I love, love, love Sleeping at Last. Needless to say by his name, he has very relaxing music. I found him right at the perfect time. I was trying to replace my music with more positive things, and low and behold, Ryan O’Neal, (the man behind Sleeping at Last) came into the picture! For me, his music allows me to feel my emotions and sadness, but also have hope for the future. Not to mention, he got me into astronomy, psychology, personal healing, spirituality, and enneagrams. He is such a gentle and loving man and I strive to be like him.

To answer your question, no, it’s not as glittery as you think it is 😂 I actually lived in Henderson, which is right next to Las Vegas, for 10 and a half years of my life. I only moved to Arizona on January, 2019. It was extremely sad to move here after so many years! And I think about my old friends alllllll the time. However, it’s only just starting to get better. I still grieve the people and experiences I’ve lost after the move, though,

My mom and I used to watch traditionally animated Disney movies almost every night! My personal favorites are The Princess Frog, Hercules, Winnie the Pooh (specifically Piglet’s Movie), Brave, and 101 Dalmatians. I absolutely adore the music and art styles that Disney uses. They make me feel happy, and you best believe I’d be chugging ice cream while watching a Disney movie with my mommy after a tough day

In eighth grade, I became president of Pride Club at my middle school. Usually, Pride Clubs/Pride Alliances/GSA’s are a safe place for people in the LGBT community. When I was president, I not only made it a safe place for LGBT youth, I made it a safe place for everybody. I also made it educational. I taught lessons on LGBT history, news, and informed students on how to have healthy relationships with themselves and others. It was very important to me and I made friends with a lot of people with that club—even with people who I thought I’d never be friends with.

My parents are musicians, so ever since I was little I’ve been heavily surrounded and encouraged by music. My dad would play the guitar while I jumped on the bed and danced around. When I was eight, my parents got our first piano; my cousin and aunt taught me some things that were very useful. When I was ten, I wrote my first song. When I was eleven, I was encouraged by my dad to pick up drumsticks and learn how to drum to him playing guitar, and when I was twelve, I learned my very first song on the guitar. I’m SIXTEEN now and have learned so much. I took band in eighth grade and learned how to read a little music, as well as joined jazz band for the second semester.

In sixth grade, I started drawing comics and stories rooted from the book series, Warriors. From comics, began storytelling; from storytelling, began storyboarding; from storyboarding, began animating. At first, I thought I could make a career out of it, but I realized how stressful and difficult it can be, so it will always remain a hobby for me, unless I get lucky and gather attention. I’ve always done digital animation and I’ve definitely explored other things such as flipnote animation and such.

One of my favorite things to do since I was a kid was write and play music. I would sing all the time since I was four, I wrote my first song and forced the courage to perform it at family reunion when I was 10, I made my first album when I was 14, and I finally have my music on platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music. I’m hoping this summer to build my platform on social media, but I obviously have to focus on my priorities beforehand. I’d like to reach out to people in that sense, because with my music, I talk about experiences of heartbreak, learning,  betrayal, development, and being shut off by others and yourself! I’m learning new things about my writing and the way I play music every day. It’s one of the most relieving and just healing things to me after having a rough day or a confusing time in my life.

After I graduate from high school, I’ll be spending possibly 1-4 years as a monk. I’ll be dedicating my time to the community as well to myself before studying psychology, childhood development, and different forms of therapy. I want to make sure that I am sure about my decisions about adulthood as well as spend time to really discover myself in the process.

I hope to reach out to people. Whether it be emotionally, spiritually, socially, etc. It could be something as little as giving some perspective or as major as influencing the way that they could go about things in their relationships or daily living. That really means a lot to me and I hope to be a change.

I am very dedicated to learning about our society and how we work as human beings. I’d be honored to work with people as a therapist in order to help in that sort of, mental, way.
