UNTIL I STOPPED

I used to write frequently. Until I stopped. I used to bake often. Until I stopped. I used to photograph the world around me. Until I stopped.

Somewhere along the way I put life on perpetual ‘Pause’ and have been unable to hit ‘Play’ for the past few years. I let circumstances guide my future instead of taking control of events and people I let into my life.   

Now it is time to stop stopping and to get back to living. Back to creating. Back to finding meaning. Back to contributing to the world.

Not everyone will like the content I create. Not everyone will agree with what I have to say. But that is fine. It does not bother me.

I will continue to write. I will take out my baking pans and jot my recipes in my notebook. And I will pick up my camera and record the moments in time I have been given to live.
