Smile.

*Sigh*  The one thing that makes me feel alive is photography. When it's me, my camera and my music playing in the background, the world feels right. Even if it's for the half second the shutter closes and reopens, in that moment, everything seems to make perfect sense. I see the world through a lens, there is no doubt about that, and perhaps that is my problem. I carry my camera with me almost everywhere I go, even if it's to the store for milk...But I haven't turned it on or taken a picture with meaning for almost 6 months.

Why is it so easy to push aside the things that you love so much, including ourselves .I see this happen so much in life with so many people, especially in myself. It is so easy to get caught up in making money, working, running errands, getting things done within a deadline that we forget to take 2 mins to take a picture, give a hug, or simply smile to the person sitting next to us on the bus?? 

I'm making a pledge to myself today...I'm going to smile more, not get irritated with grumpy people, but give them love, pick my camera back up and take more pictures, and most importantly, enjoy life. It's the only one we have...and we never know when it's our time to go. <3
