When passion becomes pressure: Taking a step back to enjoy photography again

 


Hello Passioners, I hope you have been well!

It's with a heavy heart that I announce that this post might be our last one. I have decided to take a step back and enjoy my passion without the added pressure of being a blogger. While the idea of a blog was exciting, the responsibility that comes with it can be overwhelming. 

As a Master's student, I have a lot of assignments and projects to focus on, and I can't jeopardise my education by dedicating too much time to this blog. I have learned that a passion is meant to be enjoyed, and as soon as it starts feeling like a chore, it's time to stop and re-evaluate. 

I recently visited Brussels and traveled around Ile de France last week. Surprisingly, I didn't take any pictures, and I wasn't motivated to do so. I realised that I became more focused on capturing the perfect shot than enjoying the moment. 

When passion turns into pressure, it can be difficult to find joy in the things you once loved. As much as I enjoyed sharing my passion for photography with all of you, I have decided to take a break and focus on other aspects of my life. 

I want to thank all of my readers for supporting me throughout this journey. Your comments and feedback have been truly appreciated, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to connect with so many like-minded individuals. 

In conclusion, I want to remind all Passioners out there to enjoy their passions without any added pressure. Pursue your dreams with a light heart and an open mind, and never forget that your passions are what make life worth living.

How I reconciled with my passion for photography

Hi there, I'm Sephora and welcome to my blog, where I will be taking you on a personal journey through words and images. I will be publishing on Saturday afternoons because then, we allow ourselves to dream and escape the harsh reality of life and another one on Sunday evenings to prepare ourselves to go back to our routines. Therefore, I hope my words will take you on a trip finding the hidden creativity within you. This blog is the expression of my vision of the world; however, today's topic is about forgetting one-self. I do not know about you, but I have never been the one to look around me. I never took the time to appreciate beauty in the world or in random things. The main reason must be because I never stopped; I was always moving, always thinking about my issues. Just me, me, me and always me.  Growing up, I dreamt of being a novelist and was attracted to art in all its forms. Yet, my dreams were cut short because of capitalism 😂. I didn't know what being a writer...

Ways to find hope in the everyday: a photographic journey

 Remember to look up ☝! Hello, Passioners (yes, I found a cute nickname for our community 😋)! I would first like to apologise as I failed to post on Sunday as agreed and promise to try my best to not let it happen again. Thank you for your understanding.  From the previous post, you know that this one is a way to prepare us to go return to reality; however, because it's already Wednesday, this post aims to push us not to give up for we're halfway there. In my artistic journey, I have come to understand that beauty and hope lie where less expected. As I started appreciating the world around me, I came to find that I should always look up. Sometimes, the most beautiful part of a building is the ceiling, and I am not the one to write an essay on how beautiful the sky is.  Being quite an optimistic person, I like surrounding myself with positive energy and that is what looking up came to mean to me. I look up to forget about the downs in my life. I look up because I know it'...
