I was down months ago… more like years ago. Confused on where my life was headed and not realizing the journey in front of me. I thought I should be in New York, designing, and changing peoples perception of art & design. I hated being in California, nobody and nothing was important to me. I had a terrible attitude and was very insecure. If you knew me, there wasn’t much you could say about me. I closed myself off to everyone, rarely sharing my point of view, I tried to be invisible. Thinking everyone would leave me alone, I was asking for people to hate me. I felt like a plague roaming around empty and desperate to be saved.

Now, I’m here. Proud of my journey and appreciative of my growth so far. I want to share my story. Ya know, I went so far I thought of taking my life, because I didn’t want to be a burden to anyone or to me. For one split second I wanted it to be over, my dreams we no longer irrelevant. But then, in a blink of an eye I wised up, realizing how much I hate pain and how much I would miss the people in my life.

Life is hard, something teachers don’t teach. I mean hard like, finding yourself can leave you in a pickle ( if that phrase makes sense… sounds good though) and sometimes your plans won’t always fall through. Nobody tells you that change is good and growth should be welcomed. I know my purpose on earth is to help guide those who are confused, through my art, which is my voice. It’s times like these, I wish I could hug myself and say you did it!

I feel extremely accomplished more than I can say. I’m blessed for those that are in my life and excited for whoever I cross paths with. I leave you with this, ending your life isn’t worth it. Always know you were made to be strong, your mind is powerful not weak, so use it! Stand tall, fight the good fight,  and at the end of the day you have the chance to say… I made it!
