Waiting and dreaming
It’s so important to BE ORIGINAL. There is only one you, you don’t need to pretend to be anyone else. Create your own work, create your own ideas.
If you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it’ll spread over into the rest of your life. It’ll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.
– Bruce Lee
Poem: A Voice in the Crowd
This is why I respect Curt so much. People often ask me why he’s my mentor, or why I look up to him so much when he’s actually younger than me, but here’s the thing. Everything he writes, is exactly how I feel. I’m sure most actors feel the same but he has a way of just perfectly describing the struggle of an actor. Knowing he feels the same way as me fills me with hope and determination. He never discourages people, never makes me feel like I should find a new dream. He’s positive and determined and damn hard working. He takes time to share his thoughts and his journey with his fans and friends and honestly I can’t think of a better person to look up to. An incredible young man whom I’m proud to call a friend.by Curt Mega

Fame is not my passion
Celebrity is not my sight
The work is the thing that I long
To do and what drives me to fight
For relevance in this sea of dreamers
To not be completely drowned out
To make a sound that can be heard
To raise my voice above the crowd
Tomorrow brings the struggle
As it does every single day
To not become wholly obsolete
And to not just silently fade away
So put my hands to work
For I have a voice to speak
And I have a mind to do
Whatever you ask of me
All I ask is that you ask
Irrelevance is my greatest fear
Because I can do more than you know
If you’d only notice that I’m here

Often times I meet people who challenge me, “You have no idea what you’ve done for me.” Well the truth is, it’s the other way around. I do have an idea, and a pretty good one at that. Because for whatever you may think I may be giving you, you are actually giving back to me, tenfold (…) as time goes on, you all have never ceased to amaze me with your enthusiasm, creativity, and seemingly endless joy that continues to inspire and encourage me.

”What” and “If” are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life….
