I never saw you coming

Sometimes I feel as if this whole world is based on what everyone has. Who has the clothes, the likes, the friends, the life. Then I get this discontented thought that I don't have enough. Truth is, I'll go through one album of around twenty pictures I have stored away in my computer, and happiness instantly refills itself.

when people start playing a role in my lack of confidence, I focus on everything else. The way the city looks at night, how good pomegranates taste, a sun glare before a drive, the moon, my kitty sleeping carefree in front of the fire, and saving out of focus pictures from the trash.

and after reviewing all of this, I forgot what I was even unhappy about in the first place.

Bits of a portfolio

I've been doing so much thinking lately of what I'm going to do with all of my pictures. I'm still at a bit of loss, but I have some ideas floating around in my head. I stayed up late last night finishing homework I won't have to look at today, and after that I put together a portfolio. Here's some sample pictures I've been working on; if you'd like to let me know what you think of them, go ahead! :)

sand in your shoes

clearing your head can only be so easy, but it's surprisingly easier with the sound of low-tide waves crashing on the shore at the end of a slow day.

                  

Right now, clearing my head is really all I need. I'm so blessed to live in a perfect place to do so. the ocean washes your worries away. once you visualize how beautiful it is, how it never leaves you, what could possibly make you sad? nothing. let your worries fly with the wind. 

keep your head up ☀
