In many ways, it feels reassuring to be becoming the person that I want to be. And, if I’m being truly honest, that’s the best birthday wish I could ask for. 

But it seems to me, when this is all over, I'll feel a little closer to my fellow neighbors.

But perhaps more importantly, prior to this quarantine, we were all moving a little too fast. So when this is all over, because yes this too shall pass, I hope that we’ll all continue to stop and smell the [tulips].

Some shots aren’t exactly in focus or aren’t 100% in frame but you know what, that’s okay. One of the many lessons I’m learning from this new found slowed down pace is that things don’t always go as planned [case and point this entire situation], but what truly matters is how you react given that change. And, on top of that, I actually have a newfound appreciation for shots that I would have previously deemed too imperfect.
