I just sent this message to two of my dearest friends from New York who do not know each other. I had planned on writing something totally different for this entry, but then after I wrote this, it kind of summed it up for me in a much more Annaesk way. I hope everyone out there can relate in some way, and that you too have a support system going that never lets you give up, and keeps you going strong.
Dear _____ and _____
So I was just thinking, and procrastinating starting my school work, and updating my blog... But anyway, I was thinking about how awesome you both are in life in general and what you do. And how you are both amazing photographers who are trying to get gigs set up and actually get your work out there. And you both live in New York (where I will never be moving back to by the way). And you maybe need a support system, or maybe just someone who is going through the same hard times as you, and maybe has some advice or has heard of something that the other person might be interested in. OR maybe you could become friends and start something awesome together, and then be awesome at it, and do awesome things, and make awesome art (for me of course to put on my wall since it is white and boring and you both know that is not my personality at all).
But basically what I am saying is that I have been having a really hard time at my new job, and I want to quit at the end of most days, and don't even want to go to school at the beginning of all other days. And the only reason I am still going and not giving up is because I have a good support system down here of people that I can talk to, and bounce ideas off of, and keep me going. Other wise I would not still be going and be teaching high school math, which is exactly what I want to do.
I just want you both to be able to do exactly what you want to do and went to school for 4+ years for, and I know a friend with the same ideas/ goals would help.
So become friends and make it happen. Then come to SC and take awesome pictures of me... I mean the beautiful scenery and the ocean and the old buildings and the alligators!!
I miss you both and hope this made you smile that I'm thinking about you on a Saturday morning:)
