Reflections of 2006
Last year was very interesting. I can describe 2006 in 2 ways:
1 - It was one of the worst years of my life
2 - It was one of the best years in my life
I'm just glad it's OVER WITH.
Seriously, time for a new start. I have a new life here; a new independent life. I don't need to hear someone's voice to get myself through my day, I don't need to be told I'm loved, and I definetely am not the weak little boy I once was. I think I've changed so much this past year. California really is toughening me up. Living in Boyle Heights really has changed my perspective on life and survival. I took the biggest step in my life and made it. I've been out here for about 10 months now, and though I've grown accustomed to being alone, I love it. 2007 is going to be a big year for me. This is the year where I will get paid to produce and compose music. I can feel it. I will finally get paid for doing what I love fulltime for a living. Most people who come out here barely make it if they even do make it their first year. I overcame everything, including my car being totalled, and now look at me.
I work at the 3rd largest music company IN THE WORLD.
I have MY OWN PLACE IN LOS ANGELES.
I survived living in a gang covered territory for 4 months without a gunshot wound.
I've made SO many connections out here.
There are still many obstacles to overcome, such as not trusting anyone but myself (which even at times I struggle with). I know that I have a long way to go, but I'm ready to face whatever comes my way head-on. BRING IT.
