The act of striving itself is meaningful. I KNOW my North Star, I KNOW where I want to go in life. Responsibility…reminds of Spider-Man. Everyday when I come home from my college class or work, I enter this realm of possibilities, where solitude becomes my companion and the catalyst to my strength. Outside the realm of work and school, I enter another realm, a void between worlds and I create. I write. I read. I self-reflect. I pick up my film camera. I find pleasure in the simple things and joy results from that acknowledgement.

When I decided to take up more responsibility at 16, all my other friends looked at me like I’m crazy but 4 years later, I’m about to graduate with 2 degrees, self-publish a book, and maximize my authenticity not for the world but for myself. For the little boy who had dreams of going in adventures and exploring the world.

I love reading your work and I’m grateful for the insight you’ve shared.
