I’m writing this as I sit in a taxi on my way to a conference. My driver is a woman. This is a first for me! I can honestly say I have never had a female cab driver before. My initial instinct after telling her my destination is to take out my phone and snap a photo of her. Why? To post on Instagram of course.
I stopped myself.
“You aren’t on Instagram anymore.”
“Who are you posting that for?”
“Why does anyone care!?”
I admit I got caught up in the desire to photograph my life for others to see, that is, to photograph those things that I wanted people to see. Again I have to ask myself why? What does it prove? Why does anyone care that I’m awake this early on a Saturday attending a conference about the Eye? The better question is why I feel the need to tell people about it?
Deep thoughts for a Saturday morning.
I left my phone at home this morning and took Kieran to Breakfast with Santa at his school. It was nice to not be bugging him to smile and look at me and pose with Santa and his pancake, but rather just laugh and smile with him and enjoy that moment between us, not between me and the rest of the world.
That is wonderful!!
