Title found on the blog of beautiful Jay of Reality Coma via I wrote this for you.
**These shots were taken almost exactly 13 months ago. My hair was shorter and darker (but still just as damaged). I wore much higher shoes. My eyebrows were thinner. I had just started a new job. Everything is different now, and much better. I've learnt a whole lot. Now I keep my bills and accounting in folders, have a savings account (albeit an empty one), and I actually enjoy going to the gym. I am calmer, happier and healthier. I've found the time to drink beer in the sunshine, read books that I actually want to read, and I wear much less make up. I used to think that growing older and taking responsibility was awful. Now I've found that it isn't that bad. Growing up is an intimidating process cause you're just kinda thrown out into the world with the cards that you have been dealt in life and you have to make sense of things all on your own. Life feels like Alice in Wonderland: running around trying to make sense of many nonsensical things. I'm not sure if that ever changes but I'm starting to learn the things that work for me.
It's funny when we're younger we're taught to do things and live a certain way. Now we are older and wiser and know our own selves and know what is for us and what doesn't. The best part is there's no one way to go about doing anything. :)

DeleteI think I'm a bit in the same place that you were eleven months ago... Since I became an adult I've been doing what I thought I was supposed to but feeling more and more miserable and unsatisfied with it... Now I'm on the cusp of embarking on an adventure and learning what really works for me, not just how I'm supposed to live. I hope I will come out the other side with a prespective as fresh as this. And also, perhaps, the strength to forego very high shoes ;)
