Less perfection, more simplicity.

In this interview, I want to share my thoughts and appreciation for the Made Icon. I can't be so grateful enough. I typically find myself in the space of being so graceful for being there and having the opportunity to talk about my new book, Sound of Pain.

My job is to bring my whole artistic self to the incredibly important process of crafting a performance and building a character, a life. I don't know, but suddenly, life isn't as interesting as it used to be or wants it always to be. It was going so fast, I couldn't even have told.

I'm at a certain age now. There are family issues and stuff. I had to look at the whole film to check, which would be a long time. How am I going to do it? How am I going to concentrate? I have to find out who I am. In the back of my head, that is the question. Where did I go wrong?

If you still need to pre-order your book, please do so. www.stevenonoja.shop

Stay tuned for the warm-hearted conversation that goes beyond.

Time to enjoy the weather, A good way to spend the evening light in Brooklyn now is so magical. It's been magical. Time to put my skills to work. Plan my next move and make every day a success.

[ 07142022 ] • Defining Time. 

To say I’m obsessed with Time. That isn’t right. In love

Notwithstanding, I have laughed and shared the joy of friendships and communities who held me by my hand. The gap between where we are and where we want to be. I remember feeling like I was born at the wrong place at the wrong time, always daydreaming of far away places, visions, and experiences, and while I think that is what showed me where I wanted to be, it is only the work that has brought me where I am today. Keep going because it gets better? Waiting for life to suddenly get better when you move to a particular place, find the dream job, or see someone to love isn’t going to help. We always need to be building the present; becoming the bridge that connects where we are and where we want to be, instead of being perpetually trapped in the space between. We can choose to live in abundance of the present, in gratitude and acceptance of all the things we now have, that we once dreamt of.
