Burn Out

Success isn't everything. Money too. And not that "I've made it" (cringe) — I seriously believe there's soooo much that I have yet to learn about running a business and being a photographer and filmmaker — but getting lost in all the hustle really exhausted me and made me question why I do the things that I do. What was I after? What is my actual goal for doing so much work? I'm not the type to submit to blogs (I wish I was more organised and determined for this) or join competitions. What society views as success isn't necessarily what I aim for. So, I'm re-evaluating what my priorities are, how I can continue to do this job, and look after myself and my mental health at the same time.

Hello, January.

I'm saying hello to January 2017 because I'm saying goodbye to the fear of writing. And goodbye to the expectations of what I should and shouldn't write. I'm writing for myself.
