Finding Gratitude in Nature's Beauty

My phone just created a memory that popped up called “golden hour with camilo over the years” and it made my heart burst with joy. This photo and memory was part of it. The whole compilation was varied, widespread around the west, and evoked so many memories and emotions. Mainly gratitude. It’s true. Your lifestyle is up to you. 4 years ago, I had a life I needed constant escape from. I went hard on the weekends and after work. Burned the candle on both ends just to try to feel alive and like I didn’t hate my own existence. Trapped by my own choices. Living trying to impress everyone but me. Nowadays, every quote, book, picture, scene etc I encounter reminds me of beautiful moments I’ve had and act as nods to keep going in this direction because it’s full of beauty and verve. I made changes and turned my life and lifestyle into what I desired most. I became who I wanted to be. I made my life as beautiful as the art I’m inspired by. And you. Can. Too.
