Fragility

No photo tonight. I thought that I would post a music link by City and Colour instead.


I'm feeling very fragile lately. Sensitive and fragile. The strong winds of Kansas could blow me away. My life is passing by, and sometimes I get discouraged. I know that I have to keep trying, though. Even though I fail, I have to get back up. I have to do it for the ones who truly believe in me. I have to do it for the unspoken inspirations in my life, for those whom I love so dearly, for those who lead me to better days.


And, I have to do it for myself. To prove that I am stronger than what they give me credit for. Every time I fall down; every time someone hurts me...God, give me strength to turn the pain into good <3


City and Colour, everyone :)

Living in a World of Abandonment



We all feel alone sometimes.


I keep thinking about certain aspects of my life right now. It's weird, but sometimes I wonder if the people closest to me even care or want to care about my life, or getting to know me. So many of my "friends" haven't even seen my photography...or cared to ask about it.
I guess it's different for some people. I've always had a love for people in general, that is why I've turned to Portraiture with such passion. I try to get to know all my friends and keep in touch with them constantly, learning their passions, knowledge, pet peeves, everything.
I suppose I give out too much to expect in return. Strange.
Those who do care though...they mean so much to me. Abandonment. That's how I feel when I do not think of these people; the ones who support me and love me no matter what.
We are not like things of this earth; the abandoned couch in the middle of the woods, the poor puppy dropped off in the middle of a country road, the toy doll who you grew up with. We are cherished and loved by the one who created us. We Are Not Alone.
I try very hard to remind myself of this in hard times. It helps me through <3 It is tough to live in a world that seems very uncaring. The ones who do care, though, make it all worth while.


Thank you. Thank you to all those who care. Maybe someday, the world will care. Living in a world of abandonment will cease.

Growing Up...

I had to be there for my little sister last night…she fell and gashed her forehead and it was bleeding. I kind of  freaked out but I tried really hard to hide it because she was so scared and she kept whimpering. I had to hold a washcloth to her forehead and ended up getting blood on me. I’m so squeamish…I felt so helpless and weak.
Times like these…make me feel so small. I called my mom and she was home in ten minutes. I was praying the whole time. It wasn’t even that big of a deal; my sister will be alright (maybe a few stitches). But, it just makes me wonder if I’m ready for this adult stuff…I held my ground and didn’t cry or get sick…until after my mom took her away to the minor emergency room. Then, I hid in my closet and bawled my eyes out.
I have so much love for my sister, and hate to see her in pain. It’s so hard to be strong in times like these…but I knew that I had to be. For her.
Too much thinking. Lots of Praying. Much to learn.

Starting Anew

I think that I’m going to start a blog…it will take a while to get into, and it will take a while to fully understand all these unusual buttons and options. This is a slow process, but I think that it will be worth it.
I have a passion for writing and reading as well as photography. I think that I will be posting many different things on this blog, from music to writing to photography to art to anything else that interests me. This is an experiment that I hope is very successful.
Happy blogging, people of this world <3
