Art heals the world, it helps us remember and connect and feel And I’m dedicated to grow deeper in all those aspects. I’ve been feelings Very grateful lately for the life I’ve been able to build as an artist xx 
Life has been hitting me lately, in all different ways and aspects. Recently moving and trying to get used to my new routine and my new life now has been challenging and rewarding. Life feels so different when you spend majority of your time alone with yourself, you really have to decide the type of energy you want to sit in within yourself. Recently I have picked up the pieces and decided what I want out of MY life. Deciding to move back to a place that inspires me to be an artist again has gotten me so excited to pursue photography full-time. I spent all week writing down photo ideas and contacting models and brands and getting my business back on track. It’s taking me a lot mentally to get this Motivation within myself and create momentum for myself creativity. Yesterday I did a really fun shoot just to build my book and an hour later my entire camera bag got stolen.  It was THE camera I shot with the last eight years. The buttons were literally falling off but I couldn’t let her go, she was so sentimental to me. I created The most important part of my career with that camera. Life has just been tricky lately, i’ve been feeling extremely alone and when you’re being tested it’s really you vs you. Through these tests, it really shows you how much of a fighter you are no matter how big or little the setback is. I honestly had a lot of things planned for February that I was excited about and people I planned to shoot to make new connections with but I guess they will have to wait. I’ve been trying my best to be patient with everything going on in my life. Still going to make my dreams happen to be a full-time photographer again, just wanted to be real on here because I know that Life online always looks like sunshine and rainbows but really we’re all just human putting in energy and effort into our daily lives and sometimes it really gets you down. I know it’s just a camera but to me it’s hard to continue to remain positive when you’re already going through so much AND let’s be real, it’s fucken hard to make a living in Hawai’i as an artist and sit comfty. (It was my ENTIRE camera bag with all my gear and lenses. All the tools I need to create that I worked so hard to save up for😭) Sometimes the energy and feelings these situations put us through are just so defeating. Putting some positive energy out there that the next few months run a little smoother than the last couple months, I know this is a test that it’s really up to me to support myself mentally and emotionally through everything that I go through. it’s not about the problems we face but how we carry them ♥️
The only constant is change and the only thing you can control is your thoughts and where you place your energy. There’s going to be a lot of things in life you won’t understand but have to accept. things you just need to let go of. The important part is knowing your worth and knowing your truth and fighting for it. As the year comes to an end all I can do is be grateful. The art of detachment~ nothing belongs to me , it’s all an experience~ trusting everything that let go of you is ok to leave and whatever’s meant for you will unfold. I hope anyone who’s going through a huge shift right now can have the clarity to reclaim your energy and be around people who bring out the best in you. & as I’ve always said … your direction is more important than your speed 🦋
Those who died yesterday had plans for this morning. And those who died This morning had plans for tonight. Don’t take life for granted. In the blink of an eye, everything can change. Let’s be there for each other, lets speak a little sweeter, let’s love a little deeper. You may never get to have that chance again.
