Thoughts

It has been almost a year…

Yesterday was a really poignant day for me. It marked one of the final interviews I will do for Failure Club on my entire journey to penning a world famous Christmas song. 

My producer and DP chose the same seat/position in my apartment that we started in almost a year ago. We discussed what my life was like before Failure Club and what my life was after it. 

The truth is, my life is a complete 180 than what it used to be. It is almost unrecognizable to be honest.

I used to live a life that was pretty music-less. Despite how much music I had inside me. I could listen to music for hours upon hours at a time, now I create music upon hours and hours at a time.

I’m the best version of Elizabeth that I’ve ever been in my life. I’ve gone through a lot to get to where I am today. I fought hard. I fought so hard to give myself and those around me the opportunities to not only see through my dream – but in the process realized that the beauty is in enabling other people’s dreams also.

So as I’m sitting in front of my producer and DP – I lost it, like I did a year ago. Except in a different way. When I started Failure Club, I cried because I felt lost and hopeless towards achieving my dream to pen a famous Christmas song. Yesterday I cried, because I was happy, humbled and astounded by the magic of life. How if you put into your life and treat others dreams with the same vigor as you treat your own – your life will surprise you. 

I’m nowhere near accomplishing having a hit Christmas record – but I have created a hit Elizabeth. I guess in life, you can only be who you are and hope people join you. 

Unknowingly, my friend Margarita Corporan – who is an amazing photographer, joined me on this day and captured the spirit of my Christmas world. This is one of my favorites from yesterday. There is so much talent around me. I so want to give everyone a chance, while I have this platform – while I have my own dream, to help their dream. Thank you so much to Margarita and for everyone who has dreamed with me. We are almost there guys! 🙂
