Follow up on Journal
The photos in this journal each hold a lot of meaning to me. The goal of my journal was to capture the monumental moments in my life. These were not always the biggest events or most obvious times but situations that had a really big impact on me. The photos capture what has changed me and shaped me into who I am today. I put them in chronological order to show where I started and where I ended up. The reason I really wanted to focus on this was because many of the events that happened in my life that were hard or I just really wish had not happened were the ones that made me strongest or changed me for the better. These photos are specific and special to me but I believe anyone can relate to the whole theme. It is not always the best things that make you a stronger person. I also strongly believe that to appreciate what you have you need to deal with certain things that may not be as pleasurable as others.
Another theme that came about in my journal was the idea that when one part of your life ends another one begins. You cannot always just focus on what you’re leaving behind but what is coming ahead as well. In many of my college photos I was so upset that I was leaving everything I knew that I made myself very anxious and scared about new experiences. Once I accepted the fact that this was a time for me to create new memories with new people, it became a little easier. I still have a hard time transitioning from home to school but it always shows you who your true friends are. The people that are still there after coming and going all the time and the ones who you may not talk to everyday but are still just as close with. These difficult situations that we have to face seem unfair at the time and pointless but without them we would be lost. I have learned so much from the struggles I have had, whether they are big or little something good always came out of it. For example when my parents got divorced I thought it was the worst thing that could have happened but in the end it made me closer with my mom and brother and my dad in a different way. I also was reluctant to meet his “new family” but now they have become a part of me and I couldn’t imagine life without them. Everything happens for a reason and I feel like my experiences brought me to where I am today and allowed me to create so many amazing relationships with the people I love.
I found most of my pictures on my old camera, files on my moms computer from home, and a few from Facebook. I took a few photos offline to better represent the mood or what I was feeling in the picture. Some of the feelings are very obvious and some are a little more hidden. I figured by adding these it would help the audience understand the photos a little more and maybe even relate to them better than if they were just trying to guess what I was going for.
