Early on in 2017, my life had reached an all time low. It hadn't turned out at all like I had hoped or expected it would. I was faced with a decision to either dwell on the pain and darkness, or to choose to see the beauty of each day regardless of circumstance. I picked up a camera and starting vlogging, making videos, and taking photos as often as I could. Making videos has changed the way I see the world and how I live my life. I've chosen to say goodbye to preditability, stability, and certainty. What good is any story if you can always predict what will happen next?
