Keeping the Dream in Sight
Well, I did it! 2024 was spent well with lots of growth, living below my means to live life to the fullest. I traveled the world, joined a pickleball club, finally took that pottery class, and lived in the homes of many other people's lives so I didn't have to pay rent. It was amazing, I never had to wake up to an alarm, drag myself to a job I was doing out of necessity, and most of all, I got to spend my time doing what I love: Photographing and filming weddings.

The Possibility of Him
I sit here at the computer, day three after another person expressed they didn't see a future with me. Seeing him off wasn't that difficult, I had two dates a week, making a month of only kind of getting to know him. The day it happened, I filled my night with distraction, the day after, I let myself feel the disappointment of starting over. Today, I want to be over it, but unfortunately, I still feel hungover from being let go. The day after it ended, I woke up to a meeting I had forgotten about with a couple who inquired about my videography services. I joined the call with exuberance and played on their excitement and the sweet syrup of love that filled the void while talking about their special day. They were lovely, present, and so full of hope that I typically live by. But that day, all I felt was the lack of possibility. I felt the presence of what they have and the absence of what I cannot seem to find.
