3000 Flickr
3,000 Flickr Photos
Wow! Today marks the 3,000th photo I have shared on Flickr.
I have gone through a couple of Flickr evolutions since I first joined in 2007. The early days where I was excruciatingly nervous about posting images of myself and I can still recall the sweaty palms of nerves as I hit send that very first time. The (as I look back now) OMG did you seriously post that? The ummm poor fashion choices and so many weird expressions. But the number one most important thing that came from those early days were the friends and how so many of them are still friends with me on Flickr and maybe most importantly, getting to meet in person so many wonderful girls.
Then came the purge. In hindsight (though noble) it was slightly misguided and foolish. Deleting all of those photos but I thought I had found someone that truly could accept this part of me and it was one of the boundaries that was set, limiting the amount of photos on Flickr.
So 2014 was the end and the beginning of the new Flickr for me and it was the sheer relief of true acceptance and understanding of me, myself and I. Kim was here to stay and if that meant I walk this journey alone to be personally happy, then so be it. With that in mind I was busy around this time. Refining my look and getting better at photos and just going out and being around people and expressing my Kimself. I was back on Flickr and I was enjoying everything that it offers.
Now here I am in 2021. Happy. Content. Proud. Peaceful. My connections have expanded with many more contacts. My personal friends and some family know. I have a solid base of true likeminded friends that I have been extremely fortunate to have met in person. For me, I feel that I am able to be Kim when I want and how I want and it is now on my terms.
I share photos. I share my journey. I share the evolution. 3,000 photos was never a goal and maybe you think that it is just a bit much but I have never felt that I was trying to share anything more than what I wanted to share and so I share on a daily basis.
Flickr remains a wonderful platform for connecting with friends both old and new so I offer this as a thank you to you my friends and to Flickr for being a part of my journey – the three phases of Kim and Flickr.
I hope you, my friends are doing wonderfully and I look forward to seeing you here on Flickr and hopefully in person soon. Be well. Much love. Kim
