Just excited for what these next few months hold. I have so much planned, but I know there's so much that will happen that I have no way of planning for. Rain or shine, I'm excited for the future.

SHE IS

I'm learning the difficulties of not merely surviving, but thriving in this world

And that becoming anything worth becoming, must take every ounce of your being

You must desire the dream with your whole heart, because you see

You stand not alone with your dreams, for there are few who do not have at least one

But it's those who grasp them with dear life that meet their reality

The true dreamer knows to wait while the weak at heart will soon give up

Forge ahead and do not be afraid for the winds will beat you down, but you, 

The relentless, will carry on.

Be not afraid of failure and know the minute you want to give up is not what matters most

It's the minute after that determines your destiny.

SHE IS

outfit details :: pants/jacket - h&m, boots - candies, scarf - target

when waves beat down and winds blow strong

you are left with only two options

to get taken by catastrophe, sinking effortlessly to the bottom of your demise

or to stand up to it, fists in the air, ready and willing to fight

it's in the fighting you find out what you're made of

in the fight, that blood is lost, wounds created and scars left

scars that will serve to remind of the great battles you triumphed over

know this to be true

there is no losing in fighting

only satisfaction in knowing that it didn't take all of you

SHE IS // one

She Is. is my new project.

It is simple really. and truly, honestly, it's mostly for me.

It's something I'd like to share with you, but it's main purpose is for growth.

Perhaps it will spur on the same desire in you.

This is an exercise that I have committed myself to in order to change. examine. become.

and grow deeper in the unknown areas of my life.

I want to center my life back on what matters most and in order to shift my way of thinking

I have created this feature, or series of sorts, to make a memory of this moment in my life.

So one day when I look back, I can see exactly who I was at this age in time.

I hope you'll enjoy the journey, but if you're not into it, that's fine too.

I think dreaming is for the brave

For those who are unafraid

With dreaming comes hope

And with hope, a promise 

There are fewer things that mean more to me

Than the hope of trusting in the unseen

The unseen is dangerous to most

But it's there I find my rest

To become someone worth becoming

Is all I want to be
