I run away from things I love

I wanted to film a vlog showing you guys what my first couple days with my 35mm camera looked like. I used to shoot film photography in college, and I've been wanting to get back into it since it was always really therapeutic for me. I finally took the plunge and purchased a Canon AE-1 35mm camera off of eBay, and have been really excited to take it around and fall back in love with film photography again!

Being frozen because if you don’t go in, then the week technically isn’t started is something I felt in my bones. I have this same thought process when I am battling through something. It’s such a relief to see it displayed so honestly and naturally. Thank you. ❤

I do this when I feel like I need someone to help me through the things that are stopping me from doing the thing that I need to do the most. I have a I have a big deal of going on the bus to school and that is not good. At the beginning of the school year then it was the worst I could not move from the spot where I was sitting at home to get up and get ready. I would just sit there and cry. I missed a lot of school because I would do that regularly. I know what it feels like to be in that same position. I love your videos and keep up the good work you do.

You are real, in a way that is so relatable and likable, unlike most other "content creators" All that just for me to say thank you for being you!! Also, I LOVE your passion for photography. My grandpa owned a photo studio, and my grandma painted the photos, then he went to be the VP of black and white photography at Kodak in Rochester. We donated so much of his dark room and equipment to the Kodak museum after he passed. Anyways, thank you again! Your videos bring a smile to a rather depressed life of mine!

I have this same freeze response all the time. I've literally been stuck in so many parking lots for up to 4 or 5 hours, unable to get myself to walk into whatever building I need to walk in to (often the grocery store) and never have I EVER considered leaving to clear my head by doing something joyful first. Wow. You may have just given me back so... So many hours. Thank you for sharing your struggles and triumphs and everything between!

I feel for you young adults and am, will be Praying for you ALL! My Son also has had other prodecures along this journey for his heart. You and your husband keep together as a team and be there for each other! When your sweet family or friends offer help, or support... Take them up on it!

I cry with you, I laugh with you, I dig out my film camera and think "I should go take photos!" and I know I don't know you! But I definitely feel less alone. I'm watching this after you and the family are all home safe and I still cried despite knowing everything was going to be okay. But that's the power of your vlogs I suppose. Anyway, feeling sappy and wanted to let you know. You're doing great! Thanks so much!

I’m a “professional patient” for a living and my children have all had many surgeries but man is it hard. I ironically just found out I have a hole in my heart too ❤ it’s just smaller and they didn’t find it as a baby or young child so they are thinking it was larger and grew together and now it’s just smaller and still in my 45 yr old heart. Waiting to see when I need a heart surgery for it myself. But kids…that always hits different…It’s so hard to feel so helpless and all you want to do is make it better. God love you doll! I believe He’s got you and your son and your family. Much love doll and again I’m saying lots of prayers 🙏🏻

"Oh I haven't taken my meds, one second" LOL I love your honesty so much. If I go a little bit without my meds my husband will gently ask me if I took them 😂❤

Sending you only love and positive energy and ask for the most benevolent outcome of complete healing for your son. May you and your husband be given peace and strength. Please know many of us will be sending positive energy your sons way Thursday.

I hope that Thursday you will feel the groundswell of good wishes and prayers to guide the surgeons hands. I’m a nurse and have known a couple pediatric cardiology surgeons and they are among the kindest, most caring and meticulous surgeons I have had the pleasure of knowing.

Flight, fight, and freeze are all stress responses. So sorry you are going through this with your son and prayers for you!! Also, this might sound silly…you mentioned that you were frozen and described the beautiful nature as being frozen. Even in anxious states, just remember you are too beautiful!! Love your transparency & videos.

Thank you for being so honest/open/real sharing your feelings! ❤ God bless your family, the medical team and YOU! ❤ A lesson I learned years ago was that no one’s opinion of how I look when on vacation or where no one I know is matters as long as I’m happy being myself. I once wore an embarrassing bathing suit in Hawaii - know one said a word, except my husband (said I was beautiful). Go to the beach with wild hair flowing in the wind - no one said tie it up in a pony tail. YOU BE STRONG KNOWING YOU ARE UNIQUE and LOVED! 😊

I have never wanted to hug a person so much and so fiercely than seeing you so upset with the upcoming difficulties for your youngest son. I hope it is an easy operation, and you can laugh about your fears after it's all over and done with.. big huge hugs

Thinking of you right now and your family, i was there in the hospital with a baby and similar surgery almost 4 yrs ago. It's hard but doable, your a great mom and it's hard feeling helpless, you'll get through this and it will not hurt so much with time. One step closer towards a whole heart and healing.
