So this is what a quarter life crisis feels like, huh? Thanks for the encouraging comments on my last post about my following my heart. It’s hard to get past what is practical and will pay rent and delve into what I am passionate about. My job search has been disappointing. I miss my tiny college where connections and opportunities were abounding! I usually feel okay about being unemployed for the summer…but then people ask what I’m doing with my life and I have to hear about how important it is to make lots and lots o’ money.

I’m not looking to be a starving artist by any means. I just have a different definition of success ;)

(end of rambles)

My main point is to share that something wonderful came out of my soul searching time in the woods last weekend. I bought a new camera!! Not in the woods of course, but you know what I mean. I have been planning to invest in a Canon 7d for quite some time. My mom encouraged me to purchase it now (instead of at the end of summer) because…why not? If I know what I love to do, I should go for it.

To celebrate, I went on a photo adventure with Amy. We waited until the evening, so that the light was golden. I’ll share the photos tomorrow :)
