A strange week, this. First half: very happy, very optimistic. Much of this seems to have drained away the past 36 hours. Maybe this gift will help, though, ultimately, it too will be drained away!
تالين .. ماشاء الله ..
سنكون أكثر سعادة حين نكون
أكثر براءة وعفوية في التعبير عن مشاعرنا ، لأنفسنا ، ولمن حولنا ،
ولمن نعرف، ولمن لا نعرف .
التعبير عن المشاعر ليس بوحاً بأسرار نووية !
سنكون أكثر سعادة حين نتخلى عن كبريائنا وتعاظمنا ,
ونتواضع ونستمع إلى حديث النفس
واحتجاجها على تجاهلنا لضرورتها ومتطلباتها !

I am actually working on moving some of my older and new urban photos onto my real-person website. Keep an eye out!

Overwhelmed with school and missing my newfound creative outlet already. I look at my calendar and feel a combination of awe (I've never been so organized in my life) and frustration (I've never been so busy in my life).
I've obviously taken on too much, but there's nothing I can do about it now. I just have to be optimistic, power through and learn how to do it better next time.
I've never really considered myself a creative person, but really, I hadn't really found an outlet. Writing has been my main outlet for most of my life, but I find myself driven to photograph now, as well as writing/journaling. I don't write in my physical journal as much, but I do write a lot (as you can see now). My point though, is after having a month and a half to find this new creative outlet, and using it pretty much every day, being consumed with it, I'm not so happy about having it taken away. Especially by classes that I see as a waste of my time (not all, but most of them).
Not to mention that I've been super critical of the few photos I have taken lately, and haven't posted some of them.
The result is feeling tired and frustrated.
In addition to that (yes, I'm complaining more), Joey is just as busy with his job and his bands. He's been amazingly wonderful and supportive, but I really miss seeing him as much as I used to. Yeah, we live together, but it's sad to me when our 'quality time' is the 20 minutes before sleep, and the 20 minutes we see each other in the morning before he's off to prep for whatever he's teaching that day. In the evenings, I have work or class, and he has rehearsal with his various musical projects. He's my best friend and I really just like having him around. He's just crazy enough to make me laugh when I'm in the sourest of moods.
So this is me now. Slightly unhappy, very overwhelmed, and trying my best to be optimistic.

בלי קומפוזיציה משהו ובלי בטיח, אבל לרגע כשעמדתי ברמזור ותפסתי את שני הסטיקרים האלו בסמיכות, הוצאתי את המצלמה ובלי לחשוב פעמיים (בעיקר בגלל שהרמזור תכף התחלף לירוק) צילמתי
