For the group Get Pushed, I was asked to photograph something that makes me feel uncomfortable. After thinking for a few days about all of the things that evoke this feeling for me, I came to the one that I felt was a commonality amongst the rest - Introspection. I've tried my best to write about my feelings, my faults, my fears over the last few years and to read and reread and make sense of it all.

 

After going through several years' worth of highs and lows, turmoil and overwhelming happiness, I've realized it's because of this concept that I feel ALIVE. It's so easy to point the finger at every one else and place blame. How about pointing the finger inward and figuring out your part in your own sadness, disappointment, depression? It's easy to be the victim. It's much more difficult to search yourself and come to grips with the idea that you could very well be the biggest factor in your own unhappiness.
