Writing, reading, painting, play music, writing music, musicals, singing, performing.
These are all things that I love to do but I am having such a hard time with doing it all. Everyone seems to say that you have to chose one and you must chose carefully because that will be your career and you have to succeed. There is no room for error and failure. At the young age of 18 you're supposed to have everything figured out. What school you want to go to, what career field you will be majoring in, where you want to live out your days, what company you will be working for. A life game plan, bulletproofed before you walk across that stage graduation day. Oh and God forbid your plan be anything like a musician, author, writer, photographer, journalist, creator of any kind... I have always just wanted to write stories and play music. For as long as I can remember, I have scribbled stories down in my notebooks and had my nose stuck in a book hidden under my desk just out of the sight of my teacher. I wanted to paint pictures that described the countless images floating aimlessly through my mind. I wanted to write songs and share them with the world. I wanted to travel that very world and capture its secrets through the lens of a camera. I wanted to live, experience, and flat out enjoy the one life that I have been given. Who am I kidding I still do.... I realize that you need money in this world to live, to eat. I just don't see the point of wasting your life away behind a desk, stuck in some office that slowly suffocates you. Slaving away at job that you don't give a crap about, just to fit into a world that experiences very little. Time is precious and we are only given so much of it. I want to live. I want to spend this life doing the things that I love. I want to connect with other people and learn things I would have never known in some office chair. I want to paint and write and sing and read every book I can get my hands on. I believe there is a way to be me without have to resort to a job that does nothing but hold me back. I just want to finish by saying that I don't have anything against anyone who enjoys their 9-5 office job. That is wonderful and I wish you all the happiness in the world in doing what makes you happy. What about you? What makes you, you? What is it that you honestly want do and what is holding you back from doing it?

Welcome!Life is a journey that we all go though. Each journey is vastly different from the next. Yet we are all able to connect to one another through our experiences. We are able to learn from someone else's struggles and victories. Here, I want to share mine with you. Categories
