Becoming an Adult

Hello world, it's Kodi here, and something really interesting happened to me today. I'm not totally sure what prompted it--it could have been any number of things, but today was the day that I realized both that 1). I have become and adult and 2). I need to start acting like an adult. It is a realization that is both terrifying and exhilarating.

Earlier today I was off to sign the lease for the first ever apartment that I would live in and as these things tend to go, it didn't all go exactly as I had hoped and some new information was brought to light that messed up some of my plans for the summer. All I really wanted in that moment was for an adult to swoop in, save the day, and make everything better. Which was when I realized that no knight in shining armor was coming to pull me up onto their horse. Almost immediately after that I realized I am an adult, I'm the one who has to figure this out. But the upside to that is, I have the ability to sort it out. If I stop acting like the pseudo-adult that I thought I was, and begin taking charge of my life, the limits of what I can do are absolutely endless, which is really an amazing thought.

And now looking back on today from my bed with a cup of tea, it's truly incredible how much you can acheive if you set your mind to it. But, nothing would have been dealt with if I had not consciously made the decision to pull myself together, be an adult and put the focus and energy needed into the problem. 

I apologize for the short length, rambliness and repetitiveness of this post, but I felt that today really needed to be documented somehow. I feel like today is the day that I have decided to become an adult and completely take charge of every single element of my life. I am no longer waiting for a parent's approval or not saying something that I think because I am worried someone won't agree with me. It's about time that I took full and complete control of my life and I am so grateful to the universe for sending me the problems that it did today otherwise I never would have had such a long hard think about adulthood and life.

Also I feel like the officialness of my adulthood happened the instant I bought some flowers for myself to put in my room. It felt like a very adult thing to do.

Hello world--it's Kodi here, yet again. Continually documenting this decade-I still believe that it is the biggest decade in anyone's life. There is so much growth, change, and so many realizations. It's insane for me reading back through old posts and seeing how different I was just three years ago. It makes me excited to see how many new adventures the coming years will bring. I've recently decided to invest in my career and buy myself a badass camera. Nowadays more often than not auditions come in through the form of self-taping. Having a high quality camera will not only allow me to up my self tape game but also give me the freedom to film short scenes for showreels and short films. Which is super cool and I'm beyond excited to start doing some acting with it. So, I now have this camera--whom I have named Lucy--and I am beginning to get to know the ins and outs of making something look great. Over the past week I have just felt this little burst of joy every...

Tea Drops Review

Hello Humans! It's Kodi here and I recently came across a company called Tea Drops, and I think it is my new favorite thing. I came across the company while watching an episode of Tea & Sprinklers with Sierra Boggess and Mary Setrakian and immediately got very excited. I have always been a huge tea lover and was very excited to give Tea Drops a try. After finding their website, my excitement only grew after learning a bit more about the company and what they stand for. As you know my most recent goal that I have been working on is becoming a happy, healthy, and balanced human being and their tea has become a new staple in my daily routine. I feel 100% okay when it comes to the environment because all of the packaging is completely Eco-friendly. I have also been researching natural healing options more and more and found that Tea Drops has a couple of their own! I have yet to try them but am sure they will be just as delicious as the others. As of right now my current favori...

New Beginnings

Hello World! It's Kodi here and if you've been following me on Twitter or Instagram then you will know that I have been out of the country for a week to learn about all of the exciting new changes coming in the next few years of my life. For those of you that are not as social media inclined, this is the update on the exciting and wonderful things happening at this moment in my life. If you have read my Where I'm At post then you will know that I have spent this year applying to and auditioning for drama schools in the U.K. And a few weeks ago I was in New York with my dad on my way to do my last few first round auditions in London and something very unexpected happened. I had been emailing with a woman in the admissions department of a school that I had auditioned for in January. Originally we were told that we would know the outcome of our audition within two weeks of the audition. At this point it had been about two months and I had heard nothing. So ...
