When I mourn the person I used to be, I fail to acknowledge the worth of the person I am becoming. Living in the past prevents focusing on the future. Although she will always have a special place in my heart, I am not that high school girl anymore. I am someone more authentic and mature. By putting energy and love into myself today, the monsters will slowly disappear. The truth: You can’t be who you were, but you can embrace who you are now. And when the thoughts become too much, remember the monsters are not real.
My pursuit of filmmaking isn't about accolades or recognition — it’s about the opportunity to tell stories that resonate deeply, challenge perceptions and contribute to a broader cultural conversation.
I made a few saves, and my dad came over to me, raving that he was proud of my first performance and reassuring that missed saves were not solely my fault — it was a team effort. I played goalie for a few more games and soon fell in love with the position.

“This is like some kind of miracle. A phenomenon,” shouted Deputy Gordon Cole, a “Twin Peaks” character played by the beloved David Lynch. And that’s what “Twin Peaks” was — some sort of phenomenon. It’s a show that proved TV could be a medium for artistic storytelling.
Students who work in service and retail jobs throughout high school and college may not graduate from Boston University with as many internships under their belt as their peers. But that isn't something to be ashamed of.
It’s that time of year again –– muahahahaha –– sorry for the maniacal laugh. I just love Christmas time so much that it makes me crazy. Crazy in a good way. Crazy in a Holiday Cheer way.
