... He Clipped My Wings - Now I Can Fly ...

I’ve been in two serious relationships in my life. One that lasted for almost two years and another that lasted five years. Both of them are now currently in relationships and I am the single one; go figure! Normally it’s the girl who ends up in a relationship and the guy is the one dating around.

As I look back on the relationships I try and figure out what “my problem(s)” were and I think it has to do with the fact that I might be scared of commitment. Now the ironic part is I am also scared of being alone. How do these two work together, I have no idea. You would think if one is scared to be alone then they would commit because that means they will always have someone by their side through thick and thin. Yet, that same commitment scares the crap out of them enough to end what could have potentially been great relationships and is now currently alone.

I know that right now I am going through this phase because I am alone and have a lot of time on my hands to sit and think about the matter at hand, but I just hope that one day things will change. I will eventually realize I was never really scared of commitment, but that the people I was with in the past weren’t the ones I was suppose to commit to. When I meet this “Mr. Right” then I will know that I will not be alone and I can commit to him for the rest of my life. Until then, I guess I will take a Mr. Right-now. ;)

hap·pi·ness

 [hap-ee-nis]

–noun

1. the quality or state of being happy.

2. good fortune; pleasure; contentment; joy.

Why am I happy you ask? Good question! I am happy because things are finally taking a turn in the right direction. I am getting myself out of the rut that I’m currently dwelling in. There have been rough patches within the past two months that have allowed me to neglect the important things; MYSELF. I know that “everything happens for a reason” and “what does not kill me makes me stronger”, although that may be very cliche, it is the truth. 

I have been on a man hunt, looking for a job career and finally after three long months, I found it. I know based on the events occurring in my life, I am headed on the right path. This company has so much potential in learning & development. I have created a short term and long term goal that I hope to obtain, if I am truly happy within the company.

It’s crazy because I have only worked retail my whole life (I am only 23 lol) but I started when I was 16 so I have 7 years experience under my belt. I am extremely nervous and anxious, I know it will be/seem difficult in the beginning but I have confidence in myself to know that I can do anything I put my mind to. 

I start on Monday so let’s see how it goes <3

I have always had a fascination for taking pictures since I was younger. Whether it’s for personal or professional, what I enjoy most is capturing that one moment. They say the best one’s are candid, I agree. It’s when you can unconsciously tap into that raw emotion from within, or catch the beauty in which most think to be “ugly”. It started off as a hobby, taking pictures of friends & family during holidays. Over time, it lead into what most would say is an obsession, carrying my camera any and everywhere, taking pictures of random inanimate objects. If I could carry a SLR around all day everyday; or should I say if only I HAD an SLR to carry around, ha.

Lately, I have been contemplating on turning this hobby or obsession (whatever one would call it) into a career. The amount of work I would have to do, going back to school, buy the equipment, creating my portfolio… It would be quite some time before I made it into a career……………….. After a LONG period of consideration, I decided maybe I can turn it into a hobby that pays $$. Take some courses (not fully immerse myself back into school) and freelance while focusing on my career.

All just ideas… THIS IS WHERE YOU COME INTO PLAY, I am currently accepting donations or old SLR’s you currently are not using to help me get started =D… NO? NO? No takers on this WONDERFUL offer? Alright, I tried. I will just get it the regular way! — tough crowd, eh.

This was a sample photo I took, testing out a friends SLR camera! Straight out of a magazine, I know right. I have an “EYE“….!
