Life is complicated. It usually isn’t complicated because we have difficult situations. Rather, life is this way because we “think” it is. We imagine, we assume and we totally take people’s actions or non-verbal cues the wrong way. We often over analyze things people have said or not said and done or not done, so far beyond it’s actual meaning, that we get lost in the intensity of our emotions and it can destroy our perception of reality or the situation. I just hate when this happens. I can’t stand when I start to over analyze. Whether it is in work, family, love, or friendships, I go through a process that I’m sure most of us all do too (well at least us girls). Eventually anger leads to frustration, which leads to more anger, then resentment and finally sadness. Recently I’ve been trying to focus on just accepting that it’s not me. It’s my thoughts that control my life and I need to whip those babies into check. I am in control and what I say goes. So I say, Be happy! Live life as it’s your last (but really). Enjoy what make you happy. Appreciate the good in everything (work, love, family, friends). Instead of giving up on something or someone I’ve decided I’m going to put more love and effort toward those things. Waving that white flag is just weakness and shows lack of character, lack or self-worth and total lack of kindness.I am not that. I am strong, caring, and motivated. A complicated life is an unhappy one. I’m posting this quote that I found on Pinterest because I think it sums up what I’ve rambled on and on about into a perfect little blurb. And what makes me happy besides my family and friends is photography. I love capturing the present. Photography does not complicate things, it only makes me happy that I can share my talent with others.
Below are photos taken from our little trip to Palm Springs last weekend. I love me some Palm Spings!:)
