It’s what I use to tell myself when I made the decision to leave the sweet nest in LA I called home.

I bought that one way ticket to NYC and it might have been one of the best, scariest decisions I ever made.
Yes, I could have made my career in LA as well but I wanted to be around the bosses, the CEOs, and the decision makers because that is how I envisioned the future me. I decided to be in NYC where the headquarters are and to talk with the people in charge.

I was living a lifestyle that wasn’t leading me towards my goals. My friends were wrong for me and my surroundings weren’t encouraging me to follow my dreams.

So to the ones that believed in me when I didn’t — I am forever grateful.
