Do I have it?

  I’m sitting in a coffee shop wondering if I have what it takes, the guts, the gall, the balls, whatever it is, to make it in this life. I’m still in school. Yesterday I delivered my first two sets of paid portraits, and both parties loved them. I’m glad, it makes me feel good, like I might be able to do this for a living. That makes me think perhaps I can make it outside my family, perhaps out of state. I would like to move to the West Coast next year, but I’m not sure if it will work financially. New things scare me, the thought of the unknown. At the same time, they are exciting. I’m not sure what will happen in the coming year, but I’m hoping it will bring change and renewal.

 

Moving…..

So, I want to move to the west coast by next January, but do not currently have the funds to make this possible. I can however, take out extra loans through school for housing, which is what I will have to do if I want to move. 

Now that I know it’s possible, the train of thought must be: could I make it on my own in a place unfamiliar and with very possibly no friends whatsoever? Not sure. I’m a home-body. That is, I like to have a place to come home to, familiar people, family included. But I want to do something that is uncharacteristic of me. This seems like a decent choice. I’m young, single, don’t have much keeping me where I am currently. I’ll be thinking a lot about this over the next several months, and will update thoughts as they come.

Photo Blog

So, I’m thinking of turning this blog into a photo blog. I will continue to write about experiences, but I’ll add photos, and perhaps a short explanation.
