I have never been an open book, I have never wanted to share my thoughts with others, I have never been a risk taker, and I have never felt safer in doing any of it. Thats what the community at SoGoPro have done for me and I can never thank them enough for it. In a week I will be moving into my brand new apartment in Wilmington, NC. I will be away from my family (when they leave on Tuesday) and on my own for the first time in a couple years. I would have never made this decision or even thought that I had the strength to do it if it weren't for the wonderful people that hang around SGP (old and new webpages).
I have never wanted to share more or be more open than I have this year. If I feel it I want to write it. If I think it, more than likely it will end up here. And I know that all my thoughts and feelings will be read by people who truly care about me. It's an awesome feeling knowing that you have people to count on when you are changing your life. I might not get to talk to all of them very often and they may be thousands of miles away but I know that they support me and my dreams and that is all that is needed.
My journey is just beginning and I am a long ways away from being where I want to be but thanks to those who have influenced my life up until this point I know I can do it. From the people online to the people at home from my family and friends, I know that I can do this because there is a lot of love and support headed my way. I will see my movie made at some point in the future. I will see several others dreams made in the process. I am not starting out to be at the top. I am going to hit the trenches, work my way up and one day in the future I will see my name on that screen where I want it to be and I will know that I did everything I could to make it happen.
Thank you all for everything that you have done for me. Most of you don't even know that you have helped or influenced me at all but you have. The fire and drive that is inside me right now was ignited because of my good friends and my wonderful family (related and extended). I will try my hardest not to let you down and I will not give up in the face of rejection. I am destined to do something with this life and I am just learning what path that is taking me on. I hope all of you will be along for the ride with me.
