Marisa
Daughter, sister, Dj & animal advocate. My heart is warm and I have a place for everyone in it that deserves it. My gift is bringing out the best in people. I love to help others see what I see in them. It might sound silly but I fear I might conquer my dream & then realize I don't want it anymore. That I could lose my passion for dance music and its lifestyle, that I'm spending all this time trying to make it only to get there & realize maybe it wasn't worth it. My best day was being selected to the top 30 out of thousands who had entered a really big Dj contest in LA. A few months prior to that I was in a really dark place. I'd gone through a break-up without closure. I'd dropped out of interior design school & was working 2 jobs I didn't see a future in. I felt lost and like such a failure. I was so grateful for the call that day that I'd been selected. I felt like god & the universe gave me that opportunity so I wouldn't die during those dark days. I have definitely felt "not good enough". With social media and everything, how can you NOT at times? However, the best advice I ever got was to stop comparing. To do what you want without caring what others think. When you can finally do that well - everything will come to you. I'm finding this is true. I wish I could tell the 12 year old me who wrote in her small pink sequined diary "p.s. I still really want to be a Dj”, Girl, don't worry. You will do it! I'd also tell her to keep wearing those crazy clothes because in a few months those girls will be asking to borrow them. I wish there was more love & respect for the environment and the animals we share the planet with. I wish there was less racism, judgement & more equality. In 10 years I hope to have accomplished my Dj dreams, to have a home, a healthy family and to have jumped out of my comfort zone. I’m proud of how patient I have become with myself & others. I'm not a crazy party monster like some people may think I am. I actually enjoy being by myself and I barely drink when I go out. I'm very spiritual & have a deep intuition. I am Marisa. I am strong, determined, compassionate & creative. I love to smile & see others smile.
