OUTLOOK.

I took a small break from posting mainly because I became busy with work and prepping for the holidays, but also because I wanted to take some time to rethink my blog and start the year fresh. I thought of a new minimal layout, and hopefully a new approach to my blog. I want to focus not only on my relationship and our lifestyle but also DIY and inspirational posts.

I intend to make this year count and appreciate my age, my surroundings, the people I care about, and leave all the negativity back in 2013.

I recently downloaded an app that adds "overlays" to photographs taken on your phone and I've been obsessed with it. So obsessed that it inspired my first official 2014 post. I made a set of 12 (including the one above) inspirational "posters" of photographs that I've taken over the past few weeks. These will work as a daily reminder for myself of what I need to work on or where my focus should be. 

Feel free to save these and/or use them as wallpapers or late new year resolutions!

All the photos used were taken by me and edited by me with the exception f the "Single Man" screen shot. 

A recurring theme in these posters I think is adventure - specifically, escaping the world with your significant other - after all, does it get any more romantic  than that? To me, that is romantic. It's romantic, it's scary, it's nerve wracking, it's an adventure. It's holding each other's hand and taking the plunge. Realizing that no one else matters and it's only you two. To an extent, that is kind of what we deal with everyday. There will always be people who disapprove or feel uneasy about our relationship but at the end of the day who are YOU really living for? At the end of the day you just have to say "I'm sorry YOU feel that way" and move on. You can't let people hold yourself back. You also can't let fear hold you back. I think a lot of times I fear death or I fear being alone or not knowing how I will react (live) when a love one passes away and I think I shouldn't be putting my energy into that because at the end of the day  you can't really prepare yourself for that. At the end of the day, you are wasting your energy and not living for the day. 

I hope these photographs help inspire you and if you feel the same way I do then know you're not alone.
