I am sitting on the hotel ground on the 17th floor in the 14th room through glass windows overlooking mountains and the city of Burbank, California. Why am I sitting here you may wonder, to contemplate-- to understand an end of a dream (possibly temporary) I have been chasing for the last year. Lately my posts, tweets and videos have been on questioning-- it seems to be that 24 is a pivotal point for me. I have never questioned life, my purpose, my journey more.
It amazes me how fast things in life can be taken away, how quick the dreams of those who have worked so hard can be in the hands of so few and how life lessons always seem to come in unexpected packages.
I am a young free spirit--thrilled and motivated by the next planned trip and by challenges that I set for myself to become better. I continuously attempt to push down barriers of negativity with my persistence in spreading positivity. I don't find myself dulled or disappointed often, but here I am staring out these windows.
I don't want to get too far in the weeds with the particular circumstance that has me, today, in such a shade of gray. However, I will say that if you are reading this and ever thought for one second that life hands opportunities on a silver platter- that I want to know where that is-- because even in moments where everything seems aligned and that all that could have been done was done nothing can stop someone knocking on your door to tell you that you've been cut from an opportunity and it had nothing to do with you-- but that opportunity did not meet time simultaneously.
They say everything in life happens for a reason... maybe the reason is that my opportunity will be next and destiny will pay back in greater dividends the next go-round. I hope this serves as motivation that even though the biggest opportunity has been taken away at the final leg of this race-- that I will be persistent, as we all should for the things we want and deeply motivated to do.
