…that’s how I’m doing things for the moment. Of course I’m thinking ahead – I’m getting married and am thinking about starting a family. I’ll be someone’s wife next year… possibly someone’s mother some time after that. Of course I’m not fully “in the now”. That would be unrealistic.

I’m trying to go by “being me” one day at a time. There are ups and downs. I can be introspective one day, allowing myself to keep some things to myself. And I can open up at other times, to other people. Be more tolerant and understanding, more giving. And being okay with these different sides of me as I keep growing (up). I want to accept myself and get to know myself better. But as I accept who I am, I also want to know what else I’ve got. I don’t want to change; I want this person that I am today to be all that she can be.

I hope that by picking up my camera every day and trying every day, that I will be able to make sense of who I am right now, day by day. One day at a time. And to keep being creative and inspired.
