MEET RIVER

GROWING UP, I WAS A PRETTY QUIET KID. I SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN MY OWN IMAGINATION. AND LIKE ANY KID THAT AGE, I WANTED TO BE AND DO SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS. SO, I DID THEM. I STILL DO THEM.

ONCE I HAD REALISED WHAT KIND OF IMPACT I WANTED TO MAKE ON THE WORLD AND WHAT I WANTED FOR MYSELF, ALL THE CURIOSITIES I’VE INDULGED IN HAVE STARTED TO MAKE MORE SENSE. I WANT TO HELP OTHERS TO NOT FEEL ALONE AND TO INSPIRE THEM LIKE FILMS AND MUSIC HAVE DONE FOR ME. IT HELPED ME FEEL WHEN I DIDN’T KNOW HOW AND TO DREAM BIG WHEN I FELT TOO SMALL. I WANT TO HELP OTHERS FREELY EXPLORE THE THINGS THAT FUEL THEIR SOULS WITHOUT FEELING GUILTY FOR TAKING THE TIME FOR THEMSELVES OR FEELING THE WEIGHT OF SOCIETAL PRESSURES AND JUDGEMENT.

THROUGH MUSIC, FILM, AND CONTINUING TO PARTAKE IN MY LITTLE SIDEQUESTS, I’VE FOUND JOY IN MY FEARS AND KEPT MY CHILD-LIKE WONDER ALIVE, EVEN IN THE FACE OF ADULTHOODS CHALLENGES.

YOU CAN JOIN ME ON THIS JOURNEY TO AGE WITH WONDER, BREAK FREE FROM SOCIETAL PRESSURES, EXPLORE WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL ALIVE, AND EMBRACE A LIFE FULL OF CURIOSITIY, JOY AND PURPOSE.
