If I were to sit here and say life is great, wonderful and amazing in every aspect it would be nothing but absolute lies. There are very few people that I feel comfortable in this life to actually express my feelings and thoughts to...this will hopefully change that and provide an outlet for me to express myself a little bit more. What I hope to focus on involves the discovery and growth of some talents and hobbies. In my life I have struggled to find my true passion and it has led to some lasting difficulties. Over the years I have had a couple things that I feel I enjoy on a regular basis and these things I have also been told I am somewhat talented at and the beginning stages of this blog will illustrate these specific hobbies.
Years ago I started a blog much like this one and at that time I remember it was supposed to been centered around the preparation and process of running my first marathon... Over 10+ years later I don't exactly remember the title of the Blog or exactly the direction it took but I do remember the process did not last long and I never did complete that marathon was never. During the short period I experienced in Blogging I came to enjoy the process and excitement of using it as a creative outlet. I still remember to this day something that my father posted on one of my posts. He said " I think you may have missed your true calling..." Over the years that has come back to me several times as I have searched out my true passion and made several different attempts to find something I really love to do. It is his words that have led me back so many years later to see where this creative outlet may take me.
That brings us to 2020 and the world we live in today... There is just not enough negative words created to encompass the nastiness of where we are as a world for the most part. I have tried in several ways to push through certain aspects of life while others have went through extreme trauma and absolutely collapsed. I don't feel the need to divulge the specific details at his time but anyone who has actually experienced the year 2020 knows what it has encompassed.
As I have worked through this year I have found another part of my life that exhibits potential to be a talent based on feedback I have received from others. More important that that is the escape it provides me from the various stresses in life. This is the hobby of Photography. I received my first camera in June of 2020 for my 38th birthday and up to this point has been more of tinkering rather than anything serious but I do enjoy the process of using my vision and concepts in my mind to bring a push of a finger into something that can be beautifully displayed and appreciated for others.
I can't fully guarantee if you follow and read this blog that your life will be changed in anyway but I can say with a certain level of certainty that this process will help me as I can have the creative outlet I may need to have peace in the crazy world we find ourselves in. So please take the time to read and follow along if you would like, I welcome all feedback along the way. Thank You.
