London, I’m ready for you!

After spending a week in the hospital in July, I came to a realization that for the past two years… I have not been focusing on taking care of myself. Ever since the birth of our son, I’ve been on auto drive, constantly joggling between the many different roles and responsibilities I have in this lifetime. Because of the constant rapid motion, I forgot to take a moment and give myself the tender, love and care that I needed.

After a month of healing, I was looking forward to my long week getaway with the girls. When it was time to finally fly out from Philly to London, I was super anxious and excited to escape my reality. It was definitely a much needed escape from the series of events that occurred these past few months.

I also realized that I wanted to capture my youth so I asked my friend, Selene, to take some style photos of me while in London. She said yes, so I was very grateful that she was on board with it.

Oddly enough, I felt that this trip would be different from any other trips I’ve taken. Instead of sightseeing like a tourist, I decided I wanted to blend into the culture and environment. Enjoy it by being presence, rather than constantly on the move with my camera. I wanted to relax, go with the flow, and enjoy myself with the people around me. I suppose like a real vacation. Ha~!
