I am absolutely terrified of the uncertainty that is my life right now. I know I should be nothing but excited for this next year, and really I am. I'm ecstatic. but I'm so scared of what happens when I get back. I don't like not being sure. I don't like "well, if it's meant to be..." I don't like having zero idea of what I want to do, where I want to be, who I want to be with. and I hate how -chill- everyone acts about it like I'm just supposed to kick back and let everything unfold on its own. no, this is my life and just let me be a little scared for a second because change is frightening and its ok to not be fucking cool 24/7.

I love this

[sunfl0w]

reading through old posts realizing I am every bit the boy-crazy, painfully cliché girl that I claim to hate. I've had a lot on my mind the past few days and I'm trying to make a valid effort to change some of these things. I have to focus on myself and stop trying to force things that are out of my control. I'm looking forward to the rest of this summer filled with lots of firsts and lasts. I want to really make the most of it and enjoy every minute.

reading about the past gives me anxiety. thinking about the future makes me nervous. I want to to simply live in this moment but this moment too quickly becomes the future and then just as quickly becomes the past.

There was a time in my life when boys actually did nice things for me like leave flowers and mix cds at my apartment door.  Now I feel like I have to beg for a booty call.

Hey guys! I finally have a website for my photography again and I would love it if you all gave it a quick peek!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of being apart of this couple’s beautiful wedding day. Right as we were about to head to the ceremony, the storm clouds rolled in and it looked like they were going to have to make other arrangements.. but this typical Florida afternoon shower didn’t last too long and Sarah still got the outdoor wedding she had dreamed of.  I’ve been lucky enough to take part in quite a few weddings now, but none of them have touched me the way this one did. They could barely get through their vows before breaking into a mixture of tears and laughter, both declaring “you are my best friend”. Seeing the love that poured out of them, not only for each other, but for all of their friends and family around them, was truly inspirational. These two are so lucky to have found that ‘someone’ who fills their soul with even more beauty and makes them feel complete.  I wish them all the best as they move to Canada and spread their love and joy to others.

Just got my $750 check for the wedding I'm photographing this Sunday.  So excited!!

Also now I can finally start buying all my gear for bonnaroo. yessiirrr

So this isn’t exactly international travel or au pair related, but in 8 days I am venturing to Manchester, Tennessee for Bonnaroo Music Festival! Rob and Danyella came over so we could practice setting up our tents in my backyard. My little 2-person tent took about 3.5 minutes to assemble…and their MANSION tent was, well, slightly more complicated.

I’m getting so anxious for next week to get here…just a 6 page paper, a class project, and a wedding to photograph until then….. Deep breaths. I got this.

I've never felt more alone in my whole life

I have no motivation to leave my bed.  I have no interest in seeing other people. I want to shirk all my responsibilities and just be free for one second.
