Have you ever watched the sun rise? Like, really watched? I did for the first time at 23 years old. It almost felt wrong. Like it was rude of me to have waited all this time. I sat in my beat up car, in an empty parking lot, alone. Something inside of me begged that I see this. As I watched, the sun started to peek over the edge of the world like a shy child. She was slow at first. Unsure. Until suddenly... she wasn't. The sun came up strong and swept a blanket of light and excitement over everything. I couldn't believe it. Just like that I was watching the world come alive. This was happening everyday. How did I not know? Unfortunately for me, I simply wasn't looking. So in that moment I promised myself to never not look for the beautiful things again. - Thus the inspiration for "Pockets of Happiness" - Through this collectible series I will continue to share Pockets of Happiness through my own lens, and celebrate the simple joys of life with others.
