A girl who wanted to be a writer, who never ended up as a writer..
I spent most of my teenage life typing furiously away on my keyboard, or jaunting down thoughts and stories in a notebook.
I excelled in English, and found a passion no one I associated with could understand. I eventually decided on Photojournalism, or “Photocommunications” as the school called it, and I was dead set.
I modeled for a while early on, and had my heart set on that too. I had this whole plan of making money in commercial print, then moving to CA so I could go to Brook’s Institute, and pursue a career in Photocommunications. However, eventually because of ridiculous thoughts planted in my head from the boyfriend of 3 years, and friends, I stayed in AZ.
What do I regret in my life?
Never taking that chance. I let everyone but me decide my destiny. Photography is my passion. I don’t even own a working camera right now, and it kills me everyday. I went from enjoying the camera on either side, to just wanting to be the one who snaps the moment. I do regret some things in my life. I know you shouldn’t, but I think it’s my human right to do so.
I used to write like no other. I used to stay after with my English teachers to talk about how to improve my writing. Now because I’ve been out of school so long, I doubt my spelling at times. I lose inspiration as the days go on. I have moments of brilliance, and moments of stupidity. I just wish I had that passion I once had, years ago.
My goal is to get a camera, no matter what kind, back in my hand. I think my writing stems from my visions, and without those moments captured in time, I lose myself and forget. Hence my 365. It may not be taken with the best camera, but it means something to me. It’s letting me capture a moment, capture a feeling, and let’s me write about my day, even in layman’s terms. SO please bare with me, I’m learning my way once again. I’m open to new things, and hoping they only expand my path so I can lead myself back to the path I once wanted to travel.
Hello Katlily,
Sorry that I am interfering with your business , but I must say this.
You should never regret the things you have not done. You don’t know what would have happened if you had them done. Would you ?
Would life be better for you?
Maybe, maybe not .. and there is more .. you are young enough, who knows what life brings you.
You can still become a writer or photographer and move to California if that’s what you really want. As long as you believe in yourself.
Kind regards,
You are NOT interfering.
Thank you. Thank you.
I appreciate your kind words, and did I say thank you yet?
I can’t wait to see what the future holds, and I hope I can pursue what I dream
Why does that not surprise me that you modeled?! Lol!
I was in journalism for a brief period in college… and I liked writing too. Don’t think I was ever that good at it tho.
But I think you’re a fabulous writer, I like reading your blog… and I think you’re doing such a great job with what you have for your 365! Keep it up girly!
hahaahhaha girly, thanks
Journalism is so fun, I just wished I would have stuck with it.
I’m trying to improve.. stay with me will ya? Gotta debate the whole school thing (AH!)
Oi! I think you’re thoughts come out incredibly. From the point in time that I saw the “Piece of Shit Car” skit you planted, I’ve made a point to check your posts, and read them, as I always draw some inspiration from you, and you are a REAL person out there, not just the usual out in space kinda person… if that makes any sense
… As you can see, my writing skills aren’t up to par at all 
I started a blog a while ago, and lost interest in it, so just keep givin er(!) so to speak
….. I’m even contemplating whether I have what it takes to start a 365 (based on inspiration from your flickr blogs as well)
So I’ve slid in here to give you a high fave! Let the good times roll!!!
Wow, I couldn’t say thank you more.
It’s nice to hear, that someone hears me, and it does something, anything, for someone
A blag is a tough commitment, a 365 is an insane commitment. It’s absolutely insane. I’m trying to stick with it because I never stick with anything.
Try one or the other, don’t start a million things like I did.. trust me
Thanks for the wonderful words!!!
