Ever thought of the saying "The great perhaps" and what that means for all of us. No? me either. Life is such a whirlwind of a ride sometimes you don't have time to think about anything, sometimes even breathing takes up too much time. But overall, life is a fun-filled, amazing adventure that we all get to seek out and explore.

I live in a city full of celebrities. I know it's crazy. When I tell people the story they think I'm just some rich kid. But if I'm being honest I am the total opposite. My mother didn't have all that much money and my father wasn't around but I wouldn't call us broke I would call us uncomfortable, comfortable people.

Uncomfortable, comfortable people = Not completely broke people that wish they were rich.

Sound like you? That was me a few years ago.

When I was around 17 I was bullied badly in high school as most girls were, unfortunately. I dropped out of school at the end of year 10. I couldn't bear being around girls with their Instagrams and trying to look at perfect worlds. I needed to start my path, my journey in my own home, away from petty teenagers. I know, I know I am a petty teenager too but listen, I grew up with having an older brother and when I say older I mean he is 40 years old and that's why I hate being around characters of my age. They are too naive.


When I dropped out of high school I wanted to make more of my life rather than sitting at home and writing. I was a writer. I wrote on this website where you could publish your stories for free. I know you didn't get paid or anything but I always had this feeling my story would go further than girls at home reading it at 2 am. I had a feeling someone much bigger would read my story and I would go farther in life.

As I wrote my third story, it was about a young girl ... doesn't matter because what stopped me from writing about this girl was so more marvellous. My story had been read by a publisher in New York and they want to make my writing into a movie...

As i kept reading the email it got even more amazing. They wanted to fly me out to New York all expenses paid to come to a meeting for the movie. 

A movie... i thought to myself.

Two years later I am an official writer for movies. Sometimes being in your room with a small dream can be pivotal. The saying "the great perhaps" really got me far. Having a tiny dream such as mine can transform your life. But remember you have to put in the effort, time and belief for it all to happen. If I hadn't spent the hours in my room writing my story I might not have been where I am today.
