One of my most endearing interns from back in the day is Andrew aka Lloyd, that I met back in 2010 while at my old studio in downtown Pomona. Early on I knew that we had much more in common since we had very similar upbringings. Children of immigrant parents taken on much more responsibility in general than children of 2nd generations and beyond. When I first met Lloyd, he had so much turmoil going on in his life and at the time of recording this episode, you can tell that he is still affected by that experience from over 8 years ago.
In those moments of circumstance, we learn so much about ourselves and really develop our character from all of the hardships we have been through. Life is hard as fuck and only gets harder with each passing year. Life is savage AF as it gives no fucks about you or your situation. Add Father Time into the mix and your entire 20's is a complete fuckery for the most part.
Being 2.5 years away from being 30 years old, hear how Lloyd has been trying to cleanse himself of desires and figure out how to make his parents proud of him while still trying to find himself in the process. Life is a constant battle to stay focused and relevant. Don't ever let off on the gas but at the same time, take in as much as you can by slowing it down. Life is always a double edged sword. No matter the obstacles, get out there and do great things.
