i used to.

believe in

expression and preservation 

of precious memories and pure emotion 

through words and images.

every chance i got i used to

paint with light and record it in a photograph 

and to use words to convey feeling.

sometimes i caught a bad case of wanderlust and 

my creative mind took off running.

i was obsessed with documenting;
afraid i would loose something
if i didn't.

and over the years it has honestly been so helpful

to cultivate my soul

but that time is over.

i mean don't get me wrong,

i don't not think that way any more.
(i will never be able to escape it)
but yet it seems lately my mind has taken a different 
approach. i no longer feel the urgency to document everything here

and in a way i feel freed.
