The title is definitely lyrics from the song I Want it All by Queen.
I know it is a long shot to be planning all of this almost a year from now, but my intentions are real and I hope to get this growing into an event that will take place in the future. As I mentioned in a previous post, I am interested in traveling to Europe. Though I know nothing about Europe for that matter, this will be a great opportunity to learn about culture and geography all while planning an experience of a lifetime. I don’t want to come off as this for sure happening, as a lot can happen between now and then and I may not be able to afford to go, but with desire and God on my side, what can go wrong, right?
This isn’t necessarily a vacation, but more so a learning experience and an opportunity to experience different life and beauty and be able to capture it all with photography. My intentions after graduation are to become a professional photographer, whatever that means. I picked it up as a hobby in January of 2009 and have loved it since. The concept of photography is incredible and indescribable. While I don’t doubt job opportunities being available after graduation, this could definitely create huge potential for portfolio building.
Who knows what will happen between now and then, but for now I plan to learn all that I can in the opportunity that I do get to go. Ideally, being there by September would be incredible. With this plan set in motion, it will most likely mean that I would move back to Oklahoma before I went out of the country, reducing cost of living at all costs. But, anything can happen, and I’ll stick to trusting in the big man upstairs.
All-in-all, this may never happen. This isn’t thoughts of a quick idea that I might be interested, but more so a longing desire I’ve had for some time now. Of course it all depends on what God has in store for me. While I would like to take this seriously, I will stop on a dime if it is what God has planned for me that I do not do this and that I stay in the States. Perhaps this is a drive that is being led by him, or perhaps he’ll talk to me in a month or maybe wait a year and tell me that he wants me to do something different. Until then, I can only pray and see where this turns, and no matter where, for the best.
