Twenty Twenty

I started off 2019 essentially running away from life, or at least trying to, by jetting off to Los Angeles to spend time with my sister, escape the Connecticut winter, distance myself from my disheartening job search, and focus my energies on growing the blog.

Needless to say, I did not succeed in running away from anything, except maybe winter, though Los Angeles still proved to be wet and grey, just 20° warmer. I applied to a handful of jobs in LA, I heard back from none. Blog growth crept along as slowly as it always has, though it was delightful to be able to photograph spring outfits in January without risking hypothermia. Perhaps I came home too soon - to a snow storm in early March - or perhaps it was foolish to think that going to California would change anything. I packed all my problems up with me, no wonder my luggage was overweight.

The remainder of the year was spent trying, or intending to try, and do things differently. I still need to do a lot of work, I still need to find the strength to make changes, to work through my fears, and discover where I can find happiness. I hope this year I can get a little bit closer.
