I decided to go on this journey because I was constantly reaching this head where I felt like I had more to share with the world. I come from a background of being heavily ridiculed/bullied, as a child going into my teenhood I developed this protection over my identity. I would really hide myself from the world even after leaving that environment once I graduated. Rachel was always/still is a representation of what it means to truly blossom and not give a fcuk. My friend ran across her video that I watched probably 100 times. She told me about the course in the description and in a weird way it just felt right. I had no idea how I was going to manage to pay for this but I knew that I needed to take it.

As far as what I enjoyed, I really enjoyed learning a new approach to video creation. It is hard sometimes to really build off of ideas in your head into a process of it actually becoming real. This experience really allowed me to explore my own formula of the creative process and now I am able to have the confidence to really make anything I am struggling with or learning into art. I also loved meeting other creatives. I managed to form beautiful bonds with people that I did not know at first, this really felt like a second family in a weird way lol. I have so much love for all of you and it's one of those experiences that you smile about when you think about it. It was extremely tough and at one point I was having thoughts of giving up. Having a community behind me to support me and work through my problem areas really helped me in those moments. I started to understand that sometimes this is just as equally a part of the creation process as are the more triumphant, flow-like moments.
