Once again I’m at a crossroads where I plan to make a big change in my life. The hardest part is that it’s difficult to move forward when you haven’t allowed yourself to let go. The past two months I have been walking around with a heavy heart. It has made it difficult for me to write or be creative in any sense. I have questioned things I never thought I would and have done things I’m ashamed of. Motivation has been stifled by fear and even further… a sense of impending failure. Sharing my experiences with others through writing, photos or video is something I love, yet I just couldn’t bring myself to do it.

Today I’m taking the first step to moving forward by dedicating myself to this blog and sharing both the good and the bad. I realized I hadn’t written anything or used my camera in over a month. That stops now.

Stories don’t have to have a happy ending to be good, they are good if they are real.
