My mind is overwhelmed!! I started taking classes online to get my associates in Photography with the Art Institute. My current classes include strategies and algebra. Egh! I despise math with a passion, but my goal is to gain an appreciation for it.
Balancing work, school, the gym, my writing, and a life is becoming a lot more than I had planned for. I was up until almost 11 the other night, then I got up at 5am to go to the gym for an hour. I want to be lazy and say fuck the gym, but summer is right around the corner, and this is the first time I’ve ever cared about being healthy. I’m not planning on strutting around in a 2 piece, but hey, if I can, why the hell not.
I’m 25 now. It’s time to get my act together. Having career goals is a must at this stage in my life. I’m in New York. The possibilities are endless. I’m a writer. I’m an actor. I’m a photographer. I’m an artist. I’m exploring all my wants, needs, and passions.
This is definitely my year.
Savings, savings, savings! I now begin my saving for Europe. One of my good friends Mischa, goes to Uni in the UK. We’ve been dreaming of a Parisian getaway for some time now. Flights only $800 bucks to London. I think I can manage saving up for it. I cant wait!! London, Paris, maybe visit my aunt in Spain!
I feel like I’m actually living now. I’ve been alive literally, but figuratively speaking I’m just now REALLY alive.
Leaving behind things or people that hold you back and keep you down is the best decision anyone could make.
Let the savings begin!!
On another note, pass the word along! Send your pledges my way!
I had an epiphany last night. I was watching the SAG awards and the lovely Viola Davis won Outstanding Female Actress in a Leading Role. In her speech she said “Dream big and dream fierce.”
I realized that I’ve been dreaming, but not big, nor fierce. I’ve been dreaming with fear of failure. I came to New York City with so many dreams. So many goals. So many adventures to go on. I’ve let the fear of failure lead the way instead of my hopeful heart.
Thank you Viola for reminding me why the heck I’m here. I came here to make my dreams come true.
Here’s to dreaming big and dreaming fierce.
