i am me.

Well, it's been awhile. There hasn't really been a reason other than I just haven't had inspiration. 

Correction: I've had inspiration, I just haven't wanted to sit down & write. Especially after sitting at a desk all day.

So, here I am. Sitting at home, watching Law & Order, and enjoying the late summer breeze.

Let's talk about the title. This has been something that has been on my mind so much lately, and is showing itself in many places.

Someone shared the below the other day. I printed it off & have it pinned in my cubicle at work.

I feel like I want to put this one the forehead of everyone that I talk to as a reminder to myself. Oh, and add it to my forehead as well so others can see it.

How many times do I (we) find myself (ourselves) walking around life trying to fit in. Trying to take pictures with my phone instead of my fancy camera because it's too distracting. Or trying to write the perfect email to someone knowing that it'll never be as good as someone else's. 

I don't know about you, but it is exhausting & frankly, I am kind of over it.

I want to be me. I want to be the person I am evolving into & not a nice little cutout of what I think someone else looks like. 

So, here's to me being high maintenance when it comes to my drink order at a work happy hour. To hauling along my camera, 2 lenses & taking beautiful pictures that I will treasure. To eating a sandwich on white bread at work while everyone else eats their salad. To loving those that I love & what I love without any fear.

To writing this post & not giving a damn about possibly having a drink while I slowly ease myself into not caring about what people think about my writing.

Cheers~
