Seemingly Stuck
A little butterfly, seemingly stuck under some twigs and hay, struggling to get out. I get how you feel.
You are not truly stuck, no one is holding you down and keeping you in a prison, yet you feel like you can't get out and panic.
You look at the obstacles you face and make then out to be bigger and harder to get over than they really are.
It's not always the easy way out or the most obvious one, you might need to take a little detour to get to where you want to, but you can get there.
You can get out from under there, because you are the only one who is really holding you back.
Shot with the Nikon D7200 and Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8.
We are all on the same path there may be small forks, a detour like you said, from where were all going but eventually you can follow the trail back. Life has a funny way of showing you what you need to do sometimes to get out of a rut but we are scared. Maybe were scared of being blatantly shown the path but you are completely right! We are all our own obstacles, our goals dreams we may blame not doing them on others but its our own INHIBITION that we need to smash through, ignore others, do what makes you feel good, live peacefully, help othersand remember to wear the glasses of truth that reveal that our huge walls that are infront of us are only as big as we want them to be! damn. You just made me say all that from a your picture damn your good, ever thought about art-psycho-therapy????
Oh wow, this is really causing some thought and conversation, fantastic! I guess I should do more of these, as I have a lot of little ideas that have a picture and a few somewhat incoherent thoughts attached to each other.
I remember so many times where I was standing in front of an open door, someone holding it open for me, and me being so damn scared that I ran the other way. But I don't regret those times, because I wasn't ready then, and I needed more time to grow a pair.
This is my therapy, should I apply it to others too? People should be scared if I started to offer my services to others...
I think just these pictures may be enough - not too much to read ( people here have annoyingly low attention spans ) but not too little, enough to cause a few old neutrons to clonk together ahahaha and yes!! You’ve hit it spot on - when the door is forced open by us we obviously made it happen so there’s no shock but when it’s held open for us then it’s a little bit more of a surprise and not being ready is a massive killer but remember an open door that you didn’t walk through is still a door it may be locked but that’s it! You can still unlock a locked door it’ll take time but that’s the joys of life I suppose :)
This is what I would most like to do, a few pictures and some thought that are not fully developed. I don't want to write articles, I'd much rather have a conversation about the topic with you guys. Give more freedom to the reader to tell what pops into their head about it.
I think we need to really work for what we want, because then we are taking to right steps and learn so much more, instead of having someone hand to you what you want and you not knowing what to do with it.
Literally exactly this and seriously id love to see more of these!! This is why I love this platform because it’s kinda still small I can still be inspired by someone I’ve never met in my life because your not buried under stupid worthless stuff like on YouTube or something massive kudos eve
The engagement in here is so different from any other social platform. Where else can you approach a "successful" person you don't know, and really start a conversation. Of course there are a lot of those who don't care about the comments, but majority of the people in here, I feel like, are here because of the genuine conversations. It's been quite dead for the past weeks in here, and the engagement has been minimal. So I'm always happy when someone comes up to strike a good conversation and liven up the place a little! Glad to make your acquaintance Bostock (if that is your name?) :)
it’s my surname but everyone calls me it (my first name is Harold lol) and I could not agree with you more like take @theneedledrop I’m an all time fan of his and I commented on one of his posts (one of my first ever comments) and actually got a reply I WAS SO EXCITED, the potential for networking and actual proper conversations with brilliant people like yourself is what made me stay in the early days it’s tough at the beginning I’ll give everyone that but exactly like you said the chance you might get a reply is I’d bet 1000x greater of a chat with your favourite people!! (Which now your added to that list ;)
It’s a shame about engagement on here people are silly sometimes and it’s the ones that don’t reply, don’t engage and drop out when the price drops that are revealed for the wimps and fakes that they are - conversations like this are what I live for steem can be a lonely slightly dark place (sometimes) and im glad I get to add your light to my little corner and to genuinely like what your doing and your background and everything like that! The upvotes and that come secondly to me but what other platform rewards for engagement like this one huh hehehe glad I discovered you eve if your ever in England let us know we’ll go meet the queen or something
I'm not gonna lie and say that I don't care about the money, this is after all my only income at the moment, but I think the money goes hand in hand with the engagement.
Well aren't you a sweetheart Harold, making me feel all special and shit! Wouldn't that be a great tea party, us and the queen! Definitely gonna pop by to UK before the end of this year.
Good morning @eveuncovered and happy new week. I can't tell how much this has motivate me this morning, perfect picture illustration! Well, I'm pretty certain that my excuses are my own devises and I could avert them by my own self. Thanks for motivating me once again. Have a blessed day ♡
I'm glad to hear that my post raised some ideas in your head as you could see some of yourself in the butterfly. Have a great day!
Thanks and you too ♡
Very good!
Thanks!
Wow, @eveuncovered the pictures are so much motivating! How did you get it in such a way? Anyway, what I learnt from it is that Like the butterfly, we can all fly and when seemingly stuck, we can all get out. It all lies in the power of self. Nice one dear
The opportunity presented itself, I saw a butterfly and I had my camera on hand, and immediately the words "seemingly stuck" popped into my head :)
I upvote you please return back
We are our true enemy, we have the power to be free or be slave of our own thoughts!
We must Fly!!
I'm glad you were only seemingly stuck, and were able to break free from your cocoon and blossom. You have great blossoms.
Wise words there could not agree more. The picture is so fitting nicely one we all need to spread our wings and develop ourselves to create a better version 💯🐒
