As I’ve said before, this blog isn’t just about photography—it’s my creative outlet to talk about the stuff I care about. And this week, I want to talk about the best damn show no one’s watching (but everyone should be): Shrinking.

Last week I missed my Wednesday blog post. And the frustrating part is, I already had it written. It was sitting there, basically ready to go. All I had to do was hit publish. But I didn’t. I don’t even have a good excuse for it. I just didn’t. And that small failure kicked off a whole mental spiral.

It’s wild how something that minor, something no one else even noticed, can send me into a tailspin of self-talk that’s anything but helpful. Because when it comes to self-talk, I’ve never been the kindest to myself. I’ve been trying to change that, but when your default setting is to zero in on every shortcoming, it’s hard.
