Cruel & Beautiful World

September 25, 2013

Go ahead and close the door
I’ll stand outside in the rain

A little bird just told me so
It’s time to start over again

So I’ll [wo]man up and take this boat
Far away from these shores

And I’ll reach behind an enemy line
And find my curable cure

Cause it’s a cruel and beautiful world…
I buried a treasure
Far off near the desert

I’m trying to find my way there
It’s been too long since I’ve been myself
And my eyes can’t see anymore…
 Cause it’s a cruel and beautiful world…



Lyrics: Grouplove, Cruel & Beautiful World

Life has it’s ever present challenges that are continually a part of our lives. There are so many wonderful things to cherish, but there are always things to fight for.  It’s  about always remembering what you’re fighting for.  The scenery, circumstances, and players change and evolve, but the core challenge always exists.

Right now I feel the upward battle between the beautiful and the painful in my life. Sometimes it seems life is playing a funny joke on you, just as you thought things were right… It’s about always fighting, always enjoying, and always looking forward

That’s what I have to keep telling myself…

Bathroom Selfies

September 18, 2013

 My version of the bathroom “selfie.” And, no, I am not taking a crap it the toilet picture.  

Gosh. Your mind must be in the gutter.

As of late, I have been travelling down a path of self and life reflection. Due to personal events and a multitude of things going on with me right now. I am usually a solitary person, but even more recently, I’ve been feeling the need to be alone. To think. To figure out. To get over.

Some things can only be healed by our own thoughts and tears. No conversation or analyzation will do.

This shoot was taken during one of those times. I took a trip out to my grandmother’s house in Half Moon Bay, CA. This house is a trip. After you get over the must and dust, it’s like you stepped back in time to 1967. From the decor to the contents of the bathroom medicine chest.

So, of course, I had to do a photo in the glowing neon pink bathroom that coincidentally matched my pastel rainbow dress!
