Though I'm usually the quiet type of person, there's still so much I have to say. Especially once my emotions grow higher and higher. Though I'm still almost as reserved/shy as I've always been, I've grown to the point where I've become brave enough to talk to people more often. Especially when it comes to asking questions about something I've become curious about. There's so much going on on this planet and around me, I feel I'll never run out of people/places/things to talk about. Not only will this be a way to give my opinion on certain things, but you'll be able to attempt to see the world through my eyes. Get an idea of what it's like living where I've lived and going to the places I've been so far.

I was exremely close to giving up on this again. If I hadn't gotten to the point where I felt I hit rock bottom in my personal life, I probably would've never finished this newsletter or anything else I've started. There would've been no more photos or other future projects. No potential gigs. Goals being thrown away like garbage. I can't afford to lose all I've worked for and live the life I knew I didn't want. I made a pomise to myself. A woman keeps her word no matter what. I have to keep my word to myself. This journalism journey will have some trial and error, but I'm ready to complete the challenges that await me.
