EnergyK, whom I revered as a god, helped me immensely in early 2010.
I miss that guy.
Then, I had a few sessions with the infamous Amanda, one-on-one, and that helped me quite a bit in terms of getting started with Cinema. However, it was short-lived, as issues in her life arose.
I don't really know where my motivation came from...originally it was getting on the team, but that died even before I was given a spot.
Lots of times we credit trying hard to dealing with the insults and flames on the grounds that we'll one day prove them wrong.
But that really only started happening once I was better, and the people making the flames were my friends (lol...).
I still don't know where my motivation comes from.
I just keep going.
Not really sure why.
