For the past week and a bit, I have been utterly exhausted. I have moved houses at my moms, had a million different school assignments due, been doing horribly in my Chemistry class and trying to keep up in my TA class. I have been reading books for English, and preparing projects for my Travel and Tourism Class. I just got sick yesterday, and today it's even worse. I've taken cold medication that makes me fall asleep in class and I still have a million other things to do and hand in.
Photography is my escape. It's like a portal that takes me to another world. While everything else goes on, I just get to go out and enjoy everything around me, leave reality for that fraction of time and not worry about anything else. If I didn't have photography today, i don't know who I would be. Would I be that girl who just sits around and does her work to coast by high school as a social outcast? Wou;ld I be that girl who decides to not care about her grades and goes out and parties to fill a void that cannot be filled by anything else? I am extremely privileged to be able to be the person I am today, a person who cares about herself and who tries to strive for her best as often as she can. I am glad that I have found something I can be so passionate about.
So even if everything in my life seems to be down and out, I will always have that high and passion of photography to fall back on and lift my spirits to new heights.

The focus of life is not to be what other think you should be, but is to pursue what you want in life and figure out who you are. This is just me trying to find out what my life is and where it will take me.
