Change my attempt good intentions, should I? could I?

I’ve been carrying my camera with me lately; I’m hoping that by having it, it inspires me to take photos every day. I really need to get back into it. I need to get back into something- I need something to do to occupy my time, though, I don’t have much.

Isn’t that the problem though? We spend so much time trying to find time in our busy lives. I feel as though all I do is work to pay rent, outrageous rent at that. And when I get home, I just want to do nothing. Nothing that requires too much thought, I need to numb my mind and escape.

Speaking of escapes, summer has arrived everyone around me is buzzing with what they’ll do with the time. Well, everyone but me, because my paid time has been used.

My time has been spent on ridiculous snow days that render my vehicle unable to move from my street – but if I could have gone to work, I surely would have. There was a family death that for my own emotional reasons, I needed to be back in Arizona. And then there was a wedding that took much of my monetary resources, time and had so many disasters. And if that wasn’t enough, I felt unappreciated and left out of quite a bit -it took quite a bit out of me emotionally.

The bottom line is, none of this time has been used in a relaxing manner. None of my time off has been an escape. So with summer here, I feel like it’s going to be a long hard year and I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.

This and many other reasons is why I need to get back into photography, so that I can discover my creative side all over again and bring my own light and find an escape.
