Growing up my parents told me I could be anything I wanted to be...
I chose to be me.
Another year, another moment to reflect. Twenty-four years of roaming, learning, loving, dreaming, experiencing and creating, among many other things. With epic wonders and manic lows life has treated me in ways only one could fathom. I must say though, I am well on my way to living my dream, if I’m not already.
As a kid, I of course wanted to be a Doctor, a Firefighter, a Chef, a Deep Sea Diver, and a powerhead in the game of life... but most of all I wanted the simpleness of being “cool”. I wanted people to look up to me, to make people happy, to put a smile on their face, a laugh that shakes their soul. To make them feel wanted and needed, to inspire and make them go forward in what makes them tic. I guess this is why I not only enjoy people but creating things that make you look beyond the picture, beyond the canvas, beyond the materialistic. I find the moments and things in life that make us do this... well, fascinating. I want to make a note of it, to capture it and to hold on, probably why I enjoy photos so much. Taking a photo and being able to look back and reflect just as I am about this year and all the other ones that fell before it. So to anyone I’ve ever talked to, had dinner with, anyone I’ve ever met, anyone that has ever touched me, inspired me, bumped into, yelled at, anyone I’ve lost, been hurt by and loved by thank you...
Thank you for molding me into the person I am. I look forward to the rest of my many adventures life has before me.
