Decisions, Decisions

So Ive made the decision to stay in New York for a little while longer. Yes I do believe Los Angeles is where Im supposed to be but I know my mother's advice would be "Tiff'ny follow your dreams but place your education first." I can write & be just as successful in NY as LA. I want to graduate from Hunter with a Masters in English with a concentration in Creative writing. To me Hunter is a writers paradise, simply because of the curriculum they offer. I believe in myself enough to take the MFA program and do my thang. I remember reading Kimora Lee Simmons book "Fabulousity: What it it & How to get it", In It she writes, Even if you dont believe in your talents believe in what others see in you. Sometimes I dont see my potential or just dont believe Im that good. But then here comes a true friend to pick me up and make me see how talented I really am. For example, today I was a little bummed about my blog and out of the blue Ant* was like "Im such a fan of yours". It was weird as well as satisfying, like Whoa?!, I have a fan?? It was a little shocking to know that folks really come to my blog and actually read what I write. I doubt If I'll ever get used to that concept. Its kinda like opening your door to anyone & hoping they enjoy your cooking.

  1. I believe you should listen to what your mom would say and follow your dreams. You don't want to live with the woulda, coulda, shouldas for the rest of your life. If you can do something that you enjoy, makes you smile & happy everyday, then it's worth to pursue. Don't let anyone or anything defer your dream. No one can make you happy & no one can live your life for you.
