Hello. My name is Dr. AY Heath; you can call me Angel. I'm here to chronicle a big goal for myself. And trust me, it is a very big goal. So what is this big goal. I’m going to read and break down 150 film scripts. That does sound like a lot, but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while and, after stepping away from my corporate job, I dove into film school and have been diving deep into the process of storytelling. But I want to do more than just learn technical skills; I want to understand what works and doesn't and see where we're in this big filmmaking industry.

Read more from What A Mess (News and Opinion)Let's get one thing straight: Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. This is not up for debate.
If there was ever a way to publicly humiliate an allied leader—one who is literally fighting for his country’s survival—Trump and his administration managed to find it.
While unprecedented, the legal and diplomatic basis for this approach is intriguing. This bold move could offer Ukraine several major advantages...

Read more from Cycles of Reflection"Key-Kee!" Nadine echoed, her tiny hands gripping the floor as she crawled forward, her voice bubbling with excitement. "No, it is Kit-Ty," Harold corrected, shaking his head. "She says it wrong. She is still a baby," Elise said gently. "Meow, meow… meowww," Nadine mimicked the family cat, her tiny frame wiggling like a kitten in play. Eli dropped to his hands and knees beside her. "Meowww!" he exaggerated, scrunching his nose and wiggling his fingers like whiskers. "Ugh, this is ridiculous," Harold groaned. As Nadine moved, the soft fur of her costume brushed against her arms, keeping her warm against the cool fall air. She did not know it yet, but this was something she would carry forever. Her orange-striped costume tail flicked behind her. It was her first Halloween, the night she would start transforming into something more. Later, as shadows stretched across the walls, she whispered her first sign of something greater. "Here, Key-Kee."
"The melody of ‘Jesus Loves the Little Children’ drifted through the quiet church, each note steady beneath Yara’s fingertips. No one noticed how her back stiffened, how her breath caught just slightly before she pressed forward, playing through the sharp waves of pain. The music continued, but time itself seemed to slow. It wasn’t time. Not yet."

My story did not begin in prison, and it won't end in business. Everything has brought me to this moment, in a Federal prison in FCI Florence, Colorado, serving a sentence for drug distribution and firearm possession. This wasn't a mistake; it was a consequence of a repeated cycle of choices, doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results, with a complete disregard for others. On June 8, 2018, the day of my arrest, I had no idea that one simple choice would change my entire life. That change has brought me new opportunities, including planning and starting a business, writing a book, and replacing self-destructive behaviors with positive ones. I'm learning to turn negatives into positives. Since my change, I've come to believe that there will always be opposition in all things. I hope to help others find the same opportunities that I have.
motivation is not something someone can just give you most people get motivation from ideas that they think will be a big one day
