Tumblr makes me so thirsty...

First day at new job. Date with a cute guy

When you’re feeling comfortable in your own skin and your new apartment

That moment when you realize; although the last six months have presented such a wide variety of obstacles, struggles, and down right life altering events, there is still happiness around the corner.

As a photographer, I get really hung up with the idea that I haven’t progressed or improved much over time. Then I decide to go through my lightroom archive and literally cringe at my beginnings. Time to get at it and develop the next wave of improvements.

With every photographer I follow, I realize there is still so much room for improvement and growth. So thank you.

Just breathe

This feeling, it’s new Breathe in, breathe out. Its all consuming What has happened to me?

This feeling, it’s warm Breathe in, breathe out. The sensation, it’s addicting I don’t want to be without.

This feeling, it’s sickening Breathe in, breathe out. Your presence, it’s nauseating And like a disease, taking over.

This feeling, it’s everything Breathe in, breathe out. Mind says run, heart says stay What have you done to me?

Lost in the Forest

One day a boy took a walk

Through a forest.

There were paths laid out for him

But he chose to make his own.

Through the darkness he stumbled lost

Only hearing the unsupportive whispers of trees.

Not fearing the uncertainty

He continued with nothing but a fools hope.

As he broke through the last tree into a clearing,

He realized this was only just the beginning.

There is Beauty

Somewhere under the snowy mountains,

Something unspeakable has happened.

Your soul has been stripped and ruined,

Feeling nothing but abandoned.

 You look to your right, then to your left

Hoping for something to shoulder your sleepless plight.

There is a pit in your stomach, you feel bereft

But I am here; I am here for you tonight.

 You want to escape and I don’t blame you, just jump in

There is beauty in the descent.

But know this; I am always here for you,

through thick and thin towards your ascent.

Frank Sinatra

On and On

It all begins

A single spark, a dream, a hope for a brighter future

And yet I start drifting.

I know the course

An open door, a path, a pivotal crossroad

And yet I start drifting.

I have the support

A kind word, a friendly touch, a parent’s unwavering love

And yet I start drifting.

I see the result

An adventure, a family of my own, a life well lived

And yet I start drifting.

It all ends

A single spark, a dream, a never-ending cycle

And yet I start drifting.

Just let go, it will always work out.

Give life to that which you believe in

Journey before Destination
