if all of the sudden, you found out you only had one month left on earth. what would you do, after you got over the shock, the fear, the anger, the grief. after you stopped focusing your energy on you, what would you do?

i bet i know.

i bet you would say i love you to every person you love, every day. i think you would say thank you for everything you've been given. i bet you would love deeper. i believe you would forgive those who you think have wronged you. i wager you would even cry, not because you were leaving, but because you realized just how much you love.

now.

why wait until you have a month left?

or too far.
it's that my eyes can no longer see you.



Can you tell I like taking pictures of backs?

Sweet pea, keeper of my soul, I know sometimes I'm out of control, but you're the only reason I keep on coming home. - Amos Lee, Sweet Pea

Sorry for the abscence; had a exceptionally busy week/weekend. I should be back now, and I'm getting some film developed right now which I'm hoping will have some good shots on it.

"Look at the sky: that is for you. Look at each person's face as you pass on the street: those faces are for you. And the street itself, and the ground under the street, and the ball of fire underneath the ground: all these things are for you. There are as much for you as they are for other people. Remember this when you wake up in the morning and think you have nothing." - Miranda July
