A Pisces Was Born
happy birthday to me!
I have finally hit the big 3-0 in this life journey of mine. Do I feel different? Yes and no maybe? Yes, because it’s a significant number and no because I know my life will continue on as I choose to live it. Nonetheless I am grateful. I take birthdays seriously or see them as importance because it’s a gift to reach another year or life, another solar trip around the sun. That is something to never be taken for granted. As I reflect on my years, I can probably list “major things I’ve learned” or “important things about me", but instead I’d rather just set my wishes for my future. I won’t list them all here because I’d rather keep them private ;) but I can definitely share this shoot, the symbolism behind it, and why I chose this concept as my birthday shoot.
It’s not secret that I am a Pisces; woman of water. I definitely take pride in it and if you know me, you know I talk about it often. I am the epitome of a Pisces; emotional, empathetic, creative, head in the clouds, dreamer, all of that! I’ve loved the water ever since I was little and always loved to swim (to this day I want a pool with my house). This shoot was actually a last minute concept that came to life and thinking back on it now, I see why it came so last minute but also made so much sense.
Hitting a new decade/chapter in my life brings meaning of rebirth in my opinion. I’m unraveling in a new beginning. Something about the water of the ocean and it running through me brings a cleansing feeling, the washing away of things that no longer serve me, and bringing forth a new fresh start. This woman of water is cleansing and rebirthing into a new chapter, this woman of water is starting another decade of life in a place where she feels the best; water. This woman of water is finding solace in the very waters of which make her.
Pisces, woman of water; she is the heart of the universe, deep like the ocean and her soul has depth like no other. Always searching for a deeper purpose, she is pure oceanic magic.
Cheers to 30 years!
love always, Karina.
