The time is getting near and we have to depart this place which seems like only a dream. I make traveling one of my priorities because I love creating memories and capturing them in pictures and video.
If you’ve seen this VLOG, then you know I’ve had some pretty mild hoarding tendencies because I use to have a hard time detaching my emotions from objects. I felt that if I lost and gave away certain things that had sentimental value, then the memory would be gone with it too, but it’s not true. Memories are forever in your heart and with technology now days, it’s easy to capture moments so they can last forever. I’m talking about this because I wanted to share with you how much it means to me to travel to different places. It can be anywhere from the next city over, to across the world in a new country.
Maturity can do wonders to your soul when you start to realize how miniscule the things you thought where important actually aren’t. A lot of things use to stress me out and it wasn’t until I turned 26 that I became more aware with life and just enjoying every moment you are blessed with. I’ve always been good at dealing with change, especially because in the military that’s something that comes quite often. When I had Izek and I started to see him grow up so fast, I started to get scared. And to think that I’m now in my late 20′s…man, that sent me into a full-blown panic attack. That’s the beauty of life though, we grow old. We live. We just have to make sure that every moment is well spent with the people you love, doing the things that truly make your soul happy, like painting. It’s actually one of my hidden talents. I mean, I’m no Picasso by any means, but I think I’m good enough to where I can call it a hidden talent.
Painting, or just art in general brings so much joy to my heart. I like to paint spontaneously because I don’t like having “schedules”. When I paint instead of doing something I’m obligated to do, that’s when the real happiness comes out. I end of having a better day. And at the end of the day, happiness is a choice. How can we not choose to be happy and do things that bring that emotion out.
Anyway, this post is longer than I expect, but I’m sitting in my cabin, back from dog sledding, and I felt like letting my feelings out. I can’t tell you how many time’s I’ve done this and almost always end up deleting it and just writing my outfit details. I hope some of you can appreciate this. Take care and see you tomorrow!
