I took jobs that I knew I shouldn’t have and am just grateful that I got out safely.

I got lucky and found a mentor who helped me.

Someone who looked out for me, guided me through the confusion and the uncertainty.

And because of that, I’m here today, doing what I love. I want to be that person for others.”

“That’s why people love you. You see something in others, something they don’t see in themselves. You help them find it. That’s one of the many reasons that I love you, anyway.”

It’s nice to say something and not worry about how it’ll be received. Theo has always listened and given great feedback.

It’s a nice change.

“I don’t even know where to start,” I admit, leaning back in my chair and looking out the window.

“I mean, I have ideas, but there’s so much to think about. The logistics, the funding, the partnerships.”

“We’ll figure it out.

I can help, and I know a few others who would love to chip in too.

We can start small and build it up.

If anyone can make this happen, it’s you.”

Maybe it’s the confidence I see in him, or perhaps it’s just the way he’s always been there for me—no matter what.

I can’t help but feel like this idea is more than just a dream. It’s something that can happen.

“We could partner with local businesses,” I suggest, the wheels in my mind starting to turn.

“Maybe get some companies on board who would be willing to donate products or offer services in exchange for visibility.

And we could reach out to agencies and other creative groups to see if they’d be willing to provide free mentorship or training.”

“And we could create a fundraising campaign.

Get some high-profile people to back it, raise awareness.

A lot of artists come to LA with nothing, so they might be more willing to help out, knowing they’re supporting others who are in the same situation.”

“Exactly.

And we could have workshops, networking events, maybe even a website where people could sign up to get connected.

Make sure they know they don’t have to do it alone. That they have a community to lean on.”

He leans back in his chair, crossing his arms, his eyes thoughtful. “I’m in. Whatever you need. I’ll help however I can.”

I smile at him, feeling this deep sense of connection and gratitude. “I couldn’t do this without you, Theo. You’re always there when I need you, no questions asked.”

“Of course.”

I know this is a big step. I know that starting something like this isn’t going to be easy, but I also know that it’s exactly what I need to do.

It’s the next step, not just for me, but for so many others who need a chance, who need a way out.

I take a deep breath, looking into his eyes. “I’m going to do it. I’m going to make this happen.”
