Got this message from my ad

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to make an impact with words, paintbrushes and emotions but I've always kept myself busy with something because I couldn't face my fear of never being able to create something visually until you took me on board without having a look at my carefully articulated resumé. The last three months have been a whirlwind and without a doubt, the greatest learning experience of my life. When I look back, I realize I could have done things a lot better and faster if I just did them by myself without relying on someone else or trying to follow someone else's path instead of creating my own and that has been one of the harsh truths you've unknowingly passed on to me in this wildly unexpected journey. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a small part of this humongously magical piece that you've created against all odds, you're an insanely fiery force of nature that I've been so fortunate to witness! One would say movie but I'm sure you're going to make many many more thought and emotionally provoking works of art and I hope you get all the praise and love in the world for it. You're my inspiration muse and guru. Thank you for believing in me or even allowing me to believe that you do because sometimes even years of watching and obssessing over movies and passion is not enough. Love you!!
