This is my third blog post and I’m loving every bit of blogging so far; I find myself awaiting anxiously for Friday to arrive just so I could post pictures and a piece of my mind on here.
The main reason I started blogging was to discover more about myself and learn about other people, so in a way blogging is my way of discovering.
But sometimes, the more I discover about myself, the more confused I am.
I am completely certain that what I want to do in life is creating dance pieces. But as I go further down the road, I find that I’m also in love with photography, writing and making pretty stuff that are and aren’t wearable as well.
So which am I now, a dancer/choreographer, photographer, writer or an accessory designer? Or am I all of that?
That moment, I felt like as if I was being unfaithful to my primary passion – which is choreographing.
But the more I think about it, the more I realize how all forms of art are closely linked together; and by classifying them, we are in a way mentally separating them, boxing them up, dark taping them and attaching a label onto them.
In that case, I refuse to be labeled.
The world itself is a magical wonder and words are formed to help us understand it better. But the magic is lost if we perceive the world only by its given label – which is merely a word.
I think, if we start seeing things beyond it’s label, we might actually find the childlike fascination we once had when we first started discovering things for the first time.
I might have spent more than I should have on these beautiful strings, but I can’t wait to see what I can do with them!
I was told to take a picture in the golden evening light – the background was originally white.
I have no idea what these are, I found them on the beach attached to one another. They couldn’t possibly be a shell; maybe they’re fins of a flying fish.
I couldn’t get the same light as the second picture today, so I used a table lamp instead =)
I do apologize if you think that the pictures have nothing to do with what I wrote on top, I actually wasn’t planning on writing anything at all today but I got inspired.
Thank you for reading, will update again next Friday.
Great blog…you are really exploring your creative outlets, which is the entire reason for blogging (I think). So don’t be labeled, do it all! Thanks for stopping by my blog today too:)

Thank You, I love your blog!
You’re the first blogger who’s following me on twitter so I’mma have to make some changes there lol!
When you say “But sometimes, the more I discover about myself, the more confused I am.” I think I know what you mean. Feeling a little like this today…
Going for a walk outside usually helps in my case, e.g. going to the beach or the park to clear my head.
Hope this helps!
