~:[CH10 - Day 311]:~  Head & Heart in the Clouds

It's great when you see someone around you succeed, but tougher to see them struggle. You want to help them, but sometimes you really don't know what you can do. Sometimes you can send them comforting messages, lend them an ear, or just check in on them from time to time. However, seeing someone come from the dark depths of life, fighting their demons, it's incredible to see them reach a point where their heads are in the clouds. With ever moment I captured this evening, a piece of my heart was fulfilled seeing Jae overcoming his struggles and just being himself. He chatted as himself, he sang as himself, and he bounced around (a lot) like himself and that is what lifted my heart to the clouds. Life is definitely going to have its struggles from time to time, but then there are those defining moments that lift you higher than you have ever been before. As while it's never easy to hit rock bottom, when you overcome those moments, you find something even greater than you have before. I tried focusing on capture the photos and avoid getting too caught up in the moment, but seeing him break free of the chains that had been holding back was something that just sent me to new heights. In the end, I captured many of these priceless moments, but there is no picture that can capture the feeling of the night, not only touching those who knew him, but those who were first introduced to him. Life is definitely a roller coaster of highs and lows, but at some point in your life, you'll find that moment where you head and heart are in the clouds.
