It's odd to think that I've only been in LA for a week. It feels like so much longer. It's a strange feeling to enter a place that instantly feels like home, yet still feels so foreign. Hollywood is an entirely different beast than anything I've ever encountered. Although everyone here has their own history and background, it seems that most share common dreams of fame, stardom, celebrity, or power. The talent in this city is undeniable; yet it begs the question: "What does it really take to make it?" It is obvious that talent alone cannot be the deciding factor. It seems that drive and tenacity play a larger part. It can be both inspiring and daunting to find so many talented people in one location. Everyone wants to be an actor, model, singer, musician, writer, producer, etc. However, it is clear that not all will see their dreams come to fruition. For some, the fantasy of what they want their lives to be will never become reality. So how do you cope when the passions that seemingly give you life cannot sustain the life you want to live? I cannot speak for anyone else; but as for me, failure is not an option. Failure is the acceptance of defeat. But life is not a game of win or lose. We are the architects of our own future. With Gods grace, mercy, and favor...my empire awaits my arrival. Stay tuned...the best is yet to come.
