Blue

Today I have accomplished so much, yet again. Laundry, dishes, sweeping the floors, two cups of coffee, breakfast, lunch and snacks, the movie "Despicable Me", and painting the high ceiling wall in my bedroom!

It's amazing what a $15 can of paint can do to a room! Unfortunately I do not have a wide angle lens on me today so instead of posting a picture of the room itself, here are a few detail shots that I was suggested I take nonetheless.

Natural beauty

So these photos were inspired by the Japan earthquake/tsunami. Sadly I, like many of you cannot even imagine the intensity of what mother nature decided to produce.

This is life.

Not that these photos show any type of representation of what had happened. They are just a small fraction of the images that were coming to me when I thought of Japan. 


Beauty.


Natural beauty that can put your eyes at rest.


Take a deep breath and be thankful for the life you have and cherish every part of it.

5...4...3...2...1......

This is just one of the many photos I was able to capture of another of my beautiful friends who is expecting anytime now. I was finally able to get out and take some photos of her and I am so happy I did!
Not only did I get to use my photographic skills but I also got to feel the baby moving in her belly and got the chance to catch up with a dear friend.

To fear or love

I really care for you, but I can't handle the life you have to offer.

When feelings are there but fear of the unknown is more powerful, how can one ever expect to live happy. Fear is such a strong power, and we see it everywhere. In love, in friendships, in enemies, in death, fear is what keeps us on our toes. But when should fear be embraced and used as a stepping stool for something that could be even more powerful?

If you fear the idea of being in love with the wrong person, how can you ever expect to be in love with the right person.

I was falling in love, with the wrong person. A strong person I thought was right. My fear was pushed aside and than thrown back at me. I should have put fear first, then maybe I wouldn't have been questioned and maybe I wouldn't be where I am now.

Could it be possible that the fear you feel is actually love? Could it possibly just be a sign that your feelings are stronger than you could have expected? And feeling the fear of commitment is possibly a good sign that you may just be falling for someone? Being afraid is normal. I understand fear. I understand the decisions that can be made out of fear. I just wish that I wasn't the one to be feared.

It's hard to let go of someone you care for. But why would you let go if you did care for them? Shouldn't love be the strength that is supposed to keep two together?

Either way, I understand the decisions that can be made out of fear and I respect them.

I will always be the same person. I will always be there to offer the same things. Fear and love, I know.

The calm before the storm

I lost my groove for a little while in regards to photography and blogging, and in no way am I making any promises that I will continue to keep up the pace. What I can promise is some beautiful photos of a good friend of mine who is expecting her first child in June.

We had a great time doing this photo shoot. I got to see more of her than I ever have, and now so do you... but in the most respectable and creative sense possible.

She's a doll.

Patience

My mind sometimes moves a little too fast when thrown a scenario that I cannot control. But I understand that we all have priorities that can take up more of our personal time than we would like. It all makes those little special moments so much more meaningful, especially when we practice patience. With all the crazy things that I have had to go through, patience is a whole lot easier then worrying.

I tend to throw myself into relationships full force, but I am realizing that doing this isn't going to create happiness in all other aspects of my life, in my priorities. I know that time and patience is always the winner. Or not... But time is there, so really, why rush it when doing so could land you in a worse predicament then you ever thought could happen. Speaking from experience.

When you have been through a bad relationship, it's hard not to compare qualities in others that remind you of the past, but I am finding myself pretty lucky at the moment because I am working into a relationship that has only brought me curiosity about this person as an individual of his own traits. A new book to be read, slowly.

And although I do slightly fear that I am still moving too fast, even just by talking about it, I feel it important to share my thoughts with others that could be inspired, or comforted by my experience, willpower and guts to display it online.

So stop worrying, use patience as a tool and don't forget that you are the most important person in your life that can create true happiness.

My positive nature has returned.
