    It is a simple question, really. I have built the whole foundation up to this point. I have chosen what makes me who I am. I have eliminated the things I don’t want to be, absorbed and molded who I want to be, so why can’t I just answer the damn question??? And as I sit here, feeling a bit ashamed, a bit scared, a bit nervous, a bit pissed, I realize that my my identity has not been nurtured or cared for in a LONG time. And the ton of bricks hits me.

    I’m living again, by realizing I have never not mattered. I have just been looking for approval from the world and everyone in it but myself. I needed love, I gave myself that love. I devote time for myself to do what ever I want to do, I don’t hold back on life experiences from ideas of what ifs and stigma. I do what I want and make time for what matters to me. I started living by doing small things and hobbies I have always enjoyed everyday! With positive intentions I am able to reach my goals I set for my days. Seriously acknowledging my own needs and realizing I was not filling my own cup the same way I am filling others- including family- I was feeling very low, tired and empty. I didn’t have interests or energy because I wasn’t receiving anything I was expecting back from the world for giving so much of myself but not too myself! Putting my needs as a priority had really changed my life and those around for the better. I am not only doing good things, I’m doing then happy and I’m doing these things for myself too. Expressing who I am, and what I need by being myself and I truly feel I’m getting into the groove of living, but not again though.. because I never stopped just lived and experienced a life lesson.

    I wake up anxious, angry, and on edge, and the people in my house don’t help, since their mannerisms make me feel isolated in my own home, like I am never invited to anything, and I don’t have enough money, they are making more plans than me, taking advantage of life more easily, ready to dive in with a full night’s rest, and yet I am sleep deprived and on edge, taking in the noise outside of my bedroom, not feeling as if I have space to call my own, unable to sleep in or make plans to be solitary, since the activity in my house is audible, and I wonder if the same problems will continue when I live on my own […]

    I’m not sorry I walked away from everyone and everything.  I’m sorry for the people in my life who couldn’t love themselves enough to be by my side but I know they have their own journeys in life to attend to.  I have no more time to waste on them.  I have my own life now.  I’ve given myself the gift of myself.

    To be, is a real journey that takes much conversing and vulnerability. Opening up, coming clean, talking to oneself, naked. Who are you truly? What makes you happy? We already know the answers. Everything is just a matter of materialising it.

    Now I know times have changed, really weird for a twenty five year old to say, but I know everyone is on there phones more now than ever. I know so many people, photographers, businesses, even kids use their phones for photos and videos and heck, even creating whole new businesses, but we all struggle with what people think at times. I struggle with my own internal self saying how no one would think my work was cool, or how family would think I was weird for always wanting to take photos of everything. And truth be told, yeah people probably do judge, my friends and family probably do have thoughts as to why I want photos but its not for them. My photos, my work I created isn’t for them! It’s taking something I have in my head and making it real. It’s making myself smile and feel good for doing something I wanted to do. Like this message to you. I tried to take a photo this morning of my relaxing spot, cause ya know it made me happy, and that’s when I heard the voice. So I stopped, then I thought, “why am I doing this to myself?” I am literally the only one here and I’m making my own self feel horrible for simply taking a photo of what made me smile? So in the midst of my morning routine I stopped to write this message cause it was in my head and I felt like it needed to come out. It helps make me feel better to express these thoughts. I dont know, maybe it’ll help you too? Maybe it’ll help encourage you that it doesnt matter for anyone but you what you allow yourself to do, to feel, to think and express. Maybe this will help spark a fire to go express yourself in any way that makes you smile. Maybe you send this to a friend cause thats your way of expressing and helping others. I don’t know, maybe you don’t do anything.

    I know self-love is a journey been there done that. But I didn’t believe or dared to even think that I could lose the love for myself. I fell out of love with myself, which, let me tell you – sucks. I’d like to say of myself that I’m very self-aware -which I still believe I am. However, I don’t understand how I could be self-aware and yet still go down this road of falling “out of love” with myself. I’m not sure how it happened. I do have a few ideas which I’m not going to share publicly because that is a very personal issue, but let’s move on.
