Changes

I have recently undergone some big changes in my life that have made a big impact on who I am. I have transitioned into the middle ground, and now am Agnostic. I am also less aggressive towards others on political/religious topics, for I feel that only by taking time to understand a person's reasons for their views will we ever be able to find common ground and compromise. I have also found a creative outlet in which to voice my opinion and to teach others. Through filmmaking, I envision that I may be able to send across messages that can help make a better and more productive society. I have finally gained enough confidence to start pursuing my goals, be creative, and possibly connect more with friends. Which brings me to the last topic, of who I am. Who I am is not yet relevant to public knowledge, for at the present time, I am just a man on a journey of self-discovery. Mark Staco isn't a person, a pen name, or even me. Mark Staco is an idea. An idea to voice out who you are inside, to not be afraid of the public, to find who you really are. Mark Staco is a symbol. A symbol of how we must reach our lowest before we can ever hope to obtain our best. To me, Mark Staco is among the first stones on my pathway of life, proof that when I put my mind 100 percent on something, I can fully acheive what I set out to do. For all the love and support, I would like to thank the amazing communities I have met over this project, for you have gotten me through a very difficult yet vital period of time in my life. Stay strong, and never give up on yourselves, for sometimes that extra 10% is all you need.
