Back in Michigan from San Francisco. Coming down from this high is always difficult. At the same time, I’m still inspired and motivated to do something bigger with my life, something more than I have been doing. I’m very grateful for that boost, because now seems like a very active and creative point in my life. My film crew is getting together, I just finished in the Top 4 in a standup comedy competition, I’m making music in a band, I’m making friends, and I still have a few prospective projects around the corner. This is big for me. This is something I’ve needed for a long time.

Ultimately I need to just be, to keep up with things and to go with the flow. I need to be myself, be confident in my abilities. I can be impressed and inspired by others but I shouldn’t want to be them. When I create anything, I create it in my own light, and that’s the way any artist should work. I’m not here on this earth to follow in other people’s footsteps; I’m here to create my own path.
