she had not known the weight until she felt the freedom
The changes I've made in the last few months have had such a major impact on my life.
When I started losing my hair again (I have recurring alopecia, which likes to bob it's lovely bald head up when I'm feeling especially stressed out) I decided to withdraw myself from the Rat Race.
Compromising my happiness (and sanity) for the sake of money and clients was dragging me down so much, but it's all I'd known for the last few years. I knew I wasn't happy, but couldn't pinpoint why.
Turns out, all I needed was to set some time aside every day to breathe in the fresh air, put my headphones in and lie in a big old field and appreciate how tiny and insignificant to the universe my happiness is. I have refocused myself on being kind, more on having fun, more on adventures, poetry, music, travel, the odd romance and generally feeling alive!
I feel confident and like my inside smile matches my outside smile now! Hooray!
So here's a little selfie to celebrate, nothing too fancy and of course inspired by all the fantastic photographers who have shared their own worlds with me through their pictures and inspired me to make this change. There are too many to mention over the years. But thanks to you all!
