take a chance at the gardens

A great inspiration for the week came from my visit to Garden of the Gods.

The amount of natural beauty in this place is absurd. Everything from the impressive color combinations of burnt umber and sienna's to the incredible rock formations. I suggest anyone who has the chance to visit, do it asap. 

This is just a little taste of the many pictures I got at this beautiful location:) 

If you can't already tell, photographs were so much fun! Regardless of all the kids running around, and the odd looks I got from them. 

 Don't let these pictures fool you though. Even though the experience was fun, this was hard work. I don't know how actors, models, and photographers can do this all the time. This doesn't even compare to the forty selfies I take to post a good one to insta. I wish I was more like James Franco, who's Instagram is full of cheesy, careless pictures if you didn't know. 

This is only the second or third time I have done a small photo shoot, so my experience is at zero here but  I want to let people know that it is okay to do things out of their comfort zone. Every once in a while, it's nice to break loose and do something fun. I have a super shy personality, but that has never held me back from pursuing the things I love. I have enjoyed being outgoing in my own ways; impressing people through art, dance, and theatre, things that I love.

Take chances people!!!!!      I couldn't be this happy in life if I had not taken all the chances I have. From making a fool of myself on stage (in a fat-suit) playing the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland my sophomore year in high school, to letting my best friend cut, and ruin a vintage dress for my show last year. 
Chances I am willing to take over and over again to gain such great memories.  

Take chances to meet new people. Lose the 'first impression' you have of them, and they will give you so much more in return. I have heard so many times how when people first met me, they thought I was someone completely different. I am not intimidating to talk to, or a snob, I'm not judgmental, or ignorant. 
I am full of hopes, and dreams that I work toward every day. I keep away from bad influence, and always push for a good vibe.The people I keep close to, are ones that i trust and love. I am occasionally funny, and always approachable. I don't know how those that don't know me get it so confused?

Let someone in, without judging, and see the wonders that you've unlocked.
