Writers UN block

"Every pro was once an amateur." Or at least that's what my teacher used to tell me ; but Im grateful. She knew how hard it was for one to have faith where all one can see standing in front is despair. However one thing is for certain .. FAITH CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS. It was her faith, along with the faith of others that has helped me believe, that i can achieve all i wish to achieve. As the great leader Ghandi once said : " A man is but the product of his thoughts, what he thinks he becomes." People can inspire you and make you see that you are worthy of your dreams but the truth is one must feel it from within.  You have the power to make your dreams come true and you have the right to live life according to these set dreams. Aside from all else, it is important to power through. It is easy to set your dreams, another is to follow when we dont always see what lies ahead; or have current struggles with the day to day life but the honest truth is noone is perfect.  So be kind, for we all facing different battles; and stay optimistic no matter what your passion is believe in it and believe that you are responsible for finishing your life's story. Choose the fairy tale ending.


As a young, NYC based Makeup Artist starting out can be hard the competition can be crucial but quite literally its all about foundation. Having a good solid base to work with. After all Rome wasn't built in a day. Makeup (along with this blog) is about expression. One needs to believe in their artistry just as much as all other great Makeup Artists did ; if not more. That's how the greats did it. I end this on a positive note by being as cliche as possible and simply saying believe in yourself even if no one else will :)
