I have always prided myself on being a “Yes” person. There are countless opportunities & experiences that I have been granted just because I took the leap of faith and said “Yes!” Don’t get me wrong, there are also a handful of situations I have left feeling as if I had used up the last of my luck. As I grow older, yes this is a quarter life reflection post; I start to have a higher value on my life. It may make me less carefree & childish but there is a certain level of accomplishment that you have been conditioned to feel when you “life efficiently,” in the terms society has taught us. I always try to constantly remind myself to not take things so seriously & sometimes the right way for me is not the traditional path. Luckily growing up my parents were always my biggest supporters. I can truly say I had an amazing childhood & still continue an amazing relationship with both my parents. They always instilled in me to find something you are passionate about and learn how to make money at it. Always supporting whatever creative expedition I wanted to take.

Seeing my sister grind her way through her Bachelor’s of Science I knew that was not the path for me. I could only apply that much work and commitment to something if I was passionate about it. I applaud her determination every day, but I knew I had to find a different route. Those realizations lead me to The Art Institute. I considered traveling for school, but after years of moving, I was ready to settle down. I am forever grateful to my experience there. It nurtured my creativity and gave it direction. I pushed myself to produce the best content & excel at every task that I was given. My efforts paid off & I graduated on the Presidents Honor Roll.

I do believe the reason I have always prided myself on being a “Yes” person is because my parents have encouraged me to live this life not necessarily in the conventional way. Yes, I may hold my day-to-day responsibilities to more esteem than I once use to that is all part of growing up. It is all part of your life having some sort of direction. I am unsure on where my end point may be but for now I plan on continuing my creative outlet, this website, and say yes to the every opportunity I can.
