Building memories, brick by brick 🧱🥹
My social media journey started back in middle school making LEGO stop-motion videos, so getting invited to preview this brand new park felt like a full-circle moment.

Chapter 30: Gratitude 🎂🥹
What an amazing decade of life the 20s was.
When I first entered it, I was in the middle of college running around the new and unfamiliar city of Los Angeles, trying to find my own voice. Most days, if I wasn’t working on homework or a film project, I was out filming a Vine. Making genuine connections was tough during this time because I didn’t know who I was yet.
During my mid 20s, I took a step a back for the first time since starting this entire journey. I had pushed off the idea of taking a break for years but no matter how hard I pushed, I could not avoid the reality. In my mind it was only going to be a small break… you know, probably a couple weeks to a month… it ended up being several years.
Now rounding up this final year of my 20s, it makes sense.
My true wins in life come from the people I love and the experiences we share. I put so much pressure on myself in my early 20s. I believed success was defined by a career. The voice I had been searching to find at 20 is connected to my family, my friends, all of you that have supported me on this journey and my amazing partner and best friend Audrey.
As I enter 30, all I feel is gratitude.
Gratitude for life.
Gratitude for being able to tell my younger self “we did it.”
Gratitude for the good days.
Gratitude for the bad days.
Gratitude for another year.
