What does it look like when your dreams finally come true?

First, I prayed for opportunities to lend my talents to great projects. I thought that meant moving to Hollywood and making sacrifices to conform to a lifestyle I didn’t want to live. Then in 2016, God gave me @officialvicmignogna. Then, I prayed that I could be part of an impactful story, and be a light for others in the entertainment industry. Then God gave me @animematsuri. When I started acting for film and television in 2012, I had a plan that was completely different, and when nothing worked out the way I had hoped, I was devastated. At the time, I couldn’t see how things could ever improve. Yet, everything in between then and now, all the hardships and disappointments, all those micro decisions and what I perceived to be “setbacks” were actually setting me up, setting all of us up, for greater things. God’s plan is always more beautiful than our desires. So when nothing seems to be going right, it’s because whatever you’re holding on to is not meant for you, and all it means is that better things are on the way. How great it is to think the best days of our life haven’t happened yet!

This is the start of something new. I have no idea what will happen next, or where it all will take me. But how exciting is that??? Thank you everyone who made this weekend a new core memory for me. Thank you to the fans for your support, to the new friends I made, and to the new family that’s taken me in. I love you all, and I’ll see you next year! #AnimeMatsuri #AnimeMatsuri2022 #InTheBooks #GodsPlanIsBetter #GiveGodTheGlory #AnyGiftsIHaveAreJustOnLoan #AMStudios #NewDubbingCompany #Anime #Genbanojo #ZipShimezo #Actress #VoiceActress #VALife #NextStopUnknown #BeyondGrateful #ItsAllABlessing
