Both of my parents embody the title “Jack of all trades.” One of my Dad’s side “gigs” is cinematography and movie scoring. He took a break from his multiple projects to do a mini scene for me and about me from graduation weekend. I absolutely love it.
One of my biggest things is, “You don’t know my story.” All that matters to me is that I’m making my parents (and those people in my life who truly matter) proud. I’m happy that I’ve done so thus far and am continuing to do so.
The next three weeks of my life will consist of me packing up my apartment, selling just about anything that isn’t clothes or shoes, moving out of 9C, going to Durham to watch my brother and sister graduate, having our graduation cookout, and then finally heading to NYC. I’m finally heading to the city of my dreams to begin an awesome internship and use this as my transition to permanently living there. My internship starts in exactly three weeks from today. Excited. Nervous. Anxious. And slightly emotional all at once. I’m making my way into the direction I want to go to, one step at a time. Life’s taking me on a slightly different path than what I originally planned or imagined. But all the while, I’m reminded that none of this is ever my plan anyway. It’s His. So I’m just looking forward to where life is taking me. Cheers to this new chapter of life!
In a statement released Thursday afternoon, the singer’s family said they are “at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy.” No other details have been released, and there are conflicting reports on what kind of cancer she had.
