The Beginning
“be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.”
As i begin this next chapter of my life, I hope to keep track of my thoughts. I’ve found that through writing I gain confidence and clarity in what is happening, and in reading I explore new ideas, and experiences. hopefully this can help me gain clarity, and allow others to join me on one helluva ride.
I am currently on plane flying home from Los Angeles where I spent about a week exploring what’s next. this week was spent learning the area, looking at hundreds of apartment listings online, way too many trips to Ikea, a trip to the beach with a fellow CO girl, and sorting through potential roommates :)! This is a terrifying yet exciting time in my life and I could not be more motivated to figure things out. Self sufficiency… cool right?
I keep trying to imagine what this next year has in store for me. I can confidently state that I have no idea, and I could not be more excited. I’m eager to LEARN what this world has to offer me.
My mind often mimics the questions that I get asked far to often by old friends, and teachers I run into in public places. “what’s your plan?” i once counted 24 times in one day that I got asked this question. frustrating? yes. but i understand. These people helped raise me, they deserve to know that i am not throwing my life away. but if you really know me, and you know who you are, you know that no matter what this life can throw my way, i will be armed with faith, mentors, a camera, and a lot of dancing to process my battles. This is only the beginning.
