JUST, ME
I decided to do these self-portraits stark, without makeup and unedited because i'm beginning though work realize through incredible photographers how beautiful the natural form a person really is and an exercise in being comfortable with oneself.
Today I am thinking of the prospect of happiness and what it means in relation to an adult life. I used to think happiness meant the perfect job in a place that attracts you, with someone who you want to share it. It isn't until this past year that I've learned the complexities to such a simple idea. Life isn't about getting 1 + 1 + 1 to equal 3, it's about multiplying, dividing and subtracting, too. One aspect of your life might be in place, but then the rest fall out of whack or what you wanted suddenly doesn't become what you want anymore, and you are left to solve for x.
I am learning, all. And I am also learning that I am the only one who can dictate this equation, despite all that fate hands me. So I'm deciding to set a goal for one year from this moment to do something that I know I want to do and that will make me happy. I'm deciding on a trip to drive up the coast of California whether it be by myself or with others.
