"When you learn, teach."

Some of you might be wondering what the point of this blog is. Allow me to explain. This past semester (college student) I found myself in a dark place. I was reserved. I went from class to my room, where I would sit for most, sometimes the whole day, in the dark. Phone off, ignoring my family and friends. At the time I was  not sure what got me there or even what was keeping me there. Things are clearer to me now.I was an out of shape mediocre student, struggling financially, dying creatively, and resenting it all. Happiness is a perspective. Inspiration stems from experience. You cant have either of those things in a dark room. I used to be like most of the world. Waiting for happiness and opportunity to fall out of the sky. I knew I wanted to be act since I was 5 years old.  So I challenged myself to make this year count. Make this year different. I challenged myself to live as a jewel. I am on my way to greatness and I would love to share my journey with you.
This blog is the first step. In sharing my truth, I hope to inspire others to find the Jewel in them. "When you learn, teach. When you get, give." -Maya Angelou.
