So there wasn't this guiding light of like, I'm going to do this.

I was doing YouTube videos and I wasn't getting paid any money to do them.

But I did feel like maybe if I grew this to a certain point, I could leverage the audience into an audition for something.

I don't know.

I wasn't really thinking, but I didn't necessarily want to be an actor.

I just liked doing that stuff.

But something was pushing me away.

And I literally would drive to the school and sit in the car.

Very dramatic.

And I would just stare at the school and I'm like, I literally just can't get myself to go.

And going back to why I'm an insane person, there was one time where I literally had like a notebook and I just wrote out like an interview that like Barbara Walters was doing with me where she was like walking me around.

She's like, so this is your college.

And I was like thinking like that, like I just want something so bad.

I know I can't get it in there.

Zero.

I had a lot of passion and ambition and it was like putting it in a box.

I think that there are people that probably have more passion than others because I do think there are people that are perfectly content with going to college, getting a job, and that's their life.

And I think that's amazing.

I think that as long as you feel fulfilled, you should do that.

A part of me was afraid because I did have all that passion and I didn't know where to put it.
