Year One

What a difference a year makes......


     You know, for the last few weeks I've been thinking about this post. Thinking about how I was going to sum up this year. How I would remanence over just how life changing this year has been. And now that I'm actually sitting here and typing.....I've got nothing.  All this time I wanted for this to be this big epic thing about how far I've come. But now all I can think about is where I'm going. 

I'm getting ahead of myself, let's start from the beginning....


     On the morning of July 4th, 2014, my dad and I loaded up my car with everything I own, and set out on the most significant road trip I'd ever take. We landed the next night, I started working 2 days later, and had my own apartment by the end of the week. It was a lot all at once, and to this day I have absolutely no idea how I did it. That first job took me until February the following year, and by the end of it all I could think about was changing careers. For the next couple of months I worked a few different jobs here and there, had some big interviews, and constantly contemplated moving back home. Thank God I didn't.


     I've learned so so much about myself over this past year. A ridiculous amount, to be honest. It has led me to question everything I ever thought I knew. And if it seems like I've left a lot out of this post, well, I have. Very recently I realized that my life is ahead of me, and what's behind me is there for a reason. And with that being said, I have an announcement to make:

I have just accepted my first writing job. I'll be serving as an Associate Producer on a documentary crime series (think Forensic Files). And this September, I will officially be moving New Orleans.

My oh my, what a difference a year makes.
