gossip, based on (false) assumptions. The consequences of these assumptions could have been easily avoided through honesty and proactive communication. Though, it might not have made the series that successful.

I'm just an outline of what I used to be 
Constantly evolving
Steadily revolving 

The above-mentioned is sung by Sabrina Claudio and briefly describes me at the present moment. Further, I would like to introduce myself through promenading in rainy Amsterdam, pretending like I know the lyrics to a French song and evoking my past acting experiences.

Where has she been and who is she becoming? Have a watch yourself:

Xoxo, Angel
