Depression and anxiety considered for me one of the worst emotions that a human can feel, I remember June 2018 was my first experience with depression, I had just arrived from a trip to the Dominican Republic, and I remember that I was making a video clip, it gave me a strong headache in the back of my head, so bad that I resort to going to the emergency room. when I got to the hospital was taken into an area where I hear people yelling "I want to kill myself" "get me out of here" and many more phrases from a person who from a distance realized that they are not having a good time. In 2019 my fiancée and I lost a baby, for the first time I felt like I started living in a dark world, I didn't want to work, and my artistic career didn't matter to me, five months later my fiancée and I, we had another loss of another baby, in a period of ten months, we lost two babies. As a result, the normal thing, we both entered a depression, we lost our truck, our house, everything. we went to live in a hotel for five months, those days that I would never want to be repeated in my life. we spend five months living as if the world did not matter to us, when we went to seek consolation where our relatives did not understand the pain that we felt at that moment, being a faithful believer I remember kneeling before God in drastic conditions and asking him to enlighten the world. That's how it was thanks to the tax rebates, we managed to find an apartment and we moved, I felt that everything was coming back to life but things were changing, I decided to focus more on my career and in August 2021 I decided to apply for Los Angeles Film School, “The best decision of my life, “and I was approved in a matter of days, I am in sophomore year with a 4 GPA. my career path is audio engineer, I chose this career because I had a love for music since I was a kid, and being an artist has always been my main dream, I plan to keep myself focused on studying, even the situation is very tuff right now, being unemployed and keep the focus on the college sometimes is hard and can of stressful but I pray everything will get better. always trying to get my life in place.
