What I Love...

I love creating things. I love being able to think up solutions.
I love the way music makes me feel. I love the way a movie stirs me up.
I love being able to give back to these fields in whatever way I can.
I love making people fall in love with music, movies and stories.

Don't know if I love people as much, or if it means I do.
Don't know if I love anyone or maybe I do.

I just know that I love feeling alive.

Music and movies do that to me. You'll find me smiling from the heart with them.
Babies do that to me. You'll find me teary eyed with joy for them.
Animals do that to me. I go weak in the knees for them.

I think 'people' help balance this dose in my life of feeling innately happy with a sprinkling of trying and sad times.
After all, happiness without moments of pain is monotonous and boring. For that then I'm truly blessed with the best of people and continue to find more of them on my journey.

I know one thing's for sure.

I love my life.

Wishing everyone who reads this a wonderful life.
Make it a good one folks!

Quotes

Man I have missed my life. Miss my movies and my info tripping. Miss learning new ways to be creative thru tutorials, Miss my writing, Miss my bikes. Miss my music. Miss my guitar. Miss my loved ones. Miss my dumbbells. Miss my full head of hair, it's gotten worse this last month. (gulfies will agree here) And that too I'm never the one to get homesick. I know now how I can make the next time even more fruitful. Transitions in life can get taxing sometimes. But I thank my stars for my loving parents, my awesome Uncle and Aunt, my cute cousin Chereze, my bro Jude, Shirley, Reena, Zubin, Merwin, Ajay, Ameesha,Rinel, Janice, Annabelle, Savio, Enrique and Ryan. Couldn't have done it without y'all. Some of u know that I had some mental health threatening moments. I thank you for keeping me sane by being there for me. Means a hell lot. Most of all a big big thanku to the newest person in my life. U make everything go away at just the sight of u. Tons of hugs and kisses to ya sweetie. God bless y'all always.
