I strongly believe that I will be where I want to be when I am finally ready. I know that I will have to shed old skin: burn the weight off my feet, and deal with the pain. I must develop the courage equal to the most rooted earth, so that I can then be true to myself. Fear is not an option. Adulthood is a lie to keep us from reaching our potential, and I don't want to be another one of you!

Hey.
How you doing, folks?

Fall is officially just around the corner, and summer has swept past me like a magical shooting star. This summer has been a little paradise fused inside organized chaos. I'm lucky and happy to have experienced the feelings I was left with in the summer sun
Summer has come, and is just about gone... The days are getting shorter, and all I hear people talking about lately are pumpkin spice lattes, Halloween costumes, school, anticipation of cold cold weather, and the changing tree leaves.

At the end of August, I went to the Fan Expo. I was working with Camilla d'Errico
Amazing Lady, with such a passion!
I managed to muster up the courage to work the SG booth on Friday. (I was more shy than anticipated)
This resulted in me only being at the SG booth on Friday, but I was with Camilla the remainder of the time. What a tiring, but amazing experience!
. It was a crazy and exhausting weekend, but it was a great experience to be behind the crazy wheel for a change.
Just a few pictures of Camilla d'Errico's booth. What a fun bunch of merch she had with her!, even though you can't really see everything here.






I have given myself the task of re learning everything that I once thought I knew. I like to spend a lot of time by myself, if I'm not working or with my boyfriend. People REALLY annoy me now, more than usual. I am having an intense internal conversation with myself to constantly see that I am staying on track.
Call me aloof, but its a lot of information to take in all at once! At work I am faster at catching my faults, even if it has to be through feedback from others. Let's face it, I can't catch everything that I do, and there is a lot that I don't see in myself that I use. I have learned a lot about how to improve my character within the last two weeks alone, and I'm very proud of the progress that I'm making.
I'm even teaching myself how to walk with the most comfort and confidence I can. The world can be a cruel place, if you let it get to you, but I want to be well armed, in case I land in a situation that requires proper problem solving.


Getting rid of my useless material possessions is providing me more clarity and room to think and brainstorm.
I have a new camera, and am going to be doing constant experimentation with it. I demanded to my boyfriend, when he feels he is ready, to shoot a set for me. I probably won't even deal with that til next spring. I need that set to show a side of me that no one sees, that I value about myself.
I definitely keep on improving my skills in front of the camera, as well as behind the camera. Its great having a significant other that shares the same passions as you. One who helps to propel you in farther with the passions you connect through. Life isn't always happy, but I'm so happy that we both have each others support, and trust.
I will be getting the set I shot in April back within the next month or so. I'm nervous to see how it turned out, but am happy to have one coming through soon.
My Tumblr has changed a bit. Check it ouuttt

Hmm... That seems to be it for now.
I hope all is well!
