Aside from my closest friends, I haven’t found anyone, in a long while, that’s truly worth my while. I want to meet someone pure, someone who finds beauty in the smallest things, someone who finds the greatest pleasure simply in seeing another smile. I’m tired of the same old people, doing anything and everything to sustain their personal existence without any regard to their surrounding. I want to find a person that makes me think in different ways and makes me explore spiritual aspects of myself that I never believed existed. It never has to be a romantic companion, but I want a companion that is different.

There’s an overwhelming sense of accomplishment when you get something right. When the photograph is flawless, with its colors beautifully laid out across the screen, when the strokes of light are paralleled to thoughts that escape your mind, bright and blinding when the button on the camera is silently clicked. Tell me that photography isn’t therapeutic. Art, in all forms, is a way of life; it’s a way of self-discovery.

The world truly doesn’t realize how much beauty it possesses. Different cultures, different people around every bend share and grow together, but as a whole, an overwhelming sense of antipathy reigns. The selfishness of personal advancement, whether it be financial, physical, or spiritual, pushes the thought of selflessness from the mind. I believe that we weren’t placed here to indulge in self pleasures, but moreso to help others realize that they’re not alone, that beauty is present all around them, and its hand is always outreached.
