Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
Sometimes we feel confused.. All mixed up. We don't know what to feel or how to feel. When so much is going on around you doesn't make sense.. Sometimes you don't know how to react.. or feel about anything. But stay strong.. It'll all be okay.
Sometimes we feel hopeless, like nothing is going to be okay. But the fact that you're still alive (even if at that moment you feel that you don't want to be).. shows you how strong you are. You can do this.
You don't realize how strong you really are, until getting thru this is the only choice you have... and this will make you stronger. This will make you a fighter.
You are amazing & you can do this. No matter how bad you feel.. no matter how hopeless it all seems.. it will ALL BE OKAY, I can assure you that!
I remember feeling like, "this is it". And, just laying there hysterically crying, wishing God would just end my suffering.. or something would. Wishing myself away. And God obviously wasn't having it. He wasn't going to deal with my pitty party. He told me to get up. He showed me that I'm still here and breathing.. And gave me strength..
...& Once I reached the other side.. I was stronger than ever. And had a better view on things. Even if they didn't make sense, and still don't make 100% sense.. I understand now, that those things had to happen... for me to grow.
& I do thank God for having his hand on my shoulder the whole time... and not letting me "go" or taking me when I begged him to take me. I thank him now for making me push thru & making me who I am today.
I know I couldn't have done any of this without him.
& I thank him so much for all of it.
Thank you God.
Amen.
I just started a new album "Recovery from Drugs". I will add more photos to it later. Also see, "SPEAKING THRU PHOTOGRAPHS" * my blog*
I have to be transparent with my truths.. if I'm going to help anyone to seek recovery.. or not lose 100% faith.

The saddest part of unrequited love is that despite the fact that your mind knows that you can't get what you desire but your heart silently keeps praying for that one person who is your last thought every night and your first memory every morning. The worst part is that your mind keeps telling you to move on and your heart keeps holding on to that one dream that is never going to come true. The more your mind tries to forget about him.....the more your heart keeps loving him... ~Aarti Khurana~
Thank you 500px.com/heinzhagenbucher for taking this portrait.
I'm really struggling lately with cabin fever due to long winter and cold weather and I feel like I'm losing interest in my photography. Maybe I should take a break or maybe I should keep pushing forward.
I feel like my work isn't good enough, I don't know if I'm even taking pictures for myself or am I just doing it for attention or validation from others? I compare my work to others a lot which I know isn't a healthy thing to do.
I watch and read lots of content about photography on what you should and shouldn't do and every time I do I feel discouraged, not inspired because these articles or videos just tend to make me feel like I failed and that I should give up because I'm not good as them.
I realize that not all my photos are going to be good, I take a lot of bad photos and sometimes I manage to take some good photos time to time but social media constantly makes me feel pressured to share and it puts pressure on me to try and take the best possible photos I can and when I do try and they don't get the love I expected them to, I get quite sad.
The photos I take are all over the place, I don't have a consistent style or "look" to my photos. I don't have a color palate I stick to, I don't have a theme in my photos, my photos don't really tell much a story besides just me sharing random crap that's around me.
Where do I go from here?
Those of you who know me, know how many chances I give to ppl before I walk away.
I had to give up on someone.
I was...am...tired of their gaslighting.
It is scary to feel like YOU did something wrong, especially when your logical side tells you, no... You didn't.
I hate feeling like this. I hate losing ppl.
But I need to stop blaming myself, and get away.
I know, I know... I skipped so many days already. I haven't taken a photo today nor yesterday...
I'm depressed. ):
I don't like my school. Almost everybody there is cruel, fake and I'm just invisible. I'm so afraid that I'll move on by myself, without anyone beside me. I'm afraid of growing up alone.
But I don't want to care anymore.
I don't like my own house. Everybody here is just so ignorant and they won't care about my problems. Are all adults like this?
I want to give up.

This was the point where she finally gave up on being able to swallow such a big meal. I really felt sorry for her, all that work and still no food.

No matter what I do or who I am it's always like that
Of course you would know the feeling; that feeling, of trying so hard and realizing that no matter how hard you try, you'll never be good enough compared to some other people.
Because sometimes it's not just about trying. Trying won't get you the results, not all the time. People always tell you how giving up easily equates to weakness and a lack of commitment, but there's a huge difference between learning to move on to something else and remaining stuck to the same issue for a long time without any progress.
So if you feel like you've tried for a really long time and there is absolutely nothing else you can do about it.. let go. It doesn't matter who disapproves, or who tells you to keep going on; if you've already given up, in your heart, anything that anyone says will not change a thing. There could be so much better things out there waiting for you, but you'll never know unless you move on to them. Give it a shot, because what you have now, or what you're trying to get now, may not be the thing that really is the best for you.
On my way home after work yesterday morning, I felt pretty tired.
Met this fella and his owner and I realized this huge furball was probably more tired than me...
Since I just uploaded the one picture of David with the feathers floating around, I wanted to do something different with this theme. It turned into a very dark concept but I definitely think succeeded making something different from the photo with David.
I could of probably done better with this photo but it was a busy week. Did this around 1am last night and just got done editing it today. I like that this project forces me to take pictures even on my busy weeks, since I'm so set on completing this project without missing anything. I find that a lot of my picture require me to make fake blood in my kitchen alone past midnight xD.
It didn't turn out exactly as I wanted, but I couldn't do it better: the only wall I could use what this one from my bedroom, which is 5m2 small. I was literally crushed between the table (which I had to move) and the wall. Also, there was not enough light and I had to set a high ISO so it looks grainy :( At the beginning I had in mind only the main one, but the series developed without pretending it. So here it is.
I hope I won't really finish jumping from the window, although sometimes I feel like doing it. Only one week for the entrance exams, the last effort, and I am aware of how little I'm studying. But I don't have strength to do more. I feel like a car which has been run out of gas ten metres before getting to the station.

