I've reached a point in my life where the idea of getting older is exciting when it's represented by gaining maturity and life experience. I used to be haunted by a hopeless feeling that there wasn't enough time to do something with my life. I thought youth held life's best moments wealthy with opportunities. I was sure I'd wasted them. I realize now that as I gain experience and learn, I find myself better equipped to enjoy life and utilize opportunity. I am willing to put forth effort where I couldn't find a point or purpose to before. I understand the importance of taking risks and trusting myself. If I balance my effort and desire for something by working as hard for it as I want it, I know I can succeed. With new confidence in myself and a love of acting, I've decided to move to LA and break into the acting biz. Hella for real, I'm like, so, totally moving to Cali. I have no delusions of how impossible it is to "break into" the business and make a lot of money. However, I'm sure there's a lot I can learn out there. I'll continue working for Trader Joe's and probably wait tables somewhere. Hellooo, actress stereotype. My very good friend Nick is coming with me (or I'm going with him). Most of his family lives in the LA area so we're staying with them for a couple weeks and then getting an apartment with his brother. I've been working my ass off the past few weeks and will stick it out here until mid October, which gives me time to see a piece of fall. I'm thoroughly stoked, y'all. Good night, Virginia.
