Emotions are a Part of Life

45/52 {Emotion}

Wasn’t sure if I’d end up sharing this image at first... Being vulnerable is not easy. I've been working really hard on being more present and positive and I've seen my life become so much more beautiful and happy and peaceful because of it. Even still, the "difficult" emotions are a part of life. Just this last week, I found myself so angry and frustrated I just wanted to scream. The difference now, is these rough emotions don't control me. They can pass through me without unpacking their bags and moving in for an extended stay. I am able to face them and trust that I'll be able to weather what may come. Photography has been a way to create so much beauty in my life and an outlet for expression that I’ve found nowhere else.

This week's theme for my photography project is emotion.  

And on a lighter note... Four year old's are chock full of emotions and also make for a perfect model for this week's theme!
