Something different.

I’ve had online journals for many years. Actually, many of the people reading this right now have been reading “me” for a long time. My platform of choice was always Livejournal and, as most of you know, LJ gives you the option to post privately. It gives you this sense of privacy and safety because you get to decide who reads what.
I always hesitated about creating a public blog because I know I’m not one of those people that can keep posting all cheerful posts with good quality photos all.the.time. I can’t. Because sometimes you have other things on your mind so you don’t even think about bringing your camera with you; other times you just aren’t in a good mood and who wants to read some girl whining about her problems?

There’s also the professional side of it. I know a lot of people come here to see my photos and that’s it. I don’t mind. That’s what I want. I WANT people to see my photos and like them. Makes sense as I’ve always wanted photography to be my livelihood, right? But some days, like today, I feel the need to write and not be obligated to show you just pretty pictures. Because life happens. And it’s not always perfect. I said I wanted this to be a personal blog and this is, unfortunately, part of it.

So I’m not going to say today was a wonderful day. It wasn’t. Waking up to hear someone you love in pain is something I really don’t wish on anybody. Thankfully, things are a little better now but I’m exhausted. Pretty sure I’m going to spend the rest of the day watching TV shows and trying not to fall asleep before 10pm.

Just one more thing before I go: Call your parents/family today and tell them you love them.
