The rules: Do not smile for one week unless you are genuinely happy.
Here are three fun things I’ve learned over the past year. I’m very happy I asked for help 12 months ago. Depression sucks, but the rest doesn’t have to.
I have some news. MFA here I come, yasss.
For those curious, I’ll be studying at USC. Specifically I’ll be getting an MFA in Writing for Screen and Television (also known as the screenwriting degree).
You ready for some feels? You should probably get ready for some feels.
A.K.A. perfectionism sucks.
So I’m back. I’ve been gone for a while… cough six weeks. Though I’ve also moved apartments, attempted to learn a little something about interior design, and also got a new camera (as you can see) in that time! So all of that takes time for me to adjust. But sadly I also used it as an excuse to let my fear/perfectionism/procrastination get the best of me, and I don’t want to do that anymore. So here’s to diving back in! #KeepOnKeepinOn
Cheers,
LB
It’s been a year, you guys. I can’t even believe it. But I set out to do 52 videos so there are 22 more videos still coming, but enjoy this one for now:
Cheers,

Doing something new and scary is… SCARY, but thankfully this world of video creators is absolutely amazing and I just love these ppl so much. Some of the nicest most welcoming people you could hope to meet.
Want to meet some of my friends?!
