A rose is a rose...

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.-Dale Carnegie

  When I was a teenager I use to collect quotes. I had journals full of them along with drowning, thoughts ect... It has been along time since I kept a journal of any kind. And quotes come easy thanks to apps on my iPhone. I miss the creativity that use to come from keeping a journal, and I think that I might start again. But lately my creativity as been channeled through my photography. I would like to say that I am making tons of money off it, but I am not. I am not very good at marketing myself, I think my fear of rejection and self doubt do play a big part in it. But what I do not gain monetarily I gain in the passion for what I do. I don't want to put off the joy I get out of it because there isn't money in it for me. Most of the time I use the girls at cheerleading wen an idea pops into my head, and I am very grateful for them. Without them, I would not have as many opportunities to experiment and play.

  I am trying lately in my life to live it. Not to be the person who's world revolves around their day job. Working at the hospital has taught me that things can change so quickly that I do not want to look back and regret the things that I did not do. So a lot of things are changing for me soon...scary time, but a step that needs to be taken...I want to live in my rose garden and not dream about it.
