Who am I now is such a deep question to try to answer don’t you think?

Who are we now outside of who we have been and who we want to be. To be in the now is a tricky thing to conquer, especially when we are on the subject of age and body.

But I’m going to share my thoughts with you –

– and in turn explain why I brought a crystal ball as my offering – when I think about this question in the capacity of my age, my body and my relationship to those two things.

I am 33 years old although I feel like time has lapsed me far longer, paradoxically most people would guess just from my face that there’s about a decade off that.

When I think about my relationship with my age (and use my crystal ball to look) in the past it has been a fear that I wouldn’t live all my years fulfilling all my desires.

Now I realise that time passes through and around us in different ways as you start to collect experiences and write your story.

Things don’t happen as you expect them to in some areas, and in others you excel in ways you never thought you had the nature for.

I’m sure that 10 year old me never gazed into her crystal ball and saw a future of being a Life Model.

At this point in my life I am learning to take the good with the bad, I am seeking balance and that place of solace within myself.

My body is something I am equally learning about as time goes by, my physical strengths and weaknesses, becoming more grateful for this temple of mine.

Tapping into the animal inside and listening to what it needs, feeding it better, resting it more and pushing it further.

Even to have had this experience of taking photographs nude, outside was wild and liberating.

It’s a new and exciting journey and I’m curious to see what I will become, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
