Been a while.
Hey, it’s been a while.
I haven’t posted anything since June of last year because I just wanted to put myself off and away from being on social media and this website. I don’t want to get too personal on here (I have a separate blog for that) but I’ve been on a roller coaster the past few months. Working and balancing my day job and my events and concerts photography has been taking its toll on me. Always up and moving with no brakes in between. Soon enough, I’ve lost control and broke down, feeling like I’ve lost my identity and succumbed back where I started. I’ve hit my lowest of my low regardless of how much I’ve built up for myself.
So I gone back to where I needed to be: therapy.
Took a break from shooting but still had promises to fulfill.
Quit some things because it wasn’t benefiting anymore.
Being more present and not feeling like I’m missing out on anything.
Giving myself time to rest and investing in myself with self love and care.
Learning on how to move on forward and forgiving myself.
Being happy regardless of the successes and failures I had to face.
When I felt comfortable, I’ve slowly gotten back to where I needed to be by starting from the beginning. Reconnect with friends I haven’t seen in a while, wrote down ideas, created projects, shooting my shots with more work, and refining my photography through the work I’ve been receiving.
In all story short, I’m back.
Let me show you through some photos. And maybe one audio piece from a podcast.
Keep low, hit high.
