Things I once loved
August 9th, 2009
I’m finding there are many activities I used to love and would make it a point to do them but I’ve lost them. Its seems I had ample time to do them. I would scrapbook and make handmade cards on a weekly basis. I would adventure out to new areas and explore scenery with my camera that I loved so much. I even used to develop my own film and pictures. I would read countless books in no time flat. I would even deepen my relationships with good friends by spending quality time together. I used to write poetry… what happened to that??
Through college I seemed to have lost those things. I don’t know if it’s the lack of time and the stress or what, but I really miss them. I want to get back into photography. I’ve got this great digital SLR and I miss using it. It’s just sitting there collecting dust and losing value. What a waste. If I do actually get back into it, I’d like to get some good lenses for it. See these things take time and money. And right now I’ve got ample amount of one and none of the other…. But I’m working on it.
As for scrapbooking, it also takes money. But I really do miss it. I used to dream of opening a business selling the cards I made. They were pretty darn good. I’ve done a few things here and there throughout the past couple years but nothing big or great. Currently I’m working on a book with my mom and we’ll see how that goes. We have some creative differences but I think it will come out nicely.
But the whole point is, I’d really like to take time for myself and do things I truly loved doing. If I find I don’t enjoy them as much as I once did, then oh well. At least I tried. And then I get to start the fun of exploring new things I can enjoy.