this picture represents the demons that weigh me down. the anger that sucks the will to live out of me.
The final photo in the series "The Mind's Journey." This series was about mental health illnesses and the journey that one may experience in dealing with their mental health issue. This is very personal to me and I wanted to show people what it was like to experience these emotions and feelings. This is the story of the spiraling descent of giving into the mental illness, and for me this is my depression.

It's been some fun downs and downs over the years. Since you're locking my uploads now all I have left to say is: Goodbye, Flickr.
Oh, and an entirely uninvited suggestion: When you're trying to push people into paying for a service (which is entirely fair) you should do it by offering something new. If you just say "pay or we take this thing you had for free away", people are going to wonder whether they really need the thing... *shrug*

It's been a hectic week and I owe each one of you a visit. I've been busy with the final arrangements with my moving to another city. Farewell and welcoming feeling at the same time. Feeling just like Lola, desperately needing a short break!
I feel like letting go
there would be so many good reasons,
Not even you could blame me.
But I know
We don't really have a choice, do we?
Giving up is a luxury we can't afford
So we'll keep on going
straight towards nowhere
I wish I'd managed to get all of my feet and the other hand in the frame. But after 50-something attempts in the heat I gave up and settled for this one.

Socialising requires a keyboard. 'Talking' takes place within the confines of four lines, speech in a bubble, no thought required. '...is writing a response'. Back and forth, hours on end. In jokes, winking face. Cutesty line, sweet smile. Bitchy retort, angry mouth. When they said that smiling only required three muscles, I'm not sure they meant ones in your fingertips, hovering above the keyboard, ready. This crazy, online media-fuelled world has removed the necessity to ever show true emotion, which, as a photographer and an "actress", I thrive on, finding it, capturing it, replicating it, portraying it.. I miss it, in all honesty. To be told, 'oh yeah, I heard that on facebook.' 'Oh! That's totally going on facebook!' 'Hey, your facebook pictures are cute!' is slightly unnerving, that this one social network can hold so much information on us, know so much about us, consume our everyday lives.. I can easily get home at five, with the intention of working until I'm done, and glance at the clock at 10pm, having done nothing productive. I anger myself when I allow five hours of a night to slip away into the social abyss that is social networking. Don't get me wrong, I'm not pointing the finger or condemning anyone else, I'm angry at myself. I'm a big offender for it, so something needs to change. I've got A levels to care about, better things to do. Which is why I'm giving up my facebook for this week, and then seeing how I feel about it after that.
I'm not giving up flickr though, I love this too much.
I was at work on sunday and the marina and the diamonds song came on shuffle. I didn't realise until today quite how appropriate it is right now! I need to finish work and go to sleep before midnight every night again, so it'll do me good.
also! I didn't realise about the smudge on my window until I'd finished !
Woop! I edited this while eating my breakfast, hahaa. I also just got around to printing and sorting my print giveaway winners, sorry for the delay guys! I'm off down the the corner shop in a bit to see if the crazy guy will sell me international stamps. Yay!
Have a lovely daaaaay!!
There's another one in comments : )
Now that is a look of longing.

Everything just keeps crashing further and further down. Will anything ever be better? Because at this point in time, I don't think anything ever will be. I'm done, and giving up.
Random Fact : More than 90% of people are no longer friends with somebody that they once called their best friend.
10/15/08 - I moved my bed out and cleaned and decided my windows deserved a little photoshoot. The title is pretty self-explanatory. I'm thinking it can only look up from here.
think << do it!

Here goes another one of my never ending rants! For give me if im a downer?(: Soooooo, let me paint a picture for you... ive got midterms next week and my grades have not exactly perfect in the past 2 months.. i mean.. its my first year of high school and probably the worst grades ive gotten ever. they gotten better since november, but still bad. xPP so, whenever i feel frustrated, hopeless, or pressured, i go back to optimism. My grades are bad now, but i have improved them! Next marking period im going to kick ass(: the glass if half full. For some reason, the little things help calm the whole situation. Kind of like how the details make up the photo(: but back to the point, if you let such a little thing in life like midterms, a broken relationship, getting bullied or even a passing of a relative make you break down, you just have to remember, optimism. if you think that its the end of the world and you will never result in anything in life, that glass if going to be dripping water on the floor. if you think things will get better, it will get better. the glass is half full or half empty? whatever you do, dont let that glass tip over.

Trying to give up smoking, like any addiction it can be a struggle. Partly physical, partly mental; it takes a certain strength of character.

I took this shot on one of the days when I felt like quitting my 365 but then came up with another shot later in the day, one of those quick last minute, end of the day shots.
I think we all come to places in life when we feel like quitting and just giving up because we’re tired and feel like we have nothing to give anymore. Those are tough places and it’s hard not to drown in them and feel like there is no way out. For me, in those places I have to choose to look outside of the situation and not get overwhelmed by it. And to realize that often times the start of a new day brings a different outlook.
