Stories with Tori

I have those Pinterest boards too...

You know.

The one that’s labeled “my future husband”

The one that’s labeled “for my future house”

The one that’s labeled “wedding”

The one that’s labeled “bachelorette party 🥳🍾🤪”

The one that’s labeled “someday when I’m a mom” (or as I now call it “tini toris”)

.

All the ones I have yet to use, the ones I keep adding to without being able to utilize.

Never realizing it, I was allowing these Pinterest boards, these things that are “supposed” to happen, dictate my life.

I was SO impatient. I used to give myself very strict deadlines.

“Okay, seriously, by THIS time NEXT YEAR, I will at LEAST be dating someone!!!”

“Okay, for REALLLLY, I am GOING to HAVE to start having kids before I’m 27!”

.

All those years have come and gone, and the only thing that deadline left me with was heartache and pain I’d unknowingly inflicted on myself.

.

Wasn’t I enough?

Friends, I still have those Pinterest boards.

But I don’t have the strict deadlines anymore.

.

You know why?

.

Because I stopped waiting.

I stopped waiting on all these “normal” events to take place,

and I realized their “value” is relative

.

honestly, that’s why I did a boudoir shoot.

I didn’t wait to do it until I had someone to do it for

I didn’t do it for anyone but myself.

honestly, that’s why I BECAME a boudoir photographer.

I want the same thing for YOU.

This feeling of empowerment is already there.

You already have it.

You just need someone who knows how to bring it to light.

 

 So. What are you waiting for?
