I often think about the first photo in this set. It feels like a still from a movie. I can feel the emotions and aliveness spilling out from that moment. Jumping and dancing and folding ourselves into the strange flowers on the mountain, together.
In the last few years, I’ve been more afraid of posting here, for fear of approval or popularity. I talked a lot about this in therapy last year. These spaces reduce us into a non holistic version of ourselves, without our context. They allow us too much control over what is seen and what is hidden. At the same time, I adore creating a digital journal of my life. I find much joy in seeing what has been captured and documented. I am forever the curious observer. I appreciate the little windows I have into lives that I wouldn’t know otherwise. This place is complicated, as all things are. Cultivating outside of these spaces is SO important for a multitude of reasons, too many to name here. Anyways, those are my thoughts. If any of you feel this way, I hope these words comfort you.
