Just life, I guess

It's funny because somewhere inside of you, you know the right path for your life. For some reason, me and basically everyone else I know, battles this path and keeps themselves 'busy' to avoid what really needs to be lived. I'm sick of living that life, of keeping myself busy to avoid the fear of failing at what really matters.

You have to give up your fake dream first. So if you're on the same path as me and you know you're not living the right life you should be living, I hope this makes you feel better.

I'm dropping really crappy time consuming class, but in the process, I'm losing my scholarships. Gah. But I have to remind myself that I have 14 classes left, and every single one is hard as fuhhhhh, and I don't know if I can go full time anyways to receive those scholarships...
I don't know, I'm tired. I'm rambling. I've had a lot to think about today. I just know I'm on to a more meaningful life.
Why is it so hard dropping the things that don't matter? For the fear that our fake plan won't work out? By doing what your heart says, you can stop wasting so much time.

So cheers to me, cheers to you. I hope this helps.

vegan in vegas

Imagine a life where you feel energized throughout the day. It's easy to go to bed in the morning. Meal time is always enjoyable. You feel great after a meal, not sloggish and bleh. Best part about it, for a girl like me, is the absence of mood swings.

It's called veganism. I wouldn't even call it veganism, because people have a negative association with vegans. They think they're some hardcore malnourished hippies trying to save the animals. They think vegans are super strict with their diet. Most are. I'm a loose definition of a vegan.

I eat raw, healthy foods because it makes me feel great consistently.

People see, but it doesn't fully register, that food is the fuel that works your body. Healthy foods allow for clearer thinking and realizations and translates into meaningful actions that ultimately affect your life.

It sounds like a far stretch to those who don't eat clean foods, but for those health nuts out there, you know what I'm talking about.

So, my diet consists of various types of beans, nuts, fruit, lots of veggies, quinoa, and green tea, sometimes with honey. About once a week I eat fish.

I'm not doing this to save the animals, although it is a plus. I do it because it's my health and it's worth it.

WHOA BABY!

I just made a new vlog and I used Cherub's song 'Doses and Mimosas'. If you've never heard the song before take a second and watch my video, it's like killing two birds with one stone!

Yay

This process has become a lot faster for me. Filming, editing, promoting. I'm proud to say that over 3 months I have 10,000 video views, and 275 subscribers.
I've made 12 videos: 9 vlogs, 1 contest, 1 music video, and 1 how-to.

I just wrote all my friends who write and asking for ideas, because I'm making a short film.
It's certainly a different media of video. A lot more thought goes into a short film, and not to mention minds. Everyone I have filmed has been completely unscripted so I'm excited to see how this goes.

Earlier today I watched a good hours worth of Adobe After Effects tutorials and I'm excited to use it in my future videos. I can REALLY get creative with After Effects.
I tried to use Adobe Premier for editing on my last vlog but I was in a time crunch and wasn't too fluent in it. Hopefully, next time.

Finally ordered a tripod and a bigger sd card, I was using 8 gigs before (I knowwwwwww, right). Both of those are really needed. I want a new lens but I don't have the money for that right now. Tutoring only pays for my gas money but I'm hoping one day I'll win a contest and then I can buy better lens :)
I also bought the new ipod touch 5.
I do not have a smart phone. Yeah, I want one, but I'm broke and I'm still under my moms plan and I can't afford buying a smart phone AND paying for the data plan.
However, we're breaking away from tmobile in a year. I couldn't wait, so I bout myself the ipod touch 5. I'm really excited about it. I can finally have instagram and music and other apps and I can become socially blind/rude like the rest of you haha.
I'm hoping I can own this social media thing so I can branch out to more viewers and people to collaborate with.

So, 3 months later and things have changed a lot.

Advice to all of those who want to get into film, just start filming.
