I sat on the floor with my face in my hands..
It was the first week of June 2020 and I remembered that week I was near my breaking point again. I had such a bad time with my mental health prior to this and thankfully got the help I needed in 2019. During that time I was floating the idea of pivoting into a photography career part-time. I really enjoyed photography, and if I could do it more and help boost my well-being while doing so then I thought why the hell not?!
So I created my own brand and started the whirlwind cycle of trying to make a new business work. I HAD NO IDEA! The work involved in starting this all and continuing to keep on top of it day to day. BUT! Having the support of loved ones and meeting the most incredible people along the way have kept me right.
It's so rewarding to create a piece of art for someone that encapsulates them or a loved one. A single moment, a tender kiss, a longing embrace that will be remembered forever.
Today, it's July 15, 2022:
Over the past two years, I’ve grown so much in photography & developed my mindset and my well-being for the better. I have clients which I absolutely adore. I'm blessed to have been given the opportunity to work with some very talented people in the industry. And now I'm building the future that I could only have dreamt about two years ago.
I now know where I want to be two years from now. I've no idea of the route I will take. If I nurture my passion, it will come in whatever form is needed🙏
There may be someone out there right now sitting on the floor with their face in their hands today that needs to hear what July 15, 2024, could look like for them.
Anything is possible, it's all about your mindset. Don't fear failure, the best things in life come from the risk of possible failure. Start with your inner voice: Talk good to yourself, like it or lump it this is who you are, you only have one life so embrace it! Be who you are! And this may hurt! For the most part, nobody gives a fuck about you; they are fighting their own demons. Love yourself and go with your gut, always!
Thanks for letting me share this story with you today, I'm here to lend an ear to anyone that needs it 🤍
