The years have turned like the pages of a book. Made up of memories, scars and dreams. It feels like a lifetime, yet I've only just begun. The beginning of my story, the beginning of my life.
I've always been one to look up at the stars. I've never been afraid to dream. No dream is too big, nor to small. I've already reached a dream that no one thought I would reach. To me that is a victory. Write, Direct, Edit. Those were my dreams. I'm one step closer. Soon I won't be an outsider looking in. The 13 year-old me would be jumping for joy (literally). The 22 year-old me is doing that figuratively. Those artistic dreams are now only part of the story.
As you get older, life throws your curve-balls and hands you new meanings. A light bulb turns on. You change. Some people are afraid of change. I used to be. Now, I love it and embrace it. It's what makes life, life.
I look forward to so much more than movies. I don't want to do films for fame and fortune. I want to do it for a passion. I write as a passion, but the films aren't the only passion I have now. I can't wait to see who I'll spend my life with (I'll be the lucky one there). I can't wait for the day I become a father and get to watch my kids grow. I can't wait for the late nights and early mornings of childcare. The endless watching of baseball, or soccer games (if they choose to play). I can't wait for the whole package. Family is everything.
God has blessed me with a wonderful life filled with wonderful people. Wonderful dreams, memories and stories. He has humbled me with some not great ones too, but that's what keeps me moving, keeps me wanting to be great. He has made me a better person. A better friend. And one day, a better husband. I want the chance to show him how great I can be.
The road ahead is long and winding. I look forward to every step of it.
