She didn’t know what would happen this time she turned the camera towards herself
Sometimes it would be the same story that asked to be told. The one about feeling at home in her own body, the one that craved to dance and twirl after too much time caged in, sitting on her hands trying to be still.
Sometimes it would be a calling to just send as much compassion her own way as she could, by looking through the camera.
Sometimes she would just yearn to be playful, to jump and make silly faces and make herself smile when she’d look at the images.
Sometimes she would yearn to capture herself in a way that made her feel beautiful, something she was only now starting to believe she was and she’d take that photo remembering that she gets to decide what about her is beautiful, on her own terms.
And some days, like on this day, the story was one that she didn’t even know yet.
One that she was in the motion of writing, right here right now.
And one day she’d look back at it and it would make so much sense.
But right now, all she knew was that her intuition told her: surround yourself in this green, this growing, this reaching towards the sky.
So she listened.
