Limbo Tres

I have been thinking about so many aspects of my life, going over my stance on them and how I should deal with everything. Even though outside events might occur, I know it's my reaction to them that will determine how things play out. Intentionality is key. And I know it's okay to think about scary things, like loneliness, loss, sadness, heart ache, deadlines, and letting others see me as I truly am. But it's how I deal with these thoughts and act on them that will determine where I find myself. So it's okay to feel this way, but processing and learning from my experience is key and I will be stronger for it. Phew.

That transient feeling is something I have not experienced this deeply up until this point. I go from one state to the next, unsure of my next move and what life is doling out to me. This makes me nervous and afraid. But I also know I am here, right now. And instead of rejecting my situation and waiting for the future, I need to grasp the present and learn from it.

Whenever I am feeling ungrounded, I have turned to this transient style of photography, using long exposures to create impressions of myself. Sometimes it is fun to be ungrounded, to feel a part of everything and not holding onto false boundaries. But it can also be confusing, frustrating, and unfufilling to live in "limbo" for too long, where you lose sight of yourself and become emeshed in everything else.
 

Part of me has clung to this "other world" feeling, not wanting to feel reality, because honestly, it has been hitting me with some pretty unpleasant situations. But, as a human being, I am part of this world and neglecting it means I am also neglecting the "good" in my life.
