It looks like things are on the up and up after all. I may even end up actually moving out to Los Angeles pretty soon. I'm not going to lie, I'm very stoked about it. I wanted to see L.A. for a long time. I know I always end up getting what I want in the scope of things, so now, I'm happy this agency may be providing a way. This is good news for me since I have been wanting to leave Atlanta for a while now.
I've done a lot here. I've moved here as a teenager, graduated school, and even went to college here. The rest feels like it has been a hazy dream. A downward spiral of family, past friends, and even darker relationships that led me to a spiritual awakening. I am truly honored and blessed that things went upward from where I came from. I spent a long time working in a retail store and from there I learned a great many things.
The first major thing that hit me, was this overwhelming sadness. I was content for what I had, but I always had this feeling like I could do so much more with my life. Slowly but surely, I sought out inspiration for what to do with my life. I had once again ignored drawing, and it came back to haunt me ferociously. Every time I tried to ignore being an artist, my mind would feel "lost". Thanks to a few good friends, I was able to free myself of that environment and allow myself to explore what I am supposed to actually be.
I've since left retail as of one year ago today. I managed a room for rent in a house in Midtown for a while too. I do miss that place though. As of now, I'm in Buckhead with some friends. I know I'll have my own place again soon and I am so ready for it to happen. I know that I will have everything I desire, and now I am letting it all happen.

I have had a very interesting year thus far. I have finally moved away from the stressful work environment that was debilitating to my life....

As a black man, I carry a weight while living within the United States. It's versions of oppression and selective racism are no stranger...
