Sometimes I feel un-inspired and un-impassioned.
Sometimes I don't know if what I do matters
in photography
in motherhood
in life.
Sometimes I want to stay in bed all day (sometimes all week.)
Sometimes I don't book a session for weeks while friends that have been shooting for a month after buying photoshop and a DSLR are booking 3 shoots a week.

(Sometimes I want to punch them and everyone that hires them in the face.)
Sometimes I wonder if I will ever be great, or if I'm any good now.
Sometimes I wonder WHY I shoot, and then I remind my self, and move on to less terrifying why's.
Sometimes I can't get over procrastination.
Sometimes I get depressed about being depressed.
Sometimes I feel incapable of change, in myself, or in anything else.

Sometimes I feel incapable of change, in myself, or in anything else.
MY DEFINITION OF HELL: No change, No progression, Never inpire anyone else to change.
I know I'll get over it.
I know tomorrow I'll be back trying to overrun the world with art and passion and goodness,
and believing I can do so.
I know I am loved.
I know I can change.
I know I matter.
But today..... I just don't REALLY know... you know?
I appreciate them but I really don't need the pep talks,
I need some inspiration.
Cool blog posts, photos, youtube videos, quotes, stores, galleries, whatever it is,

Throw some my way.
I wonder all the time too. And I totally get it. I am in your version of Hell right now too. I have so many dreams and things I want to do. But sometimes I think I am too afraid to succeed that it is easier to stay where I am in my "safety" zone. If that is what you can even call it.

On a side note...the word verification I have to type right now to post this comment...duckpoo!! Ha ha. Made me laugh.

AWESOME.
Check out WWW.Katrinastumor.net my brother in law and sister have been an inspiration to me.
ReplyDeleteNot sure "inspiring" is the right word but "thought provoking" for sure; read Beggars in Spain by Nancy Kress. Fantastic book.
ReplyDeleteAlso I read this blog post today
http://www.dinneralovestory.com/clean-slate/
and the 'new year confessions' of the husband made be laugh.
I am not an inspiring kind of person. What inspires me is very different for other people.
ReplyDeleteSo, with that said, here are some funny/cool things that make me laugh and wish I were cool too:
