It's easy to get caught up in the craziness that is life. The current president of the United States has only driven the country to divide further, the doomsday clock is closer to midnight than it has been in years, and all the while you still see people worrying over their manicure and how many likes they have on Instagram. It's sickening, I know. But while we struggle dealing with day to day tragedies going on in the world, we can't stop fighting and striving for our dreams.

It's easy to get sucked up into the ideas that this world is too awful to try to find yourself in it. But the truth is, is that if we all decided to just stop following our hearts and do what's easy because life is too hard, there would be no passion. There would only be shells of people who once had dreams and aspirations. I've found myself losing track of my goals in life lately. Between my college courses, my job, my sorority, and my part time internship starting in the next couple of days my long term goals have taken a back seat.

I love to choreograph, write scripts, and direct. The last few years of my secondary education I was given the tools and opportunity to explore the interest and grow through them. My heart is with the arts, but I'm currently pursuing a bachelor of science degree as an arts administration major, which leans towards the business side. But I am a creator, I love to pull apart a song and put steps to it, as well as tell people how and where to put the steps. I love to make people laugh. My dry, dead pan humor could warm the coldest of hearts. I love these gifts I was given but the world we live in is so money oriented and the current direction of the United States is so arts negative.

I will never stop fighting for my passions because they are my end plan. I just get so caught up in my short term goals that I forget about the long term ones. Never give up on your long ones.
