Silly Things in My Eye














I have been participating for the last year and a half in a 365 photo project Envisage 365 and will be joining the sister project Photographic State as it starts it's second year. My dear best friend and partner is also participating. I am looking forward to seeing the world through his eyes more. Envisage introduced me to a wickedly fabulous group of women and I have to say I haven't connected to a group of people like this in a long time. Especially a group of WOMEN. Sadly in the same group I have had to let some relationships go. I have been accused of not giving said person a chance, but as selfish as this may sound I put my feelings first. I watched the fall out from this and the childishness and the viciousness that erupted and decided "No I am not trying to fix this, I am letting it go." And trust me I did not behave in a manner suiting an adult either but I'm cognoscente of this at least. Once upon a time I would of done all manner of placating and apologizing and attempts to "fix" things. This time I took a deep breath and said "I am stepping back and I am doing what feels right for me, not the nice thing." And frankly? It felt freeing. So now I go forward with the misfit gang and wait to see what emerges.
