You can't see me in this photo. But I'm in there.
My vision, my eye, my point of view. By the action of creating this image, it became a portrait of me, in a way.
But beyond that, when I saw this photo for the first time, I gasped. Just a little. You see, this photo is me. There's dark around the edges, and light inside. Like the pods releasing their seeds, I am releasing something too.
I'm releasing expectations and rules about who I thought I was.
I'm releasing fears and limitations.
I'm releasing anyone or anything that makes me question my value.
I'm releasing the idea that occasional sadness means I can't also be happy.
So like the seeds, I am trusting that the winds of change will lead me to a place of growth. To a place where I will embrace and love both my darkness and my light.
