## Caption

Two and a half years ago I saw these photos of my first solo photoshoot.

I remember wanting to capture a time in my life I was confident and ready to branch out on my own. Crazy to think how much more I had inside of me from even this point.

I look at some of these and notice little things- faces, postures, lack of energy- that bring me back to what I thought was me being ready to be my best self- now I know it was something different.

It was the start of me being fed up with being scared.
It was me trying to give myself a platform.
It was me jumping-
But it wasn’t a final product, by far.

There’s so so much more.
I’m still figuring out how to stop being scared and how to keep getting closer to that person that’s been buried by years and years of learning to step back, be smaller, quiet down, and be less me.

We have to relearn ourselves.
So in for everything this process has brought me and excited for those around me brave enough to do the same.
