It All Pays Off.

I’m the type of person that lives day by day, I’ve always have been. I feel like focusing too much on the future distracts you from your current situation you’re in now. However, just like any other human being, I do question where I will be years from now.

 Since the day I could remember I’ve always been into photography and even more in love with videography. Its something about capturing a moment so simple, yet so special that could last forever. They always say “A picture is a thousand words” so how about a ten-minute video? Would that be a million words? YouTube has always and will always be a dream of mine, and I hope one day it all pays off.

The year is 2025, I feel better than I ever have before. My bank account looks great, and the girl by my side looks even better. I’m currently focusing on opening my first ever store (a clothing store hopefully). I’m going back and forth in my head weather or not I should have a meetup for the first day. Invite my family and friends, even tell my supporters on all platforms about my accomplishment, I’m sure it’ll gain a lot of attention since I have a high number of followers. It would be dope meeting all the people who supported me over these last few years, and seeing how much we have in common.

But most importantly, my mental health is at an all time high. I feel as if I’m on top of the world, anything I put my mind to I can accomplish, I recently graduated Rowan University on top of my class. All the hard work I’ve done those four years of my life seemed to all pay off at the right time. Looking back at myself five years ago I can tell I was nervous. I haven’t picked up a pencil within the last two years of attending college, I got my mother over here telling everyone and everything she came in contact with, her son is going to school. It was a lot of pressure and weight on my shoulders, being the first “Green” to walk around with a college diploma was something I could’ve never imagined. Especially knowing the fact I slept my way through high school.

But this is my reality, blowing up on YouTube, owning my very own business, owning a house, and (hopefully) having someone I can share it all with. I didn’t just get lucky either, this is something I had to build into existence. All the time I put into school, into my craft, and most importantly into myself. It goes to show when you put your all into something, something you truly care about, and fully make it your mission to reach that goal… you will.

You have too.
