Dear Untamed Youth,
Right now I want you to ask yourself, what am I passionate about? What do I love? What are your hopes, what are your dreams? What are the things that give you the drive to work hard and to push through?
Photography and film are the things that light that fire in my heart. That passion burning deep inside of me pushes me to work hard for my dreams. Through film and photography, I can give people a voice. It connects me with people around the world, and I can share my perspective on the world and inspire others through my art.
All these things are the characteristics that make you, YOU. That fire that burns inside of you that inspires others; that makes you the best version of yourself. Your hopes, your dreams, and the things you want to accomplish in your life make up the beauty of who you are and your purpose in your life.
This may sound cheesy, but we all have a destiny. We all have a purpose and we all have dreams for a reason, to create change and to make an impact.
We are all chosen for something great and your dreams are the platform for your purpose. I believe that it is time for the youth to step up in the fullness of who they are and unleash their potential and capability. We are all capable of reaching our dream we just have to reach for it and take it. Go for it.
