Go With The Flow Not Against It

Photo Title: Aura
There are times when you discover something new and you want to do it over and over again. Sometimes when you repeatedly do the same thing again and again, you worry that you're not being creative enough or that you're limiting yourself. For a while, I kept making my photo edits look completely abstract and different from what the original photo looked like and I felt like I was restricting myself from being creative. 
It took me a while to realize that if a particular type of "flow" was coming to me while I was playing with my photos, then I should be thankful that I'm getting creative ideas. Even if they don't seem to be what I want to do at the moment. At this point I realized that this is probably what's meant by that saying "Go with the flow, not against it".

About Me

Gentily almost facilely I'm roused from my sleep. The enigmatic cause of this effect inspires wonder in me every morning. The unspoken almost indiscernable feeling immediately puts me in a state of awe. Not another moment goes by until my mind begins absorbing the images or the feeling of colors that danced behind my now open eyes not too long ago.

The feeling of awe disipates as I fill my day with less meaningful activities. Every action taken without thought, every unfelt smile and empty conversation I comply to vexatiously chips away a piece of myself. The seemingly insignificant and ordinary things in life rouses another discernable feeling that sharpens my mind and makes me feel awake again. Whimsically I share my thoughts and experiences with others hoping to rouse them from sleep with the unexpected beauty I found. Repeatedly I am left feeling misplaced and misunderstood before I finally cultivated that art of listening. Shortly afterwards I embrace and eventually value the idea of being a mystery to others.
