These days have been filled with a lot of stress, a bit of apprehension, and a touch of frustration. Thoughts of my future, my career choice, and my college have been consuming my days. It's hard for me, and on top of those worries, I have school, work, and extracurriculars to keep up on. I never knew going to bed at night could be bittersweet. I want to sleep because I'm exhausted, but I don't want to sleep because I don't want to wake up facing a whole new stressful day. Now, it's not all stress... I do have fun, but my days have been stressful enough to outweigh the fun parts. That's why I've been looking forward to my session with one of my favorite little red-heads. I've been photographing Bentley since he was 3 months old and his photos have never failed to put a smile on my face:)
How could they not? I mean, look at this face:
Today, I went on a college visit to Xavier University. After visiting UC with Kyle's family, I knew that I wanted to check out Xavier because I fell in love with Cincinnati. And today, I fell in love with Xavier. As I sit here in my new Xavier t-shirt snuggled up in my blanket, it finally seems real. I am going to be off to college in less than a year. On the long car ride home, it hit me how much I'm going to miss this year when it's gone. Yes, it's been rough so far, but I'm doing my best to make it great. It's my last year before college. I'm not sure if I'm feeling excited, nervous, terrified, or maybe even all of that at once, but for the time ever, it's real to me.
That's progress.
Smiles and lots of love, Taylor
