I always have the urge to keep my mouth shut, to not be seen, to not be noticed. I'm working hard to overcome my insecurities, but this picture captures how I feel in a lot of social situations.
You leave your keys up front in exchange for these plastic cards with a hole punched in the side. These cards slide into the locker locks to free the key in the warding.
Guess how quick this got duplicated...
she's very insecure & when she's feeling particularly needy she'll situate herself in such a way that she's covered on all sides. in this case it was the closet door on one side, a bookcase in front of her, a large laundry bag behind her, and myself & the bedside table & tv tray on the near side. she turned her head toward the door because i was pointing the camera at her too long & she hates that.
It would seem the more weight I lose, the more self-loathing I can become. When is good enough *good enough*? I have finally found myself in a size 8 pant. Sure, for many it is a huge size - however, for me it is a huge accomplishment. I am proud to say, mostly, I am able to see myself as an ever evolving work of art; made more beautiful with the markings of age and motherhood. I must admit, though, sometimes Flickr can bring out my ugly ego's insecurities, as I compare myself to everyone but myself. There are some physically perfect photographers here. They are beautiful and talented. They are. YOU are. But I also understand, if *I* can't honestly see myself as an equal, no one else can.

The hands in the mirror show that only you can see these faults and only you have these insecurities, no-one else can see them.
Indecisive and Insecure. I hate taking self portraits, I narrowed it down to four shots which where 'okay' and forced my self to pick one after an hour of debate. I am the single most indecisive person on the planet I think most days. Even when I make up my mind, which can take months or years, I frequently change my mind afterwards and the whole process starts allllllll over. In the end I prefer the shot below, but this fit the theme better.
One thing I can decide on usually is clothes. There is a girly girl, biker chick, hippy, and tom boy all dwelling somewhere inside me and it tends to come out in my clothing. SO as far as what my clothing says, ummm, I guess it says confussed? Or that I have multiple personality disorder. My prerequisit for my clothes are that they have to be 'pretty' but totally functional. If I can't crawl under my car, chase my unruley dog in it, and go out, its not welcome in my wardrobe.

Young Somali refugees fill jerrycans with water at UNHCR's reception centre in Dollo Ado, Ethiopia. ; Worsening drought, and violence from armed extremist group al Shabaab, has caused more than 5,000 Somalis to seek refuge in Ethiopia so far this year – four times the number that crossed the border in 2018. The extremists have struck fear into the hearts of many and the climate emergency has fuelled a cycle of vulnerability for pastoralists and farmers. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, more than 2 million people are at risk of severe hunger as Somalia faces its worst harvest since the 2011 famine that internally displaced 1.5 million people. With al Shabaab extorting money, forcing residents to grow crops that fail and forcibly recruiting child soldiers, families increasingly have no choice but to flee.
