In a world increasingly dominated by AI, human creativity and empathy will become a competitive advantage.

Follow me as I figure out what it means to live on my own terms, no checklist attached. 🌏

4/ If You’re Tired of the Checklist If you’re staring down expectations that don’t fit, know this: those boxes don’t mean anything if they’re not your boxes... It’s okay to tear up the list and start fresh.

2/ The Crash After the High But instead of feeling like I’d made it, I felt empty.... The high faded fast, and I was already stressing about what came next—a bigger budget, a better cast, another break... It was a treadmill I couldn’t get off.

1/ The Hollywood Dream I spent years grinding, thinking that if I could just get my name out there, it would solve all my problems... Then, my first film hit Amazon Prime, won some awards, got 300K views... I thought, “This is it.”

I thought making it in Hollywood would fix everything. It didn’t. Here’s why chasing recognition left me feeling emptier than ever: 🧵
