Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors since the TV show “21 Jump Street”.   Johnny didn’t want to be just a pretty face, sitting still and looking pretty.   In his collaborations with Tim Burton, he was able to stretch and do strange parts like Edward Scissorhand which made him stand out.   But he was pretty in John Water’s musical Cry Baby.   I was amazed to see him as Grimwald in the Fantastic Beasts movie series. However, I recently read an article that I’m quoting from that speaks to Johnny and all of us:

“…we all know someone who has the potential to get it right, but lacks the will, tools, or heart to do it.  That person stares the right decisions in the face but keeps taking the worse options simply out of comfort or insecurity.  They’d rather be in the mess instead of cleaning it up.  That someone could also be us.”

Hallelujah, sister!  Been there and done that!   Situations in which you can’t see the forest for the trees!   And, right now Johnny is up in there in a big way as detailed by the author of this article.   I wish him nothing but the best!
