I live through creativity. When I was little I used to paint and draw. I dont do that very much on my own anymore. At the moment my creativity is shown through my writing and my photography. I love taking pictures. The idea of capturing a specific moment in time forever and having it saved is amazing to me. At school we develop our own film the "old fashion" way and I really enjoy it. Working in the dark room calms me. really, anything creative calms me.

ooooooooooooooooooooo

Music adds life. When I cant be creative, all I have to do is listen to music and breathe and everything gets better.

(after a description of inner family struggle, her family is distancing itself from a once close relative for various reasons)
I am just letting it go, and in doing so saving myself so much energy and stopping unneeded emotional turmoil. I believe that having a positive outlook in times of trouble is the best thing. And to remember that life is beautiful, it can change at any moment, and this is all you have. you cant waste it away doing frivolous things.
We are here for a reason and that is to live.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

...... I believe, no matter what, that lifs is beautiful and a blank slate that each of us paints our masterpiece. You are what you make of yourself and the attitude you hold.

oooooooooooooooooo
.... all I need is inside of me. My strength, beliefs ideas, that is what will pull me through.
