More of me
I chose these photos because they are part of my story – in essence I’m the same person now as I was in each of those photos - energetic, curious, creative, sometimes uncertain and insecure, enthusiastic for almost anything that grabs my attention.
I can’t remember what I imagined life ahead would be like at each of those ages but I do know that my experiences and the decisions I’ve made, my dreams and passions have brought me here, at this time.
My life isn’t perfect, but then whose is? I have my failures and my successes; I’ve made mistakes and even learnt from some of them. Like you I’ve known regret, disconnect and life crisis, and yet I am here today living with intention and not drifting with the world and circumstances. I’ve learnt to focus on who I am rather than what I am meant to do.
