Did I mention

that I'm more happy know then ever before? I took my first ever yoga class here last Sunday(first class outside of my bedroom anyway). It was fun...left my muscle aching..but I liked the work out and hope to keep it up!! Now that its winter I'm no longer doing yoga in my house. We don't get good heat. =/ This is an old photo. I just got a new job(Yay) so as soon as I get into the flow of it I'll have more time to take (and edit) more photo's.

Happiness..revisited

Happiness.
I suffered from depression when I was younger.
It kept me from graduating on time.
Even when I did I was never really happy.....I had moments were I was happy then a second later I would be sad again. Recently I find myself smiling for no reason. I honestly don't feel I have anything to be happy about but I am.
I'm Happy. For the first time in a while!

A while ago I had started a photo project called "The Pursuit". It was inspired by the movie "The Pursuit of Happiness" with Will Smith. It was very moving..like seriously I had a hard time not crying! I plan on continuing my pursuit so that I never loss sight of my happiness. In a years time I'm going to have my first exhibit!! Watch me!
I would love to keep everybody close to me but some people are just toxic and I can't. "Sometimes you've got to love people-- even your family from a distance."

True Story.

I watched a man "shoot up" today.
I watched as he sat on a crate, and as he scratched at his arm I knew exactly what he was doing.
I watched as he took off his shoes and slowly his head stared to nod, until his neck seemed unable to support it..and it finally fell on to his chest.
All the while I was watching him I felt sorry for him
I wondered what drove him to do this in the first place and why he just didn't stop.
He looked so lonely and broken sitting on the corner by him self.
That's what I think drugs do to a person......they break you and drive the people that care about you away...until your all alone.

The sad thing is this isn't my first time seeing somebody "shoot up" or get high.....and I have a feeling that it won't be my last.

True Story.

Peace.

9/11

Do you remember where you were when the towers fell?
Do you remember how people changed the way they treated other people?
It terrible that it took something so terrible to make people think about there actions.

My sympathy goes out to all that has lost someone on 9/11.


Peace.

Wednesday.

So today started out good...
I was happy because I was going to see a friend of mine from my school
....a guy friend that I kinda have a crush on....:shrugs:
we hung out for a while went to 34th street after he got out of class.....then he had to work so I didn't get to spend that much time with him.
I have the bad habit of building people up in my head and when there not what I though they'd be.......I get disappointed and tend to lose interest in the person....I'm trying Very hard not to do that with him......
I like were his head is at.

Well after we separated I went to go see the bestie at her job, then made my way to 14th street.
On the way I had a slice of pizza for $1, which was yummy, I saw this two girls eating each others faces (a new experience) lol, I finally made it to 14th street went to Strand books and brought "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran. A very good book go buy it....or borrow it from the library.

That's all for know.

Peace.
