"You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending." - C.S. Lewis. Momentum is everything in this business; many a top talent has been deprived of showing the world just who they can be simply from the inability to create or maintain it.

Stay Motivated - The Locus Rule
A study was conducted in 1998 at Columbia University by a professor Claudia M Mueller, she took a large group of fifth graders and had them work on numerous puzzles by themselves now these were very challenging puzzles but regardless of how well each child did, he or she was told that they scored very well that they did better than most of the other kids, afterward half of these students were told that they scored high because they worked hard while the other half were told that.....

Fear is an illusion
I find myself climbing a ladder and as I look up, I realize I have so much further to go. I am not afraid of heights, but I am nervous to look down. I only have a few more feet to go before I reach the top when the word “breath” comes to mind. I can feel the warm breath of air release from my mouth as my hands grab onto the next bar of the ladder and my feet push me upwards.

Why We Need To Be Wrong
Growing up, many of us probably remember a time when our parents were the smartest people in the world. They knew the solutions to all our problems, and they could take on any situation. But eventually, we began to realize that they didn't have all the answers. In our rebellious teenage years, we likely realized that not only were they occasionally wrong, but more often than not they told us to disregard their errors, and take their opinions as valid prima facia. However, despite how young people often see adults as authoritarians, their life wisdom more often than not proved them correct when it really counted. Finally, when we become adults ourselves, and the people who have guided our lives have grown old and grey, it finally dawns on us. Those adults were just like we are, and nobody really knows exactly what they're doing.

There is no competition!
In life we all seem to have this way of looking at other peoples lives and comparing their own life to someone elses and its been made easier to do this now because of social media. We scroll through Instagram and see beautiful women with brand deals,who are building their own companys and going on amazing life changing hoildays and wonder how and why that isn't us or guys see other men buliding companys and getting amazingly expensive cars and having the hot girlfriend that everyone dreams off and wonders why it not them. Here's the thing that could be you. It'll take hard work and you'll need to educate yourself on business and investing, there will be bumps in the road and days you wanna give up but you get there but at the end of it all you will realise you were only in competition with yourself, you had to better yourself in order to be the better version and bet your old self at life.

A Summer At Harvard
You never know where life is going to take you. But at the same time, many of us have a certain intuition about where we want to take our lives. In a strange way, everything always seems to happen at just the right time. But we can only ever says such things in hindsight. While the past is set in stone, the future is uncertain, and that's what makes the whole game of living so much fun. Some people describe life as an hourglass with the top half covered. We know how much sand has fallen, but we don't know how much is left—could be a lot, could be a little. For that reason, each of us owes it to ourselves to make the most out of every picosecond we have, because beyond our short lives is a long continuum of time and space. We can't stop the flow of time, but by living wholly in the present, we can chart our own course.

Every step of the way
It has been a long ride so far... There are no words enough to describe this path, while some might call it a winding road, others will call it a difficult path, without forgetting those who call it an unpredictable path. And while I woundn't agree any less with them, I also wont forget those who see it as a learning road, a healing journey and a procress that lead to a greater outcome.

Open Letter to Readers
Hi! That seems like a good enough way to start. And while I'm at it, happy Non-Binary Visibility Day! Just to give some idea of who I am right away; I'm a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I fully support Black Lives Matter and I am educating myself daily on how to remain anti-racist, and I wear a mask out in public. I'm also a Sagittarius, a dog-lover and a vegetarian. I'm learning Gaelic on Duolingo and I love to read. And I hope you are staying safe in these chaotic times. We are all trying our best aren't we? I am fresh out of college and about as confused about my next steps as I could possibly be. I feel like the two roads diverging in the wood for me are currently shrouded in fog--or maybe smoke, because the woods are currently on fire. It was different when I graduated high school. I didn't have a clue what I was going to do then either, but there didn't feel like there was as much of an urgency. I had picked out a college, so I could satisfy any family member hungering to know what my 'next steps' were. I even knew what I would be studying, and had visited Iowa City, so I could talk a little bit about the campus area over dessert. I still have theoretical 'next steps' now. I would like more than anything to become an actual writer; a screenwriter with several passable films to my name. I'd like to move out to Los Angeles and establish myself. I'd like to own a dog (the cute pup in my profile picture is Tucker, my parents' Maltese). I'd like to meet a beautiful, passionate woman to spend my life with. But currently, I am in an intermission in my life; or a filler episode on the "Addy" TV show. I'm sure viewers at home would be quite bored to watch this episode as it aired, but as the titular character, I can assure you this is all quite stressful. In the writers' room, I'm staring at a blank page on Microsoft Word, the cursor blinking mockingly. Where does the story go from here, big authoress? Well, I suppose the story should at first exist. My writing has suffered as I have anxiously tried to anticipate my future. I've avoided the blank page like a horse avoids a snake; like I was expecting my laptop to slam itself shut on my unsuspecting fingers the instant I started to type. Turns out...that's not the case! I've almost finished this introduction, and there has not even been a momentary lapse of stability. All this to say, I don't know. This is a moment of immense flux for our whole world, and my own personal life is only a microcosm of the cultural shift to come. And I guess I'm here. I'm here and I see it all happening and I'm watching it with you. And I express myself best in writing. So keep tuning in, and hopefully you have some fun along the way!
