Judging by my ‘Photos of me’ section in my Facebook profile, it looks like I’m out more often in comparison to the last 2 years. But that’s only when the camera’s taken out.
So I’ve been out at least once a month so far this year, which I’d be pretty happy to keep up. I see it as a way of keeping the stress levels down, a little chance to do something different.

How I did it: I think what held me back for so long was not knowing what the other person would say to this, if anything at all. But I found this quote that I really like and I wanna do more inspired by it, "If not you, who? If not today, when? If you don't do anything, nothing will change".

How I did it: It didn't actually take 6 months to get done, but it took 6 months to work up the courage! I tried going into a tattoo parlour a few times but I kept chickening out cause I knew it was gonna hurt a lot. Finally, took a trip to Amsterdam and decided I'd do it there, pretty cool experience I must say. Extremely painful but worth it! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I felt pretty down and I was willing to try anything to pull me out of it. My mam does it every now and then so I thought I'd give it a try. It may even be more powerful than seeing a counsellor. Read how I did it…

I started this on Jan 1st. I was so proud of myself, I was doing pretty well. But then my house was broken into, and I just quit. I was so miserable for a long time after that.
Now I’m starting my own photography challenge, where I only take pictures at the weekend. As I’m in college during the week, nothing special about that really so it works better I think.
