Light at the end of the tunnel...

To start off, I hope you guys had a fantastic fourth of july! I know mine was incredible. I know this is completely cheezy but those fireworks symbolized a lot for me. I've been through a lot of stuff these last couple years and just as it would settle down something would hit even harder. I lost and was rejected by very close people and the 'normal life of Kodi Mattox' was redefined. The fireworks signified that light that I have been waiting for at the end of the tunnel. Things aren't perfect but boy are they a heck of a lot better than where I have been. I am starting a new school, which I am extremely excited about! I've made some new friendships that will last a lifetime! I also am in the middle of YES company. This cast and this company... It is just spectacular! This experience is just the dessert after a long nasty entree. These past couple of years I walked through the halls of school and there was very few days where I was not called horrible names and judged and rejected. I am not saying all this to bash on a school because that's not right, our mouths are on us to say uplifting things. I am saying this because it is just astonishing and surreal to go to a place everyday where we all share a common energy, love. There is no judgement and no ridicule. There is no rejection or tearing down. We all just love each other and have so much unity regardless of what our beliefs, decisions, or views are. I personally think that is the underlying fact that makes YES company so amazing. Not the money, costumes, gallo, etc... just the experience of being there with these people and growing together into amazing beings. For once I can let my guard down 100% and just be... me. It's actually quite strange because every day I would put a wall up to protect myself from getting hurt. I've tried my best to put it into words but it really just does not do this feeling I have inside justice. So fellow cast members reading this... Once again... I LOVE YOU!!!!
