If you stop to think about how people perceive our lives, many think of one metaphor:
"The Long and Winding Road"
It's beautiful, isn't it?
For some people, their own paths have lots of twists and turns, down branches and other obstacles that stand in their way. Others have gentle slopes, beautiful rivers and wonderful scenery to enjoy.
Anyway you look at it, each person has a different path... but most importantly, it's how they handle the obstacles on that path.
This blog, is about the journey down my own long and winding road... Yeah, it's cliche` (sort of dramatic) but I like it and I want to share the experience as I live through it.
Throughout my life, my road has been filled with twists and turns, ups and downs, and sure... a few branches were thrown down in my way... and at some moments... possibly my lowest moments, I felt that I was going through my journey alone...
But I wasn't.
I was always able to regroup, able to cut down the branches in my way and still have time to enjoy the scenery around me...
Yeah, that sounded a little corny.
What I'm trying to say, is that my life has thrown me a lot of obstacles and I guess, in a way, I've always impressed myself how I get through it. Though, I wished I would have been able to document it and have a way to look back on it and say "Wow, I've grown so much since then..."
So this is where it begins...
I'm entering a very important stage in my life that I really feel I should document... not in an attempt to be pretentious, to be funny or to get myself any kind of attention... I truly want to share my life with the rest of the world, so I can eventually... take a step back and artistically and analytically look back on my life and say...
"Wow..."
I want to document my dreams, my goals, what's happening, where I'm going, what challenges I'm facing... I want to record it all into one funny, tragic, happy, sad, beautiful story... and it will all be my own.
Somewhere in time, I'm going to thank myself for doing this.
To grow as an artist, as a filmmaker and as a human being... I believe that I need to watch myself grow first.
And it all starts now...
