Who I am is who I am and I'm excited for who I am to be who I am and everyone else seeing that who I am is who I am. Excited? OHhhhh yeah... i know.. it's cool we got this. you and me, baby. Let's show'em what's up around town, maybe ride a bike or two... maybe a tandem one. That's how much we got this.

Build Your Repertoire
Hey there. Been a while. So much goin on in life.
I'm taking gymnastics, contemporary dance, ballet, and hip hop. I'm also taking a guitar class. And i've been doing artwork and spending time with my sister and friends. So much stuff goin on. Here's a peak:
FYI, there has been a lull as of late in my activity. I've missed classes and such. It's because i've taken them for granted and gotten lazy.At the beginning of the year, everything was new and exciting. It has become routine and i've slowed my passion. I've let an opportunity pass me by.. to be an extra in a student film with my friend Gunnar as one of the leads. Do not let yourself think you are doing ENOUGH to get your dreams. Do more, while staying sane of course ;)
YOU MUST CHANGE FROM WITHIN
You need to reinvigorate your love for your passion all the time. Do things that inspire your passion. For me, it's watching Glee hehe.
So yeah... no class or coach or opportunity can do anything for you unless you apply yourself and take responsibility to make yourself a better dancer, musician, actor. FOCUS. And LOVE WHAT YOU DO so much that you do it always everywhere.

Embrace Vulnerability. It is a strength.
Contrary to popular belief, vulnerability is a strength.
The secret is: when it comes to yourself and feelings, there is nothing to be ashamed of, ever. Every feeling you have is valid. Every experience you have is valuable to your identity. If others are going to put you down for it, they're only doing disservice to themselves. It's only when you value others' confidence over your own that you fall. And artists got no time for this cuz artists know their vulnerability is what empowers their creation, their craft! Now get to work.
Be professional and take yourself seriously. You have a great work ahead of you.
Vulnerability is so particularly powerful in acting because it is what everyone else is afraid to show and yet it is something we all experience and wish we could show to others without fear. Let's show it, regardless! Be unembarrassed to portray emotions that exist in life; those are the only ones that matter.
Be confident and professional in the art of expression!
btw, we are our own worst critic so no one needs to be told their flaws. i am aware of all'a mine. embrace it. this is what it means to be vulnerable, to put yourself out there, flaws and all. It adds to your character as a human being.
Love yourself more than anyone. Like yourself more than anyone. Be healthy. And you will have a great life.

So here you have it.. about to get real.
VIDEO CONTEXT: moving away from my best friend, simultaneously going through extreme heartbreak; it is going to be hard; deciding to be my biggest support, to uplift my life. tone: peace, somber joyful tears. Every experience characterizes you. Use it.

thank you One Tree Hill
This past year has been a lot of hell but I'm slowly coming back. Maybe I'll mention it at some point but for now, I'm just excited to post this because it has been a year and i am finally excited enough about something in my life again. And what do you know? It's story, music, acting! And I am rejuvenated, at peace, and excited about life again.
I picked up again on One Tree Hill after a few year stint of not watching it after Payton and Lucas left. I'm back in it and I'd forgotten how great it is. Tearing up, getting emotional, scared, laughing hysterically, or getting super excited about life, it inspires me.
This one is freaky. It is a nightmare sequence. I would say viewer discretion is advised. But, it's hilarious too.
This. This is it. I love music and acting. And here we are. This song inspired some excitement in me that I haven't known for the past year. I can do this. I can do this life the way I want.
Both of the above clips are from Season 8 Episode 6 (a halloween episode, i might ad--my absolute favorite holiday)
Lip-singing with headphones in watchin the video above... feelin good and lovin it.. you can play the video above at the same time so there's actual audio. i just wanted to post this becuz it's odd but i felt so good i don't care!
