My Second Wind

Yesterday, I met with an actress for two hours in an In-n-Out. We talked about life and how to make our dreams come to life. We talked about material she was given to rehearse and how the great characters transcended their environment because of their strong convictions about the situation they found themselves in. In hindsight, my meeting with this young lady was the beginning of that feeling. We sat in In-n-Out for two hours and didn't buy a think, we ignored the looks people gave us because they had burgers that needed to be consumed, and we risked getting our cars towed as we stayed there 90 minutes longer than we were allowed.

As I spoke with this young woman, impossibilities never came up in our conversation. However, I did notice it was impossible for this young woman to hide her smile while she was talking about acting. It was impossible for this young woman to not lean forward while she explained her passion.

If she was a runner, she would dive across the finish line to win the race.

I have a lot of people in my life pushing to make their dreams happen and they inspire me. They know who they are.

I'm not talking in circles about my dreams, I'm just pushing to stay positive.

My grandfather, my mother, my sister and brother, and my aunts never ask me how I'm going to make it. My family simply asks me when it will happen and how they can help. There is nothing more I could ask for.
