You want to know something crazy, I haven't smelt a flower in about two years. I haven't appreciated anything in life lately, the beauty of it all. It kills me to know I'm letting all this pass by me. Thank God for photography or I really would be so oblivious to the gorgeous world around me. I guess I just get so caught up in everything. School work, writing, reading, sports, recreational things. Not that any of those things are bad, they are all very vital to my life, but I haven't really set aside any time for myself. I need time to relax. It's not that I don't get breaks, It's that I don't appreciate my breaks when I have them. Now that it's summer, I finally floated in my pool and figured out what a true break feels like. It's lovely. My creative juices also started flowing again. Thank goodness! I was almost going through a creativity block, which wouldn't of done any good considering this new promise I have with my blog and I. Back to the point. I feel that as human beings, we appreciate everything more when we are given time to truly take it in. Some of us, as i very well know, don't have any of that time. But, every once in a while, we get a little break. Don't waste the break doing something you're not going to remember the next day, do something productive. Take in your surroundings and the beauty of it all and start to really enjoy life again. For those of us that do have ample amount of time, don't take it for granted. Take it as a gift and use it to the best of it's ability. You don't have to always "stop and smell the roses," because then they become less special, but every once in a while makes you love them more and more. Same goes with everything else. So give yourself a break, you'll be able to catch up later. I'm sure a break is well deserved and when you're ready, you can go right back to your daily routine.
Happy Break <3
