Bridgette Wright – Independent Film Producer
From Bridgette’s pen…
“If you live your whole life being a victim of circumstances that were beyond your control, you won’t have much of a life. You’ll spend it in a mode of constant suffering. You’ll never be satisfied or truly happy, and you’ll always be waiting for the ball to drop. Forgive the people that hurt you, and have enough faith in yourself to go after your dreams sooner than later. Your spiritual foundation will be your compass so stay the course. Prayer is your best friend and will give you comfort when nothing else will. Know your worth, and stop selling yourself short every time a guy looks as if he loves you. You’re so much better than that, and most of them are not good enough anyway. Don’t fear the unknown. Embrace it. Life is a journey, and if you knew what was around every corner, there would be no point in even living it. You are a very talented person with a smile that can light up a room. You have the whole world waiting for you to display those talents so fear is not an option. Strive to be successful, but don’t lose yourself in it. Success can be tricky, and you can’t live off of it alone so stay grounded. I want you to know that love can be a vulgar four letter word if given prematurely so love yourself first before you love a man. Be honest about what you want and what you need and what you can give. Try not to live your life by the clock of society; that’s a sure way to be unhappy so take your time and do what works for you..”
