Mental State
The mental state of someone is always a tricky topic to bring up. I’ve been debating for a week or two, if I should share this post or not. I decided that I wanted to share it, not just for you to get an update but also for myself. These past months I've been struggling a lot with my anxiety and it has come to the point that it made me stopped doing what I love, which is my photography. I'm too much of a workaholic and perfectionist that I couldn't keep up with my work anymore. My anxiety and urge to always be at my best, basically broke my down. I wasn't happy with any of the work I did.
I'm still in the state of not wanting to pick up my camera for the time being because I need time to heal, recharge and reflect. I need to find my voice again and to rethink of what I actually want with my photography. I've been on this so called "break" for two months but I think I'm ready to start posting a little bit of the content I already have. One thing though, I won't be making any of my longer blog posts or captions in the beginning. That's too much of a pressure to give myself since I struggle a lot with my writing. And I think it could be good to lessen the writing to try something new. To be real, my photography is what should be my main focus within my creative content in the end anyway.
