June 15, 2022 creative direction on a tuesday morning
sitting at davis street talking about how we feel about creative direction, wished i grabbed the beginning of this conversation as well, but you can imagine how that went. creative direction is control over every aspect, only certain people can do that. it's important to know if that's your trajectory, are you going towards that, do you want that? do you want to be excellent at a specific piece of the puzzle or do you want vision over the whole. neither is more important, every role is as important (maybe not true, but humility is key to all of this). are you willing to do your role? are you willing to let someone else take control? you need to understand business as well as have great intuition and creativity if you want to be a creative director. are you directing or managing? can you speak to the business man and the creative? can you communicate your ideas articulately?

January 06, 2022 run toward your dreams
if your dreams are from God, why aren't you sprinting into them?
don't let other people tell you what your heart is saying. they don't know and sometimes you don't even know. do your best to hear God's voice and follow it. when you hear God, when you feel your heart move in a direction, go fully after it. we all have our own themes in life, we are all the main character of our story, will yours end like the movies? talking about struggles with family in this one, not much, but getting some words out there on the subject. we all have the conflict of the story, how will you overcome yours? i'm really excited for the future and for the dreams i can see forming into reality in my life. at the same time i'm trying to figure out what my real goals are and asking "will they ever satisfy"?
i hate when kids, children, say no. it feels so unnatural. people say it's super natural, but i think adults say it so much that the children hear it most and begin speaking it early. i never listened to the "no". i'm stubborn and so far it's led to a lot of success. i'm so glad i stuck to my heart. i haven't been perfect and it hasn't been, but where i am right now, proves my heart/the spirit of God to be right in my life.
