let the haters hate.

because in all reality that is exactly what they are going to do. there is nothing you can do to stop them, no matter how you try to appease them. and sincerely, even when you try to appease them- then you’re just taking energy away from the directions you should be harnessing it for.

this game is about focus, determination, making a brand of yourself you can be proud of and marketing that brand. just like any other industry or product- not everyone is going to latch onto yours and love it. it just won’t happen that way. it’s much more important that you’re a brand you can take pride in at the end of the day- and then when the haters hate, at least you can turn around and say you’re still the most authentic version of yourself, and you’re not afraid of that.

classes are going incredibly well- i love this school, it feels like home when i walk onto campus in the mornings. it really truly does. i just feel so lucky to be able to be back out here and working hard at the dreams i’m lucky enough to be chasing.

i’m the luckiest girl for those that stand in my corner, and while there are some that i wish stood there among them, i know i’m okay without them there. that the ones that matter won’t leave and are truly the irreplaceable gems in my incredibly busy life. they are the ones that understand 80% of my waking life is devoted to chasing this dream- and will be there in the tiny corners of it i can find to text, skype, call and write. in the meantime, those that are out there and living their lives without me *well, one really* who i sincerely miss and love- well… your picture is by my bed (one that Florence took), i think of you everyday, and i know someday maybe you’ll come back home, we’ll make amends and move on with our lives- i’ll never stop loving you, and hoping for you. duck.
