With the courage I need on the tip of my tongue, I endlessly search the corners of my mind for the wisdom to know my heart is just.
I want to dive in deep. Chance everything on passion and love. And as steadily as my hand covers my heart, that beats faster with every second, I linger on the thought.
The risk. A chance. Endless fleeting moments encircle my soul. I know what I want. I know what I need. And the two have finally met at the crossroads of a decision in front of me.
So, why do I hesitate? What do I fear? The only way to move forward is to leap, but here I stand on the edge for what seems like eternity.
Destiny awaits my courageous leap. A victory I've known in my dreams awaits my leap. So, why do I hesitate? What do I fear? My lifelong struggle shall no longer reap.
Today, my friend, I leap.

First Year: My LA Retrospective — Part 1
Howdy y'all. Today, I'd like to divulge into a topic that is always pecking at a brain. I mean 24/7, you're about to lose hours of sleep type of thinking. Even as I’m typing, I’m finding myself rifling through moments upon moments of glee, moments of despair and ample amounts of everything in between. So, to keep these at reasonable lengths, I’ll probably be shaping the story into multiple parts. But without further a due, let’s talk about my first experience trying to “break” into LA and Hollywood.

Did I Lose Myself Along the Way?
I used to believe in kindness and sincerity, thinking that if I treated others well, they would reciprocate. However, life taught me that people’s hearts can be complex — filled with deception, jealousy, and betrayal.
