It's been a month since I first arrived here in Ireland. Everything about my life seems different somehow. I feel as if I have been opened to a new world I didn't know anything about. As if I was blinded from everything that was in front of me the whole time. These people I have met here have changed me. Were all connected in some way and completely different at the same time. It's strange how much of an impact someone can make on me after only knowing them for a month.
Everything about myself has grown in some way. I feel happier, wiser, healthier, braver, smarter and older than I have ever before. My whole life I have seen things a bit differently than other people which is one of the reasons I think I have such a strong passion for photography. I pay attention to the little details about the people I meet and everything around me. I image taking a picture in almost all moments of my day. Pausing time for just a second to capture the little details of a moment otherwise gone. Being here has changed me. For the first time in my life I have been completely responsible for myself. No one take care of my mistakes. I'm discovering how capable I am being on my own.
I have always been curious about everything around me, asking questions and being fascinated why things are as they are. Wandering about alone when I wasn't suppose to. All those instincts have finally grown into something so much greater. It gave me strength to come to this unknown place and just live for myself. It feels good to finally be lost in the right direction. Sometimes I don't need a plan. I just have to trust, breathe, let go and see what happens. I refuse to be afraid of life around me. Of course I have to remain smart and cautious but that doesn't mean holding myself back.
I feel like I'm waking up to everything around me that I never payed attention to before. I feel authentic and beautifully vulnerable here. I feel independent, strong, courageous and fierce. I'm finally moving on from the past thats haunted me for so long. I am kind, creative and compassionate.
I am aware of my weaknesses and will apologize for my actions when necessary.
I will never stop trying to be a better person and I will never say sorry for who I am.
For the first time in my life I truly know and accept myself.
