Petra McGregor

At first I was afraid…
I’m Petra and I’m no longer petrified. 
I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up, I just wanted to “change the world.”
Turns out, the world changes whether you want it to or not. 
I grew to be an artist, whatever that means. I’m an actor and a writer, I like telling stories.
We believe the stories we tell ourselves. They define how we see this “ever changing world.” Lucky for us, at least lucky for me, the story can change too.
I used to be directionless and lonely, full of angst and potential that I was squandering with risky behaviors to cope with the weight of being alive. The story could’ve ended abruptly and tragically. 
But it didn’t, by the grace of god, the strength of desperation, and a whole lotta love. A bedrock formed, the story changed. Petra means rock, and I had to grow into that name.
Now I get to spend my time telling stories, to choose creation instead of destruction. It changed my world, so maybe it can help change your world too.
