I've tried this edit before a while ago, but it didn't work out as well as this one, so I'm glad I decided to try it again. I've done this edit particulary because I do try to keep my eyes open to moments occurring round the world, shocking or beautiful; the world interests me greatly, and I think this one image represents that.
I sometimes have moments when I hate the human race for destroying our planet, and feel devasted by news of the tsunami in Japan and the war ongoing in Libya for example. I know I can't do anything about it, but it makes me feel so guilty just watching the news knowing I can't do anything to help. But by God I want to help. Want to make this a better place to live in. Step by step I believe we can make change for better.
But then I have moments when I realise how beautiful this planet really is, and don't understand how people can't see it. I don't think I could keep living the way I do, when there is so much to see; so many beautiful eye popping moments occurring every day places around the world. As soon as I finish university I plan on working full time for a year then going on a mega expedition round the world with my boyfriend Tim. There's so much I crave to experience, so many life changing moments out there waiting to be experienced.
I have always been interested in animal safari programmes and programmes about our planet, and always imagined myself as a National Geographic photographer. That would be the dream job right? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I don't have enough patience. I even looked at job opportunities online for both the National Geographic and Lonely Planet, but none were available. Who knows where I'm gonna be in 10 years. I know where I'd like to be though. Somewhere abroad helping orphaned animals or orphaned kids. I want to do my little bit. I think that's the best thing I could actually do right now.
This human planet is a beautiful planet but also a devastating one, and I believe we need to embrace it in the best way we can.
