Little Lion Man

Recently I've been working on updating some media and experimenting with different social networking sites. Here at the links to those:

My elevator speech? It starts out going something like, "My mom is in the media industry and that's how I became interested in it. I'm a theatrical, empathetic and dependable person who is interested in getting her hands wet in many different fields of media. I particularly love television and social media. I always thought I wanted to be a producer but when I evaluated my strengths, I'm a people person; that's when I decided that casting might be more up my alley. I want to travel and see the world and meet all different types of people. My dream career would be to work for a company that challenges me every day and where no day is the same. Learning one thing new every day is important to me and I want a career that caters to that."

I guess that's kind of long. If I were to shorten it, it would go something like this, "I love television, social media, and traveling. I want to go into casting or something along those lines that has to do with working with people. I'm always willing to try something new and I'm eager to learn."

But when it comes down to it, one sentence to describe me would be, "I'm a people person who loves to be challenged with new things every day."

Music has always been a big part of my life. I have sang for as long as I can remember. My dad was in a band - sadly, I didn't gain much of his musical talent besides being able to read music and sing - while my mom worked in a recording studio for 20 years. One of my favorite bands of all time is Mumford and Sons. I could listen to their first CD on repeat 24/7 which is why I used one of their favorite songs as my blog post title. "Bold" or maybe a "loaded" title but fitting for an empty blog and a fresh start around the corner (graduation).

I was born in Kentucky and consider myself a southern girl at heart but I'm ready to move to a big city. I'm very outgoing but an introvert at heart. My dream is to travel the world but for now I settle with reading stories of people who have, fictional or nonfictional. That's also one of the same reasons I went into media - television specifically - because I love watching a story develop in a place I've never known or situations that can seem so real even though there is a screen and time between myself and the characters. It reminds me that there is life outside of my small world that I've only ever known and that there is so much to explore in this world.

I have learned over the past few years about letting go of control and going with the flow. I've learned how to protect myself and even though I still have "silly" daydreams, I know who to share them with based on who will actually care and listen. I'm more honest then I've ever been before but I haven't met anyone who thinks I'm insincere or nasty about it. When it comes down to it, I would do anything for the people in my life but only because I have learned how to make myself happy. I've learned my strengths and my weaknesses.

With graduation 3 months away, this seems like as good of a time as any to start writing down my life, remembering who I am now and reminding myself who I want to be.
