Hi everyone!
Just checking in for the first time and wanting to introduce myself to the community!
My name is Houtan and I am 23 years old living in Canada. I'm an aspiring hip hop music producer and content creator! I've started making music about a month ago and will begin to produce video content in the near future once I have my plans set; I'm still unclear on where to steer my videos, possibly podcasts with some of my friends?
Up until this point in time I've been pretty afraid to take a chance in life and I've always been sticking to the old fashion ways solely based on advice passed down to me from my parents. I'm currently in pharmacy school (Year 1) and I've been grinding through that since September, but to be honest I do not like it much. I only made this decision in because I wanted to be safe and make my parents proud as they've been pushing me towards a career in health care. After taking lots of time thinking about where I want to be in life I've convinced myself to take a leap of faith and restart my creative outlooks!
Restart? Yup, I tried once earlier in the Summer of 2017 but was demoralized by the lack of results after pursuing for a short period of time. I've now realized that I need to put my life towards something like this to become successful, like anything else in life; first step comes thorough planning and then meticulous execution must follow.
Enough about my aspirations in life, let me give you a little more background on who I am! Prior to starting pharmacy I was in Kinesiology because I love exercise, basketball more specifically. I know some people will hate me for this, but I do not have a favorite team, only a favorite player. Kyrie Irving. I've played basketball ever since elementary school and throughout grade school, participating in my school team and recreational leagues. Basketball isn't the only sport I enjoy, I also enjoy soccer, but due to time constrains I resort to watching big games (which I haven't been able to do since September) and the upcoming World Cup!
Life was not all sports and games for me... well actually it was a lot of games. I grew up essentially being addicted, not clinically diagnosed, to video games. I played numerous games over my adolescence ranging from MMORPGs (WoW) to first person shooters (Call of Duty) and of course sports games (2K, Fifa). I never achieved a professional level status in any of the games so I've mainly been a recreational gamer, but I definitely felt like I was the best, until someone beat me and I rage quit.
I guess that's all from me and just a beginning of whats to come. Here's to a new start on this platform and a fresh take on what I want to do in life!

All the best,
Houtan
