I think that we often view our lives with a certain tense verbiage ‘have to’ as opposed to ‘get to’ one seems more like a demand or chore and the other a choice or option. As for ‘can’t’ or ‘unwilling’, the word can’t is I think often misrepresented…. it isn’t as if you can’t or cannot do something but more-so that you are unwilling.

I think we become more accepting of who we are as we get older and I think it comes from wisdom and experience. When we look at or emulate others we feel we would like to be more like we could lose sight of who we are. I’m not saying that one shouldn’t want to be like someone else but pretending to be someone that you’re not is not something I want for myself and sure isn’t something I want others to do either. I’d rather know the real person, rather than a version that isn’t true.

This has been something that I feel has been inside me that I’ve been showing more outwardly year after year with my photography, my writing, my artwork and how I treat people and what I do to help people. I stand up for what I believe in and what I find important that should be changed in life and I try to do my best to do my part in it, at least a start. At least that’s how I feel about it is I’ve possibly started something for a change.
