We all have a gate.
That thing that holds us back.
That thing we generally find comfort hiding behind or are too scared or weary to break through.
Our gate.
I have plenty of gates in my life: not wanting to draw too much attention to myself, having an awkward shy-not-always-shy personality, my lack of appreciation for personal communication. Some of us have a gate, many more have gates.
Now, before you think this is a crazy, emo post I say to thee halt (who doesn’t like some random Shakespeare now and then?).
I have a very strange attachment to my gates in the sense that, although some of it holds me back, I love that they challenge me to step out and break through them. Elevate into the light, if you will.
Gates. Cages. Containment. I dig you for your not always necessary security but more for the opportunity to break through and elevate to something more.
Love your cage, dig your containment but trust yourself to elevate beyond that.

I had such a fun time missioning with Abo from @abo_explores. There is nothing like a spontaneous photography adventure with friends. Thanks for the steller images; edits my own.
