Destination: Success

Sometimes life gives you lemons and when the occasion arises I add a whole lot of sugar into the mix. This past month the mood has been exactly that: ups and downs with some good news sprinkled in. I have been in such a grumpy gills type of mood. The one where your insides are going at full speed uncontrollably and all you can do is just sit still because everything around you frustrates you to no end. I did a lot of looking back on these last several years and realized how fortunate and lucky I have been. I got to dream of something bigger than life and in a lot of ways the little goals I have had along the way have come to fruition. I realized I succeeded in crossing off so much from my life goals.

The last month however was definitely tough to go through. From Graduation to my internship at RED ending. I didn’t know how to process everything in. Fortunately for me I have great friends to advise me on not panicking or getting anxious. One friend even mentioned that when the time was right something epic will come along. This past week I have been looking for a job and my best friend (aka wifey for lifey) sent me a forwarded email. I quickly responded to the email because I didn’t want to wait around for someone else to come in and swoop it from under me. We emailed each other back and forth for a week until we finally got around to having a phone interview. Upon immediately talking to him about the position I can tell this is someone that was passionate about everything he did and was one of those genuine LA people who works hard for what they want. What was also nice was that when I was talking to him about why I want to work in music. He could relate 100% with everything I said. Either he’s been there and knows exactly how it feels or he is going through the same things I am going through. We talked about struggling to find that spark that lit the fire within and when I was through with the interview. I felt the spark lit up once again. I am sure he felt that too. I was definitely excited to find someone that gets me. Like everything we said to each other clicked. I’m excited to work with him and see this company grow in both size and heart.

I am also working hard on ideas, plans, etc for Urban Rock as well. It’s definitely hard work but I love it. It’s going to be something that will always make me infinitely happy. Urban Rock is the epitome of my love for music, life and everything that it brings us. Every single one of my next steps will go towards an end goal of CALIFORNIA. It honestly doesn’t matter to me what everyone thinks of this move because I know in my heart that it will make me ten times stronger than I already am now. Aside from that I will feel much happier and my stress-level and sanity will stabilize itself once again. Not to say that being in this city isn’t a blessing but its sure made me well-aware of the world. I just feel like there’s something out there for me and if I don’t seize the day…it’ll be gone forever. For me this is my second chance at life and my second wind. The photo above was taken by my dear friend and was post-processed by yours truly. I absolutely love the t-shirt I am wearing because that is HOPE in a tri-blend shirt. I am one-step closer to CALIFORNIA and I am not stopping for anyone.
