DREAMS (Are Not Easy)

I feel that having all this free time is a sign. A sign that I should be using it to work on my skills as a storyteller and filmmaker. That’s what I want to be. So why can’t I work at it and make it happen? A part of me thinks that it’s just going to happen one day. That’s not the case. I have to work at it and fight for it. AND PRACTICE!!!!

So I should be using this time. But it’s hard to when I have a bunch of other stuff on my mind. I feel like I need to get things straight with my life before I dive into my career. Which is the complete opposite of what I was thinking when I was in school. It’s funny how things like that change so drastically. But I guess that’s life.

However, regardless of what’s going on in my life, and all the problems I have, I need to be working on my goals; career and other. Becoming a director is not easy by any means. It takes time. That’s why I need to be using my time to get there. I will try. I have to. It’s my dream. It’s important to have dreams and not give up on them.
