Shattered,

​

That's the only accurate way to describe myself at the beginning of this journey.

A college student with no real life experience, a strong anger problem and an outdated phone that could barely take a photo. I took a chance and fled to Europe for a life changing experience. 

 

Well...

​

I got more than I bargained for. I self sabotaged myself and fell into drinking. More defeated than ever, I returned home with a single image in my head, The beauty of Lake Ohrid.

When I made it home, people looked at the photos I took, not with envy, but pure joy. I was in shock, people actually liked something that I did. That was a first. So I bought my first camera and got to work.
