Steemit Collaborations: Trouble in Paradise - by @things, @eyemapuppet and @sjennon

Trouble in paradise

While everything is going good, lately I have felt lost.
I am in a career I do not like.
I have a lot of financial problems
which are not letting me do what I really need to do
in order to break free completely from the issues that I have been facing.
I am scared, to go out there. I do not know where to begin.

I want to stand on my feet,
I want to finally do what I want.

I want to travel,
meet new people,
help a few lives,
tell stories of people
and places which deserve to be heard!

Backstory and credits

This is the second episode of Steemit Collaborations. These collaborations are meant to bring artists closer and allow them to get the attention they deserve. Interested in the first episode? Check it out here!

Just like the last episode, the text is by @things. She can write lightly, but can also dig deep inside her and get her inner writer out. This piece of text is written by her in this post. Please upvote if you liked it and follow her if you want to read more of her heartfelt work.

For awhile I have been following @eyemapuppet, a cool black-and-white Photographer with his iPhone. Hence, his photograph features in this lady. His pictures are cool and he always gets interesting perspectives on things that are super simple! For example, I love how he plays with the shadows of objects.

The photograph of the lady, is an open source image pulled from Pexels.

The payout will be evenly split through the three of us.

I had a lot of fun creating this. Also, these kind of collaborations gives Steemians the opportunity to help eachother out by their creativity. I am looking forward to do more of these. Are you a portrait photographer? A fiction writer? A painter? I would love to collaborate and bring it all together in one!
