It is so interesting how much inspiration and being surrounded by creative minds impacts your own creativity and end product. Choosing your company, your friends, your environment, your persona, is choosing ultimately who you are and what you say to the world.

I recently reconnected with two friends who have reminded me how much I want for myself, to not shy away from putting in consistent effort, to always push myself. They reignited the drive and passion in me, helping me take this jump to vitalize my writing career and to make my dreams happen instead of writing them off as unattainable.

Fortune cookie of the day: Be friends with the people you would trade lives with, only take advice from people you want to be like.
