This brings me to today, in this very moment picking up where the video left off. While I had the vision for Unfiltered Euphoria, I did not have the foresight to understand how much I would grow creatively and professionally within the past year.

Now that I’ve spent the last year working towards understanding what makes me so undeniably Lisa Stapleton, I’m beyond excited to extend this method to my next project Caricatures of Consciousness. Having now authored the first few chapters of this series, I’m inspired by the essence of New York City: to be built by grit and developed by community. 

So, as I conclude this project, I’d like to leave everyone with something to think about.

Each one of you came across this concept for different reasons, whether it was because I pestered you to check out this link, or maybe you came across it online, but regardless - you landed here for a reason, so I encourage you to leave with a reason. A reason behind who you are, and what you want. Because, when I started this project, I thought Unfiltered Euphoria meant being independently and undeniably yourself. But at the completion of this project, I realized that Unfiltered Euphoria is about putting trust in your most ambitious ideas and doing it afraid.

For example, when I started this journey, I had a few network ties remaining. At the completion of this project, I have a community of people helping me write the final few sentences of this story.
