A Wish on a Rainy day

       As I was looking out my window, staring at the rain...I saw a peculiarity. A wish! Floating, unscathed, amongst the droplets. A curious thing, the wish. So fragile, and yet it has the unconscious willpower to lead it around each drop-to stay af;oat despite the cascading tears all around it...teasing the gentle thing with the possibility of falling to the earth in a mere second. Beautiful, really. A wish on a rainy day.                                                    

            I asked for this pair of red flats for Christmas last year. I was struggling with depression at the time and quite honestly, I believed I was going insane. But for some peculiar reason, I felt like if I owned a pair of bright red flats, maybe just maybe, I wouldn't be so crazy. Of course this pair of shoes didn't by any means cure me, or change what was going on...but they made me feel different, special. They made me believe that one day, things would be okay. Do not ever criticize anyone on the clothes they wear. It's unfathomable how much they could mean.

       Happiness is just like a balloon. When something gives us joy, our balloon fills up bigger and bigger...and those people that have depression, and who aren't very happy, their balloons have just yet to be filled up. Unfortunately though, every once in a while, a person's balloon will pop. And the happy air will try to fill it up again but it does nothing but blow around the shreds of rubber. Be careful with your balloons, folks. Don't let them pop.

Why does no one write handwritten letters anymore? I think we should bring it back. I know that I have zero followers, and only 30 people have looked at this, but if anyone else see's this...please just write one? Don't you remember what it was like to wait at the mail box, and ask every day, " Do I have mail, do I have mail?" Let's start that up again!!

        I honestly don't know what I would do if I didn't have photography to turn to. 

It's so comforting being able to look out of a lens and see the world a different way.

Gunshots and bombs echoed all around him, but Daniel heard nothing. It had happened quickly. He didn't realize until the blood started seeping through Thomas's shirt that he was even wounded. Yet now here he was, cradling his best friend's head in his lap, promising to take care of his wife and children. As Thomas shut his eyes for the last time, Daniel placed his battle-worn helmet on the ground in respect. Only one thing was going through his head, 

This war must end.

I can't believe it's already 2013. This year, one of my resolutions is to find and capture ( take pictures of, not physically imprison) unusual and/or just simple things that are beautiful, but aren't usually regarded as such...and I will post these on here. I know that this may seem kind of silly, mostly because I know no one reads this...but this is kind of for myself; as a way to help me finish something for once in my life.
