This is fantastic writing to accompany beautiful images. “I am not who I expected to be”. What a fantastic thing to be able to say. The courage to say yes, to take a path less travelled, to create with your footsteps. Love this.
Daunted though I am by the quality of these words, I’ll throw my hat in the ring. I’d love to collaborate - I think it’s the way forward for this space, for life in general. Barrie
Seriously though, it's more common than people realize to evolve and shift, to realize that some things we cared a lot about in one stage of our journey has become something that we no longer care much about, and the other way around. It's normal, and it's helpful to realize that it only means we are growing, shifting, evolving. It also means we are living richer lives, not that the earlier stages were bad or incomplete, just that now we're adding new layers to our personal histories.
That is the hard part, staying away from remorse over what we were doing before. It might have been absolutely perfect for us, at the time.
I think also sometimes we are told that we should "know" what we want without even trying anything first, and simultaneously choose a path that is "safe"... I love the idea of life being a journey, such an inspiring article!
thanx michael! i'm working on it, hope to bring more soon

Good photo, good text. Giving up the reins once in a while and letting the road take you where it will might be the key to happiness.

That’s absolutely true, we don’t realise that every stage is necessary , the bad, the incomplete, the painful ones. It’s how we grow.
That was great, very inspirational.
I would also be interested in collaborating. I'm not sure how, but I'm definitely up for it.
dropped you an email
