A Fresh Start

If you have read my previous articles, you know that I have been working on giving myself a new start and creating a better life. I feel like a lot has happened since posting those articles. I took a break from everything that I started. Everything that I was enjoying and was working hard on, I walked away from. I think I had put too much effort and force in myself to be constantly be updating my blog and trying to really work hard on my photography. I put too much pressure on myself, and something I loved doing became that one thing I hated. So I took a two month hiatus.

About half way through March, I was really starting to miss my photography. I had decided that two months is more than enough time to take a break from something that I have loved for almost my whole life. So it was time to jump back in.

I had rewritten my photography noted back in December/January. When getting back into it in March, I thought it was time to fully start over. So, I took my notes from January, which took me a full week to rewrite then, and I took a new sketch book, and started writing.

Since then, I have created a brand new photography website. I scrapped my original website that I created all the way back in 2015. I am 100% happier with this website than my old one. I have found my specialty and I am running with it. There is still more that I want to do, and more I want to add, but I needed to take a small break from photography website, so I decided to recreate my blog.

Both my websites have gotten a beautiful remodeled look. I've been pouring about a month into both of them, and I have to admit that I am proud. Maybe it is not where I wish I was fully at with both of them, but I'm trying. I ran into an old childhood friend today who I haven't seen in seven years. I filled her in with where I've been in the last few years, and what I'm trying to do with my life now. She said that I am trying several different things, and that's a good thing. I'm trying to figure out my future. It made me feel good that someone else can see me trying new things, and understanding that I am trying to better myself.

Going from here, I need to learn to balance out my work. Enjoy my life, while finding time to write here, as well as work on my photography. I got to shoot in a new cemetery today, and it was wonderful. Today was definitely a good day. It helped me realize what is important, and how to enjoy the most out of each day. I would love more days like today, but only I can make that happen. Here's to better days, and doing things that I love.
