A lot of my friends are musicians or artists, and their talent always pushes me to think creatively.

I live in Brooklyn, New York. It is a melting pot of cultures and people. I walk down the street, and there is art on the buildings and people congregating who have been neighbors for years and events and music and freedom.

If we can just try every day to be the best versions of ourselves, we are offering to the world the best addition to society.

Making excuses and not trying because I was scared were my go-to reactions. Nothing was going to change in my life unless I did something about it.

I started to realize that everyone goes through those doubts, and I need to try and be the best version of me I can - not only for myself but everyone around me.

A lot of my friends are musicians or artists, and their talent always pushes me to think creatively.

I can be capable of anything if I allow myself to be. I really realized what an obstacle I was being in my own life.
