As of now...

           I couldn't be happier than ever with how things are going. As of now I'm a member of Noah University, which is a mentoring opportunity for those looking for help to find the path directed for their career opportunity. The more I learn from it, the more I feel like I picked up a new step to getting closer to where I would like to be.
        I think about packing my bags and moving on to New York for a year, just to see what it is all about. For 20-something years, I have been sheltered in a little town not far from Fresno, CA that has no artistic opportunity to aspire to. I have been dying to move to LA, but do you ever have that urge to just pack up and go somewhere you'd like to just see something new outside of your home state? Don't get me wrong, I'm a California girl through-n-through, but with a lot of fear and reasons I held myself back from taking steps, I feel like NOW... it seems right. Though I can't say I am going to up and do it, it's still something that I would love to do. What do you think?
        So far I'm coming up with new illustrations of people I have met in my life, and just some that resemble a character of a person I have met. While this, I'm still trying to find some experience in my life. Meaning art experience in internships.
        If I had to leave today giving a lost soul a piece of advice, or if I had to give the younger me a piece of advice... it would be to never let anyone hold you back from doing what you actually desired. Don't set on just one thing.. give yourself every opportunity possible and say this is where you want to be not what someone else wants for you. Because you're worth every minute of what life will bring, even the downfall and unexpected become a reason of a second chance and a better destination.
