homesick

it's exhausting really.

chasing after your dreams, day in and day out.

the passion inside your heart burns faster than a forest fire and whatever cause you are chasing may as well be cured, because your drive will know no end, until you say it is so.

that is me. when i see something that i want. even the most impossible feat seems manageable with the right amount of desire.

sometimes i find myself so deeply submersed in my purpose that i forget to come up for air. i neglect to stop and sit and see. to talk to people who need to be heard. to give. i overlook the little essentials of living deliberately.

this photo was taken in the middle of a very curious forest. kylie and i chased down the sun, once again, jumping in patches of light-just soaking up the warmth. i used my sx70 and 600 film. i chose to crop the white borders because i wanted to focus on the photo itself, not so much the "fad" of a polaroid. people who care too much about white borders are missing the point! wise up!

i'm trying, really really trying to make an effort to slow down here and there and remind myself to breathe. between book making, polaroid printing, a 9 to 5'er, and my desperate attempts at a social life, i miss my boyfriend. i miss my quiet time on the running trails. i miss home cooked meals and reading actual books (not just emails). slowly but surly with unceasing effort... i will find my way back there again.
