"We all have off days."
This past year or so have been interesting and formative, and ultimately, I’m thankful and grateful to so many people. For helping through the hard times, for breaking me down and for challenging me. I’m in Los Angeles, at a job that I love, in a field that I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life working in. I have so much to be thankful for.
Without my family I would be no where, the strength and resilience that my mother and brother gave me, the advice and support of my father- I am so thankful for all that they give me and continue to give me.
To my friends that stood by me and to the new ones that have developed in LA. I am so grateful for those late nights commiserating about joblessness and the crazy stories about the industry. I’m so excited to keep growing our relationships and fueling the creative fires that we all have.
Before getting to Los Angeles, I lot of people talked about how nasty the people in Hollywood can be. But I’ve been lucky and so thankful for all the amazing people that I have met so far. The mentorship and advice that I have been given has been invaluable, I can’t wait to learn more from all of these talented people.
Thanks to all of the people that stood in my way, broke my heart, say no, and try to ruin my life. Conflict sucks, but it is hell of a motivator, and always learning experience. Keep challenging me, so I can get better.
Thank you to all the amazing creators out there inspiring me and pushing me to work harder. I want to thank all of my teachers and coaches at Carolina for helping and and teaching me, in the classroom and beyond. Thank you to everyone that gave me the tools and skills to keep growing and to keep living.
It’s scientifically proven that gratitude helps with health, so this is a selfish ploy on my part. But I am really so thankful for everyone in my life, good or bad. Here’s to another year of celebrating a holiday with a terrible historical origin, but a great heart that gets cannibalized for capitalism cause stuff is pretty cool.
