Ever since I discovered #acting , I& #39;ve had an affinity to work with others in a creative space.

Yet, I also love coding https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß">

A few things I learned during the #100DaysOfCode challenge, is dedication. Community. Having heart, and following through.

Also,

Being kind to yourself.
It& #39;s tough. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😖" title="Verblüfftes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Verblüfftes Gesicht">

Having a 9-5 job that sucks your soul.
Being full-time in school.
In debt, without a safety net.

I& #39;m sure most of y& #39;all are right there with me.

Everyone has their own journey.
I would LOVE to quit my job and quit school (again).

That would free up so much time, right?

Is that what I should do? Is that the equivalence of taking "risks"?

Am I "playing it safe"?

I ask myself this a lot.
I flick my thumb upwards, while scanning a seemingly endless blue ocean of text- sometimes gaining inspiration, other times growing a toxic mindset.

"Why aren& #39;t you that good yet?"

Comparision is the death of joy.
We hear all the time, to share your knowledge, and don& #39;t be afraid to fail!

That stuff is hella good advice.

I failed a lot in my life. So much to the point to where, the risk seems scary.

I& #39;m no stranger to failure. No enemy to change. No adversary towards love or learning.
Yet making any new gamble paralyzes me.

Even this thread, it& #39;s a gamble.

Is this oversharing? Will someone relate to it? Is this a waste of time?
There& #39;s risk.

Then there& #39;s taking a chance.

Seizing your moment. When your life seems to form forks in the road. Which direction shall you take?

I don& #39;t think risk is quitting everything to chase one passion.

That& #39;s easy.
The "risk", is the process to get there.

It& #39;s the bills you may rack. The debt that piles up. The friendships, relationships, your own mental health, time, all of that- you risk.

Then, after when it& #39;s done...

You still fail.
Maybe that& #39;s why we do it anyway. To taste that brief chance of fulfillment. We all measure success in our own manner.

I believe, social media has played a part in defining what an acceptable level of success should be.

Hate to admit it, I got trapped in that too.
I also believe we can build a world where everyone can become fulfilled.

Success isn& #39;t determined by money or fame- it& #39;s the meter of your fulfillment.

What trees you won& #39;t sit under.

If money and fame are your success, that& #39;s awesome too! As long as you are fulfilled. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👏🏿" title="Applaus-Zeichen (dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Applaus-Zeichen (dunkler Hautton)">
I have a feeling. We& #39;re reaching a point in our humanity.

We can begin to strive to where "risk" isn& #39;t necessary for one& #39;s fulfillment to just SURVIVE.

Where openness thrives and we teach each other through our mistakes.

Risk is inspiration for growth.
Call it foolish, hopeful, or silly.

If you disagree, that& #39;s okay!

If I& #39;m wrong, I understand!

Through this chance, I& #39;ll risk brief uncertainty. I hope, that through this, you somehow find your moment and chance risk as well.

No matter how big or small the chance https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏🏿" title="Folded hands (dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Folded hands (dunkler Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">
