“I need solitude like I need food + rest, + like eating + resting, solitude is most satisfying when it fits the rhythm of my needs. A regularly scheduled aloneness does not nourish me. Solitude is nearly a misnomer. To me, being alone means togetherness—the re-coming together of me + nature, of me + being; the reuniting of me with all. For me, solitude especially means putting the parts of me back together—the unifying of myself whereby I see once again that the little things are little + the big things are big. I believe that solitude is a profound + needed act of self-love + self-appreciation.” - book I’m reading 📚 I find solitude when I look into the lens of my monocular camera. When I’m able to zoom to the other side for perspective, I feel like I’m looking at the whole world + yet I’m the only one there. I feel alone yet so comfortable in that feeling of solitude. The noise stops + I feel the energy of life. But it’s until I’m able to review + make meaning of these precious moments that I truly feel present. It’s 3AM + I find solitude in editing what I want to remember, challenging myself to do a voiceover, + going with the flow 📸 Find solitude in yourself + your craft. When you combine the two you will feel so grounded + human again 🌎🫂 #monocular #shortfilm #photographylovers #photographyreels #inspiredbynature #solitude #staypresent #filmedit #introvert
