(upbeat music) - Hi, so before I start, this is, it is new.

I'll say for the past five years or so, I've been producing a trilogy project in which I'm explaining my life and the experiences that I've experienced and incorporating other people's lenses as well.

The physical story is just journal entries that I had written from the perspective of the character, and this is called "All I Have Ever Known."

"You are all i have ever known.

And even then I was still in the dark on what it takes to keep you standing.

Some days felt like a final notice.

Others like welcome home.

Since you were 17, you have slept in over 10 different beds and five different couches, none of which ever felt like you.

For the past seven years, uncertainty is all you've ever known.

Things still remaining in boxes, storage units, and suitcases preparing for the next relocation.

You, a body, skin and bones has become more familiar than any surrounding space.

Your permanence out of sync with basic necessities.

The feeling of isolation and change has become a source of inspiration to the artistic, more curious mind, questioning who else only knows themselves.

Moving place to place, you have met others similar to you, bodies roaming earth like gypsies.

You see that for some this is all they've ever known and possibly all they will ever know.

While you listen to their stories and words of advice, you hold onto the dream that we will all find security, that maybe one day surviving wouldn't have to mean uncertainty, but waking up to tend to a garden that grows our dinner.

While some may misjudge and assume by our outside appearances that we have it all together, others lend a helping hand reminding us that the simplicities of life like locking our doors to keep our belongings safe, and listening to the rain trickle down the gutter as we sip our evening tea aren't so out of reach.

You've changed a lot since your first night away from your family home, and I'm beginning to believe that the world you roam and continue to wander is your home.

The people you've met by rare chance are your family.

And the stories that you'll tell younger versions of you are the same stories that will inspire them to know something new.

To know that although change is good, soon enough, safety, routine and peace of mind will be all they will ever know."

Thank you.
