It's Okay

A few days ago, when it finally warmed up, I decided to take my camera out and explore my campus. After shooting a few shots here and there, I got one that I had to say, "WOW!"

Take a look at that! Dark, moody, Mysterious- It's like Tim Burton took a photo! I really wanted to try something new, something I told myself at the beginning of the year. Do things that challenge the social norms, to find a new angle of looking at things.

That also came up in my "Piano" Session.

it always amazed me that the little things can be so wonderful. My photos are not that good, there are many MANY others who are WAY better as I am. And that is Okay. We will never be in a place that we are the best in the world-someone will always be better than you.

And I'm Okay with that.

Being the best at something means you never keep pushing yourself-you never keep learning new things, see new ideas, see new angles-you are stuck in this "Perfect Mess" of life, always trying to get ahead but knowing everything. That may sound weird, but it is still true.

I may never have the best photos, I may never get over 50 likes on my Instagram page (which, by the way, is instagram.com/joshua_benda93), but I do what I do, and post what I post because it makes me happy. And if it makes me happy, then that is all that matters.

So live your dreams, take chances, take choices, and live within your created being.

And remember.

It's Okay.
