Once upon a time I veeeeeeery lightly dabbled in making my posts look pretty but alas, any knowledge I had is long gone :D
If yall have any tips, resources, or can point me in a direction of where a gal can learn something I would be most grateful <3

@borealis: oooh i soooo feel you on the overwhelm. I've only done portrait shoots for friends & family. I tend to do things more candid & loose and try to capture natural emotion as best I can because posing is the worst!?!?!??! I also love flowers! I do a lot of macro nature shots. I want to sell my work as art for home decor in an ideal world - I like to think my work is aesthetic af, lol. But again...confidence is a huge struggle for me.

I'm still stuck on getting clients - I'm ..... not the best when it comes to people and social interaction IRL.
Vent: Emotionally Charged Rant

Today was a really tough day - emotionally.
One of the maaany roots of my issues have to do with self-respect which I severely lack - and also realizing how this has affected the relationships with my friends - whom I also feel don't really respect me either. I know it's more complicated than this but it's an overwhelming process and I know not everyday is going to be like this and it's going to get better - it's just a rough day. I need to seek out therapy again but the thought of having to pay to grieve and cry these emotions out is not something I can afford to do.
I'm unemployed and have been since the beginning of the pandemic. I'm trying to start a photography business but my severe lack of self-esteem and confidence really hinders me - I constantly bully and belittle myself and feel as if I'm not receiving any actual support from my friends despite my attempted efforts at communicating with them. *siiiigh*

@rei ann: aww yes we've met already ^^ Need to take the time to go through and see what commons I want : O

@borealis: Photography! I've been going through a LOT of personal issues and have just kind of fallen out of sync with pursuing it further and now that I'm trying to get back on my feet the overwhelm is kicking in.
