Something for Me

Over Spring Break I fell in love with my mom's 50mm Canon camera lens. Many of the afternoons you could find me by the window snapping away pictures of a steaming cup of tea or a vase full of flowers.

Once I returned back to school, I realized how much I missed the lens. So I broke down, gave in, and bought myself my very own 50mm camera lens.

Pure joy. I was like a kid on a Christmas day when I received the package in the mail. Now most nights you can find me in my room taking pictures of all sorts of things: steaming tea, eye glasses, hand written letters, and me (yes, even me).

I could have saved my money; could have bought a text book or two for the fall semester. But I didn't. Instead I did something for me (which I don't do often).

Sometimes you have to give in.
Sometimes you have to treat yourself.
Why? Because you deserve it.
