Friday, August 7th #dailysketchext: when I was a little girl I didn't know anything about clichés or why I should know better than them. I watched Disney movies and dreamt of a prince on a white horse coming to save me from myself. Fast forward to when I met my now husband. I think one of the very first things I told him is that I didn't want him to save me, that I didn't need no man to save me. Now, don't get me wrong, I still totally maintain that, but I can see now how the pendulum swung for me from "O Prince! Rescue me!" to "All of you stay away from me! I'm doing this myself!" and I can see now how neither one of them is really good because they are both extremes. When I was in my all-of-you-stay-away-from-me mode, I was not very humble and I made a lot of mistakes because of this (I'm thinking about a few of them I made in my photography career in particular). I also didn't let anyone in back then and that wasn't good either. It is just so much better to maintain a balance.
