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.

I am constantly trying to figure things out, and writing and decompressing is a way for me to analyze and try and grow and understand.

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.

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.

Believing in myself has always been hard. For a long time, I constantly compared myself to others, and it took away from the energy I could have been putting into my career.
