From the camera row series: stuff I forgot to post. Earlier this ear, in May, I got to host @yannispapadopoulos_official and @danielfreyberg for a few days in LA after they wrapped up their badass tour with @bib_band and @helloweenofficial. @cameronscottdavis and Yannis kicked mine and Dani’s ass playing pool, at least Dani and I have better hair, so I will call it fair. 😂 I met these two beasts and other great people I get to call friends while working backstage at @70000tons back in January. Can’t wait for the 2027 cruise 🛳️!!! by @nanda.hayek

I’ve been revisiting some material on Adler’s teleology, the idea that our lives are shaped not only by our past but mostly by what we move toward: our goals, our sense of purpose, and the function of our behaviors. Although I cannot ignore Freudian etiology as much as Adler did, I am not a believer in determinism, and I do believe that once you embrace the courage to change and the courage to be disliked, you can put your strengths to use and become the best version of yourself. If you want change, be the agent of it. I am not saying it is easy, and I am not saying that everything is under your control. Change also involves adapting to external factors. I believe in you. 💥 🥊

Do it.

Yours truly, Nanda.

“I toss and turn, I can’t sleep at night.” A little something for those with fast thoughts and slow mouths. ❤️💦 👄 Tainted love.

I call her Esmeralda Hayek, the lady in red.

P.S. This is my personal desensitization challenge. I’m trying to share more things while they’re still raw, imperfect, and not quite ready. I am doing my best to allow myself to share things simply because I had fun playing with them. Not always easy.

Mantra: Better done than perfect. 💋

I am not a professional archer, but I feel archery is about the pause before the release, the breath, and bringing intention into movement. Like everything else, practice makes perfect, but there are still elements of letting go. It is about learning to sit with that small moment of expectation and uncertainty between locking in the target, checking in with your body, knowing you have done the best you can in that moment in time, and just opening your hand and letting the arrow and forces involved do the rest.

Fragments of an amazing weekend with @lizricephotography , @alvarez________ , and @cameronscottdavis that is still sending ripples of creativity and inspiration. ✨🌌

The callback queen. Thought it would be fun to post some auditions over here. Haven’t booked anything fun in a lil’ while, but seem to always get callbacks. Not sure what that means. Getting reconnected to this art. Approaching acting again from a more mature perspective feels good. When I started in this world, I got A LOT of bad experiences and also met some great lil’ angels I call friends. Acting, for me, is learning to get rid of your ego, personality, history, and open space to channel a whole new energy into your body. Not always easy, but always transformative. IG only allows for 1-minute videos, so I am leaving y’all with some cliffhangers. I am trying to be more vulnerable and post raw, imperfect content. Just like life. Here is me on a plate for you.

About dissatisfaction.

It’s been over 100° in LA and I find myself wishing for colder days in this heat, I can also certainly picture myself wishing for heat in this cold picture.

Heraclitus is often associated with the idea that change is the only constant in life. I wonder what role dissatisfaction plays in change. It is certainly one of the most reliable human experiences. I see it everywhere.

I miss blogging and the beginning of social platforms. I miss getting deep into people’s psyches, observing friends and people I admire wandering through an idea without needing to make it quick or digestible. Maybe that’s why I became a psychotherapist.

I miss random pictures of coffee and the things surrounding you, silly pictures of friends being friends. I miss people just being themselves, and artists just producing art without having to worry about the curse of engagement.

Part of me thinks the current media setup is also set to kill raw, visceral art. It rewards replications of digestible content. It filters reality. Not always, of course. But mostly.

I wonder if our dissatisfaction is actually part of what keeps the world moving forward. Maybe the feeling that ‘this could be different’ is what makes us create, question, change.

There is also another part of me that wants to accept things exactly as they are. To be present. To stop resisting. To embrace the absurd.

Maybe life is learning to hold both the part of us that accepts reality, and the part that can’t stop wondering why reality is so absurd. Maybe, in these terms, dissatisfaction is actually satisfying.

Meu chameguinho virou meu anjinho 🖤
Eu tenho noção de que a dor que eu sinto é parte do privilégio de poder ter tido um homem tão especial na minha vida. Se ele não tivesse sido incrível, não doeria. Por isso, sou grata pela dor também.

Meu avô era só amor, piada, dedicação e conexão com a sua horta e jardim maravilhosos. Um homem que podia arrumar qualquer coisa que você desse em suas mãos, de aparelhos eletrônicos a móveis, joelho ralado e choro. Um homem sem inimigos e sem rancores. Um homem que nunca precisou provar nada pra ninguém porque ele sabia quem era. Que jamais pegava mais do que precisava e era incapaz de ser egoísta ou egocêntrico. Um homem que sempre soube o significado de “o suficiente”.

Um vôzinho que inventava jogos e brincadeiras pra nos entreter e era o único permitido a colocar margarina no meu pãozinho, porque só ele sabia como eu gostava ♥️

Um cara que quase nunca ficava bravo, mas, quando ficava, tinha razão e impunha respeito e ordem com apenas uma palavra.

Perguntei pro vô o que ele faria se pudesse acordar jovem. Ele compraria um rancho pra poder cuidar das plantinhas e bichinhos dele e ficaria lá, curtindo seu pedaço de mundo.

Eu vi ele no telhado, consertando a bomba d’água aos 94 anos. Quando pegaram no pé dele, ele disse: “Quando eu não puder subir aqui pra arrumar o que eu preciso, eu prefiro morrer.”

Uma pneumonia dupla + COVID pegaram ele no ano passado e forçaram ele a ficar sentado. Afastaram ele do seu jardim e, assim como ele pediu, ele se foi quando já não podia ser independente, aos 96 anos.

Um homem tão forte que até decidiu a hora de ir embora. Depois de lutar e perder mais a sua independência, ele disse: “Acho que agora é melhor partir”, e assim ele se foi.

Ele me mandou esse último vídeo ontem e eu vou sim, meu vôzinho. Prometo que vou ser sempre feliz.

Eu te amo pra sempre, vôvi. Espero que, se houver uma consciência pós-morte, você esteja dançando com a vóvi e fazendo muitas piadas juntos, como sempre fizeram. Era demais ver vocês juntos.

Você tá no meu top 5, num ranking com mais de 8,3 bilhões.

Eu carregarei partes suas em mim pra sempre. Você sempre existirá em mim. Feliz.

Te amo 🖤 by @nanda.hayek
