While riding on the bus this morning, it struck me as rather horrifying that I had no idea what today’s date is. After a desperate search for my phone (dead battery-no luck), I realized I’ve become so absorbed in my “auto-pilot” routine, that I have lost my ability to pay attention. With that revelation in mind, I’m vowing to break out of my shell and out of my coma by getting back to my priorities. First, and most importantly: less stuff and more experiences. The first part of my vow, selling off most of my possessions on Craig’s List, has been an incredibly liberating experience. Imagine, if you will, the feeling of curating your life – for the first time in 28 years. The second chunk is proving to be a bit more difficult to initiate. However, I’m doing my best by preparing myself for a 16 day solo trip to Vietnam and Cambodia this November.
Back to traveling.
Back to photography.
Back to experiencing in the first person.
