Photography can almost be seen as a language when it’s paired with storytelling and intention. In the case that photos are being viewed as a language, we try to read or understand them individually like words. And when a sequence of photographs speaks volumes, it’s as if it‘s a poem with rhymes and rhythms. Well paired/sequenced photos can serve as rhymes while the general theme/story sets the rhythm.

11/2022

Seems like being worried of what could happen makes it not as bad if things do go wrong, but that just makes your quality of life worse since you’re in a constant state of angst and anticipation. Although, living care free makes things feel worse when disaster strikes unexpectedly.

one thing that’s sort of cool to consider is—you can be upset about the lack of logic in other human’s behavior, but you should ultimately be more upset with yourself for giving a fuck to begin with.

let’s write our names in the sand and watch them wash away

03/2025

Stop trying so hard.. I mean this in the sense of trying to force an outcome when you can just see what naturally happens

02/2025

There’s this seemingly gradual, natural flow that God sets up for us and as soon as I become aware, I try to take control of this flow and it always messes everything up from when I was oblivious of the flow’s existence all together.

It’s a muscle that’ll take a bit of training, but I must igonre the urge to dissect what’s happening as it’s happening.

Sometimes it’s best to take a step away and work on yourself/endeavors in solitude.

You don’t always need friends, you can often find that same fulfillment in strangers.

What drove me to this realization is—on paper, I technically have many friends. Friends whom I deeply care for and treasure. But in all actuality, it seems all but a few of them only care for surface level intereactions. In my honest opinion, that just seems like a glorified stranger.

And lets not confuse anything, I am by no means a perfect friend or maybe not even a “good friend” but I do have everyone’s best intereset at heart and wish more than anything that I could get more out of those “friendships” than a meme or a story like.
