Love is very tough for many reasons. You love your parents, your children, your animals. We work hard at these relationships because they mean a lot to us. We go as far as compromising, fighting, listening and going beyond ourselves to keep those relationships and let others kmow they are a priority to us. Yet it's funny, we don't always remember to keep the relationship with ourselves interesting and at the top of our list. Imagine if we took ourselves on a date, we talked a loud and listened to ourselves patiently then answered appropriately. Imagine if we made sure we had our own dates and treated ourselves with the same respect we showed others in our lives. I imagine that would would be one of insight, strength and self worth in amounts we have always wanted.

Photo taken by Caprice Laguna Hidalgo in Balboa Park Sometimes when I am all caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday problems and concerns I forget about all the past life cycles I have had and all the ones to come. It seems like in those times, instead of pedaling my heart out I rather and scooting Forward. Then when I take a little time to myself to reflect, to self monitor and redirect I start to pedal again. Then I start to pick up speed and then even stand up tall on my life bike and pump my heart out. In this times I must say that I feel renewed and over joyed with all the hard work I am doing just to feel the wind on my face. Life is a series of pedaling, scoots and pumps I need to remember to look forward to the wind on my face so it makes all the work easier also my the way.

I live to take in my surroundings and pour out my heart. My only hope is one day I can make a living at it, rather than a killing. Hey, I'm Caprice. I am a photographer, dreamer, database engineer and a woman. I am not perfect, nor do I want to be. I do not know everything, but I would love to. I am a human being, just like any other who is capable of doing anything she puts her mind to.
