I was sitting here watching some singing show with M and M tonight. Some of the contestants are quite young – one was just 15. I thought about how great it would be to know exactly what you want to do for the rest of your life and to be able to pursue it.

I then thought about myself and my situation and how I do know exactly what I want to do. I might not have known it at 15 years old, but I definitely know it now. And I know it without a doubt in my mind. I really want to create art. I want to create beautiful things and appreciate beautiful things for the rest of my life. I am feeling the courage to make that a reality growing inside of me. I can’t imagine doing anything else (well, aside from writing). I’m on the lookout for opportunities. I’m sure they’ll be presented.
