"Accidental" shot, though I like the look of it! My old flickr account was deleted due to inactivity..well, here's to starting over!
Far too much social and cultural commentary is hypothetical and based on theory, bias, and fiction. Many pop musicians of all genres seem to search for expression of an identity they are searching for. "Maybe if I express this identity, that will be who I am." Many Christian musicians sing of theoretical joy they've never experienced, many punk/hardcore bands sing of ostracism they'd never experienced until they decided to express it, many rap artists sing of life and context of which they have no first hand knowledge.
It is terribly refreshing to hear an important message brought by someone whose story it actually is.
All of life is a Cinderella story. Far too many of us find our identity in the lamentable lie that the slipper doesn't fit. But it's a lie. There are enough glass slippers to go around and they are one-size-fits-all. We can all slip one on and stand up and walk.
I am so full of teenaged angst, I must mope around in dark colors and how dare you make me where light blue and be in a family photo, you have ruined my life!
Angsty self-portrait; stamp filter in photoshop, and arrangement of text on my hair and the side of my face. The text comes from two works by one of my favorite poets, e. e. cummings. Angst aside, I was in quite the loving mood when I created this, and the poems are very warm and thoughtful, whereas my face contrasts (literally, har har) with its "omg no1 und3rst4nds m3" expression. Whatever.

It would seem that something which means poverty, disorder and violence every single day should be avoided entirely, but the desire to beget children is a natural urge. ~Phyllis Diller
