Feeling Lost

Is anyone else feeling lost lately? Artistically, or otherwise. It seems like everyday I wake up to something different and every time you think the world is settling down, BOOM! It hits you like a ton of bricks. I am finding it very hard to find inspiration or even motivation when my mind is constantly filled with politics, protests, natural disasters, (Did I mention I was hunkered down at work during a tornado on Monday?!), killer hornets?!, Child predators and human trafficking!!! And don't you dare think I forgot this goddamn virus! How could I possibly forget the notorious covid-19! When I can't leave my house without a mask (even if it wasn't the law mandatory in my state), and all I see & hear are debates about the god forbid masks! (Seriously, they're not going to kill you... but covid just might...). Not to mention, every time I log into Facebook for my daily 5 minute dose, I come face to face with conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory.... after conspiracy theory.... My brain is constantly tired. I feel drained and I can't seem to find any light in these dark times. All I need is a good pick-me-up or a nice long distraction (or vacation...). Unfortunately, I can't leave my house without crippling anxiety that I am going to catch the virus and spread it to all my loved ones. Anyways, I picked some photos from simpler times to remind myself that there is always beauty in the world, even when I don't see it for days or weeks (or months) on end.

Side Note: This weekend, my high school best friend is getting married, and although I am anxious about celebrating this big day, I am beyond grateful to share her special day with her and her future husband. I am hoping I will break out of my quarantine shell a bit and find some inspiration. Stayed tuned for another post of my favorite wedding shots I've taken. (& maybe a covid test on Monday..)
