So lately photography has really been on my mind a lot. My whole life different photographers have always told me you have a good eye, unique way of shooting things...blah blah blah and the funny thing is I dont ever really even post the stuff I actually shoot. Like a few weeks ago a photographer I know as an acquaintance started talking to me about "my good eye" and I asked " what are you basing that statement off of" and she says " your facebook pictures." I wanted to be like...are you kidding me...most of the stuff I post on there are just like point and shoot junk photos where 3/4ths of the time Im looking like an idiot along side of the people I love in life haha.
But the more I look into photography and graphic design the more inspired I get....and I have so many ideas but no way to get them out because I'm uneducated....which I'm all for teaching myself but that means investing money into the right programs and getting something other than a junk camera. So hopefully i'll go to my mailbox one day soon and a big envelope of cash will be waiting for me.

Next thing occupying my mind...music. My gosh I have song ideas coming out of my ears...but that would take a keyboard where all the keys work and/or the piano that is stuck at my old house. So getting to that stuff is in my hopefully someday soon file.

Last... I really feel like I would love a change of scenery...a random adventure for a few days. I have time off around Thanksgiving and Kayden is going to be in Nashville for 5 days...but then again that would mean an envelope full of cash in my mailbox is needed and/or a plane ticket.

The mailman better get busy.

I put such limitations on my world

It is obvious that there are so many places to go and so many people to meet and yet I so often forget that and feel trapped in a little box of a world. The good thing about stepping outside of your world is being reminded of that..the difficult part is stepping back into your box after feeling connections with those new people or places...however, it serves as a great reminder not to settle for anything or anyone..but to strive for the extraordinary.

"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. "
Charles Spurgeon

As of late I have really been considering how and with whom I spend my time. In the last year I have truly
seen peoples true colors shine through and even when I knew people werent truly my friends I continued to allow them
to play a part in my life...just so I could say I was there for them when they needed me but I must say Im exhausted
from those who are bound to just see the worst in everything.
It is difficult when you realize things about yourself that you thought were actually a benefit...but then it dawns
on you that its actually a weakness. I have learned that I allow people to get close to me way too quickly. I
just dive right in to any kind of friendship..relationship..I throw all my trust in there ..let down my guard..and then BAM
end up getting a 2x4 to the face more times than not. Now that doesnt mean I regret by any means being
transparent with people... I will always be the kind of person that just lays it all out there when it comes to
things about myself..but time and time again you hear the whole "guard your heart" scripture and I have been
doing a terrible job of that...and set myself up to be wounded or let down way too frequently. I guess I choose
to see the positive in people and the potential of the incredible person they could be...but while Im seeing that in people
I need to be more careful taking the time to get to know them in their current situation as well.
So much changing to do...thanks Jesus for being faithful and giving wisdom when we ask for it...
 
God loves you just the way you are, but He refuses to leave you that way...Max Lucado

Lots going on these days....

moving into  my own place, going to see Phoenix in NOLA, getting ready to head to Los Angeles for work (super excited), planning the launch event of Sound Art (company that im helping start) in January, helping plan fashion show event for launch of a friends new jewelry line in November... I am so blessed to have so many opportunities to do things I love.

Kayden is so much fun...as he gets older I get more and more excited to spend time with him...he is a non stop laugh fest. He brings more joy to my life than I could have ever hoped for.

I am really enjoying church at The Journey..but still hungry for more but the reality of it is its not someone elses responsibility to help fill that in my life..no matter where Im going to church...it just means I need to make more time for me and Jesus. Small groups started last week and I know thats going to be great...I really enjoy the people I'm in group with.

People in my life have been so terrible at communicating with me lately and its super frustrating. Either in not calling me back or making plans and just not following through...and I cant stand that...it just makes me feel like they care so little about our friendship that they just cant put forth the effort...call me old fashioned but common courtesy should still be present these days....

I miss my dad a lot lately and people in Michigan...I didnt realize how much I missed them until seeing some of them recently.

I wish some people I care so much for would grow up and shake off the people or things just wasting their time...time fillers can be a distraction for a while..that helps takes your focus off being unhappy..but in the end only breaks your heart even more. Not that I dont understand time killers...someone or something is better than nobody and nothing for that moment...but if you know it wont last..why waste the time? I suppose for some people its because they are numb...so used to wasting time they think something genuine and good will never come along...but I wish I could grab them look them in the eye and say YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE

Hope all is well in the world of xanga and for all 2 people who read this
