Self-Reflection

After separating from a long-term relationship, it has made me realize how dependent I was on my significant other, at the time. That made me feel like I had lost a sense of self. With this, I have been relearning independence and who I am as a person. I was very much all over the place in my head with how I felt emotionally and mentally, when starting this project. I couldn’t think for myself and had a lot of self-doubts. Ultimately, I felt lost and lonely and felt like I was losing my mind. Over time, the friends I have, have helped me slowly realize the kind of person I am. With this I was able to focus on myself. I was able to re-find things like dancing that made me happy. I reconnected with friends that I ended up distancing myself with while I was in that relationship.

The biggest thing I had realized is that this is my life. I can live it how I want to and live wherever I want to without the influence of a significant other. With this, I was able to focus more on my passion in life which is sports photography. I have been able to travel and photograph some amazing memories that I know will last within the past couple of months. Now I am in the mind set, of making this a career for myself and have been consistently looking for where I would like a job in that field.
