Greetings Humans,
I feel like I've been living in a hole in the ground, but actually it was more of a hole in the wall. I've spent the last 6 or so months sitting absolutely still and thinking. And I've come to the conclusion that while I know almost nothing about life, the universe, and the meaning of existence-the fact I know that I don't know anything is a huge step in the right direction. Losing all preexisting notions leaves me free to see the world filter-less and I'm elated at the prospect of experiencing this insane world we live in through newly opened eyes. There is a shitload of things to see and experience out there. I may not know much but one thing I know without a doubt is that life is not about going through the motions of a cyclical routine like you are a living dead thing. If you can't remember the last time you learned anything or had fun then you are doing something wrong. I can't close my eyes now that they have been opened. I can't get off this ride that is already in motion. All I can do is stare straight into the unknown and remember that it's all about the journey.
Ok, no more rambling for now. As for the logistics:
I've been moving around again, I've been taking too much time and advantage of getting to sit around on my ass, and I'm finally ready to come back down to earth. My goal is to be shooting a new set by the end of this year, I'll keep you updated on that. I'm changing career gears, settling down for a while, and taking time to finally plant some new roots. I have so much more sympathy for people who are constantly moving around. It's exhausting trying to do anything when you have no home base. I ended up with only the most important possessions I have and little else after all the shuffling. Then again, there is something freeing about knowing that you can go anywhere in the world with only a backpack if you had to. Not worrying about material trappings is more uplifting than I would have thought. Too bad I can't put this new found info to good use by traveling the globe. Maybe one day. For now I'm staying in one place and starting over. This is ground zero.
If you'd like to know more about my hiatus from life message me. Otherwise sit tight and enjoy the ride with me :)
XOXO Aleon
