Today I learned...

Being surrounded by my best friends with a camera in my hand is the best feeling in the world. Seeing all the images and footage that I capture is so rewarding.

Today I learned...

Kingmaker is doing things right. They're all meant to be exactly where they are. They love doing what they're doing, and they're good at it. I guess I've known that for awhile, but it hit home when they played their first show back since the fire. For the first time in five years, I had tears in my eyes while I was shooting. I love those guys.

Today I learned...

I have a direction and I'm going for it.

Today I learned...

I'm making the right decisions.

Today I learned...

I have some of the coolest friends a girl could ask for and they are the best. I like laughing.
I'm very good at getting situations in order and I like taking charge, but things don't always go as planned. You can't rely on everyone in the professional world.

Today I learned...

starting over is tough.

Today I learned...

"You Have My Attention" is a hard song to get out of your head, but I'm not complaining.

Today I learned...

that I'm in love.

Today I learned...

that I'm growing up.

Today I learned...

that no matter what, under every burden that becomes me, I have the ability to be happy. And nothing can take that away from me.

Today I learned...

I have a purpose, and that purpose is inspiring.

Today I learned...

There is a method within everything.

Today I learned...

Things take time and effort to heal themselves. Even after you have a problem fixed, it can still jump back out at you. Life never stops. Not even for one second.

Appreciate what you have, because it doesn't last forever.

Today I learned...

...that bad days go away.

Today literally started out as a terrible horrible no good very bad day. And now it's alright. I talked to someone that I haven't seen in 3 years and probably haven't talked to in at least 6 months. Hearing that people are doing well makes me happier than anything, especially when I know they deserve it.

Today I learned...

... this is for real.

Today I learned...

... three years doesn't make something hurt less. But surrounding yourself with best friends and good times does.

Today I learned...

...that I have the best friend a girl could ask for.

Today, I learned...

...that I stand out.


[I suppose I should explain a few things. Today, during one of my classes I got this idea to start an online journal of sorts. I want to talk about something that I learn (good or otherwise) every single day. I don't have any time limits, and I'm not gonna beat myself up if I miss a day or two (although I hope I don't). I don't know if I'll explain everything. Sometimes I think it's best to leave an open end to things. Leaves room for interpretation later on.


We'll see how it turns out. I'm very excited to be able to look back on this in the years to come.]
