Mentor - update


 

In the blink of an eye, it was over. The decision was final, leaving me no choice but to accept and honor it.

After careful deliberation, I chose Mark to be my photography mentor. It became apparent that he wasn't interested in being my mentor after a few text messages. When asked for his opinion on my work, he admitted he wasn't comfortable giving critiques.

I chose him for his photography skills, his wealth of life experience, and his exceptional ability to capture moments through a camera lens.

With the decision made, I will return to occasionally posting on Threads, enjoying the simplicity of sharing without the clutter of Instagram or Facebook. If you are interested, I can share my Threads account or provide my work via other methods. I plan to share only with a select few.

Until next time,

Tim

Leave

  I’m not okay. This week has been stressful. So much, in fact, I had to take a medical leave from Humana. It began today and will last through most of March. Though I am relieved somewhat, I still am fighting some of those internal demons that constantly haunt me. During my last visit with the doctor Erin, she knew immediately, without a word, that something was wrong. She noticed, and we discussed these stressors on several visits prior to my last one.

I feel as though my heart is a runaway train, racing uncontrollably and leaving me uncertain of its eventual destination. Whether it’s anxiety, fear, overwhelm, burnout, depression, ADHD, or simply the fast-paced world we live in today, my mind reached its breaking point. Overcoming and shaking off this feeling is l...

I don't worry about the world ending.  It has ended for me many times and always started the next morning. Until next time  Tim

Forever

  So, I am finally coming to terms that I am not a forever type of person in most people’s lives. I mean, I’m okay to be a conversation when it’s needed, or I’m a person they call on when they need something. I am a placeholder or I’m a stand in. I am barely an option at the moment once they get whatever it is they need. Then they leave, and I am stuck holding onto feelings or emotions that drain me or cause me heartache. Accepting that realization that I am not a forever type person in people’s lives is reality. I have a tiny group of people that check on me regularly and for that; I am grateful. Most others fall into the category above. Until next time, Tim
