My name is Savannah Jaye.

I'm a photo student at Savannah College of Art and Design.
I have a passion for people and their stories.
I'm a writer, photographer, and wanderer, but I'm not sure in which order.
I'm living my dream and interning for TWLOHA this spring.

What you read on this blog are my thoughts and my words, and are in no way endorsed or sponsored by TWLOHA.

I'm not there yet, but I'm past the start.

 

These mountains are in my blood.

I climbed to the top of the world today, but it wasn’t high enough.

As I stood there I paused, the winds howled and the leaves trembled, but it wasn’t strong enough. Then I sat down, gazing up and observing the trees that separated myself from the heavens, but they didn’t hide me. I watched the water pass below, rippling and roaring, but it wouldn’t carry me away. I looked down upon the crunchy, fallen leaves, wondering if there was any more life to be found there than in my own dry and weary soul.

It seemed that as I looked to the left and to the right, there was no escape. For as far as the eye could see, I was still alone. One part humbled by nature and my own humanity, one part painfully aware of everywhere I wasn’t.

These mountains are in my blood. This wind is carried in my hair. The trees make up my own limbs. The water runs along, matching the ebb and flow of daily life. But this nature isn’t my home either, so I’ll continue to wander on.
