On Abstract Photography and Being a Critical Thinker

It’s really important to me to listen to my inner voice and evaluate things for myself because I’m naturally curious and skeptical. I cherish doing my own thing and making my own judgments, which is why I create abstract photography that has its own look and feel.
There have been a lot of moments in my life where I see events unfolding in front of me and it seems like they happen because people don’t think about or comprehend what they feel, think, or do beyond a superficial level. I delight in looking deeply within myself and understanding how my emotions and thoughts lead to my actions.
I approach life open-mindedly and authentically, looking at the world around me and being true to myself. It’s been a great journey so far. What are your thoughts about being a critical thinker?
