Why blog again?

I chose to blog again over microblogging via social media because I wanted to quiet the noise. I don’t have comments on this blog and I honestly don’t even think anyone is reading it. And it feels peaceful to know it’s quiet here. I am sure I will eventually spill out a whole post just about this subject but for now I am just not ready. Just consider this place, not only a landing space for my clients to view my work and books sessions but the blog will be a small journal for me to sit with my thoughts, jot them down, pen to paper, or rather finger to keyboard. I am hoping it brings me a bit of peace of mind, quiets my nerves, and gives me a bit of therapeutic relief. It’s the start of a new chapter and journey. And it’s just for me. Not for likes, comments, not that I disliked any of that. I engaged decently on social media, made a lot of connections, did well with my photography, and used my space to be me, share my stories, and connect. But something else was bothering me about it all. I couldn’t shake it. It’s not something I want to delve into in this post but I will say that it became very “NOISY”. My mind wouldn’t shut down, my soul was restless, and after a recent personal situation, it became too much. I sat down, prayed, ruminated, and ultimately decided to come back to this space to try a different approach. This is my journey, my journal, random thoughts, notes, stories, client photos, passion projects, love for photography, and just straight up random nonsense. Thanks for following along, or not, because that’s fine too.

ps: Most of the time my little bits of notes and writing will have nothing to do with the photos attached. I apologize in advance.
