Here's one that's been getting at me lately-
This is my only self portrait from my Europe experience in 2008. Some of my happiest memories. Looking at this photo almost two years later, I hardly notice the disgusting blanket, my fuller cheeks, or my bad Italian haircut. What I see now is contentment.
Because I threw off the bowlines.
I long to feel that once again. The rush of stepping outside my comforts and fully embracing life. Which means I have some changes to make.
Glad we had this chat.
Thank you so, so much for the congratulations! :)
