I took this photo about four years ago during a Sunday morning in Baltimore. I still cherish the calmness of those morning walks and stumbling upon lighting like this. Baltimore, MD 21’ #Baltimore #StreetPhotography #RicohGR #Photography #photohour #BlueSky

Somewhere between who I was and who I’m becoming. Life keeps moving around me, but for once I’m not rushing to keep up. I’m learning to stand still long enough to choose what and who, gets to come with me.

Sometimes you’re not missing the person, the place, or the old version of your life, you’re missing who you were when you still believed something good was about to happen.

I’ve started to realize that happiness, at least for me right now, lives in three places: with my family, in the freedom to explore and stay active, and in the quiet moments where I sit with myself and learn who I am. Everything else feels temporary. Those three things feel like home.

Monaco had everything: crashes, safety cars, penalties, heartbreak, and confusion. The only thing missing was a race. At some point the FIA needs to decide on not making this track a race every year and more like every 5 years. 🏎️

Fink never misses, somehow his music always lines up with whatever I’m going through, like he understands the season of life I’m in. Really looking forward to the new album. 🎧🎶

We treat time like it’s something we spend, but maybe its more like time spends us. Every moment that passes is shaping us whether we’re intentional or not. Doing nothing is still a decision with a cost. The real question isn’t “how do I use my time,” but “what is my time turning me into?”

Trying my best to not get too excited about the pre-testing results from Ferrari…. I think we might be back. 🤣😂🤣 🏎️

I have about over 300+ photographs that I need to review and edit. Y’all won’t be seeing these for about 2 weeks.

I always kind of knew this, but the past few months made it crystal clear: ppl love to call on you when it’s convenient for them. When they’re down bad, or need something, I’m the one they lean on, giving support in ways even their closest ones don’t. But those same ppl disappear the moment …

I’m struggling or trying to find my way. And what hurts the most isn’t the silence it’s realizing how quickly people forget the hand that held them together. It’s crazy how I can pour into everyone else, but when it’s my turn to need something, suddenly no one knows how to show up.

After a long, frustrating three month battle with the MVA and all their shenanigans, I finally walked out with my title and registration complete.

Start making promises for yourself, not for other people. Your life moves differently when the commitments you make are rooted in who you are, not in who others want you to be.

Now the question is what will McLaren have Oscar do in Abu Dhabi ? McLaren needs to go all in on Lando to insure that Max doesn’t place 1st. I’m hoping in the debrief room a decision is made. #F1 #QatarGP
