A World From Above

Sometimes a new perspective is what we need to get us re-inspired in our passions.

A World From Above
Nicole Wheat Photography

In our world, it is so simple to lose inspiration. We are so consumed with technology, social media, branding, advertisements and so much more, that it can be easy to forget how to be ardent in our passions, and forget to visit what inspires us in the first place.

Recently, I have been seeing so much hate, crime, disasters and foul words and energy, which makes it hard to see the beauty that is all around. That is one of the main reasons why my favorite thing in this world is to take trips out to the middle of nature and disconnect with media. This way I can reconnect with my relationship, the Earth and myself without any negative distractions or energy.

The sights we see daily can leave us feeling as if it is all something that has already been done.

But, sometimes all it takes is a little nudge to get re-inspired in your passions, to see things from a new perspective (at times quite literally).

A couple weeks ago, I took my first flight with my boyfriend in one of his planes. He flew us out to Havasu in a small Cessna.

The flight took about two hours in each direction, and – for the first time in a while – I felt newly inspired in my passions for photography, in a way that does not present itself often enough.

The Earth and the beauty of nature and this universe have always been such a great inspiration to me in my art and career. This trip proved no different.

Looking out of the windows of his plane, for the first time, I was actually seeing the Earth in a way I never really had the chance to before. (Sure, I had taken commercial flights before, but nothing compares to the views you get from the windows in that 172.)

The views were incredible; something I will never forget and will strive to see as often as I can.

Sometimes a new perspective is what we need to get us re-inspired in our passions.

Go out into nature and explore.

So cheers to the next adventure: travel bold and fly high.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
