There are moments when I feel that I don’t have it in me; the strength, the courage. Weakened by age and doubts. Paralyzed by questions I can’t seem to find answers to.

But knowing that you have a choice. To wait in joyful anticipation or in fearful hopelessness.

Wait and find beauty in the simple things. Wait and expect for good things. Wait and know that everything will be provided for.

There is a reason why you have to stop for a bit and wait. Sometimes, in waiting, like how you see that bus pulling in to your stop, you get that wonderful opportunity to watch your future unfold.

As someone drawn to colours, I’ve always had this fascination with mixing and matching, identifying which ones will make the whole thing work and what won’t. This applies to styling, for both personal and work, and to composing photographs.

I play with light. Still not very good at it but I’m learning. I appreciate how applying light in varied amounts can change a photograph. Ambient is always preferred but experimenting on various lightning techniques have allowed me to see its advantages, too.

Knowing that there is so much to see outside my little bubble, I simply can’t stay where I am and refuse to experience what’s out there. It’s my way of celebrating God’s glorious creation. The world is one amazing artwork. All we need to do is to take that journey to see it up close. You’ll be amazed.

Journey to discover life. Journey to acquire wisdom. Journey to praise and thank the one who made it. Journey to make the rest of the world something personal. It makes you bigger than you are. At least, that’s how traveling makes me feel.

Yes, it is the journey that makes the whole experience significant.
