<sub>dear me,

you do not have a terrible
heart. you do not have sad
eyes and love is not a war
you need to win. you do not

need low self esteem or
the bullets in your hand gun,
only memory. my words are
filled with a breeze when

you are not there.

dear me,

it's been well over thirty days or
something like that, but i think
i've lost count. i missed the green
light, but eventually made it home.

not in time to hear your
voice. you are not terrible, you
are not terrible, you say.

dear me,

don't forget to feed that cats
and don't forget to close the windows
if it starts to rain or you'll
be swimming in a flood. don't

forget to remember that somebody
somewhere cares about you and don't
forget that every once in a while

you should close your eyes and let
somebody lead you,

somewhere.

dear me,

you are not terrible, you do not
have sad eyes, you do not need
any more bullets, you do not need
a cage around your heart. you are
not empty, you are not cold, you
are not a cardboard box with
nothing inside.

dear me,

don't forget that he cares
about you.



sincerely yours,

poem.</sub>




has anyone ever bought a print off me? because i'd really love to know who has so i can thank them! it sort of sucks that the dA system doesn't show you this.

well, i decided to update my stock account, which i only do once a blue moon. i added some pretty pretty textures with random titles for you to use:




im so lonely over on that account lol so i'll just advertise here!

--

and another thing, does anyone want to work on a collab with me? ive worked on a few already like

with =P0RG
with ~disposable-heroX

and a few more. so yeah just send me a note with an unedited picture or something and i'll see what i can make of it!

--

and i'll leave you with some pretty features!

thank you for one hundred
thousand views and two
thousand watchers. its crazy
and i never imagined to
have this much support.

ive got no inspiration. but, i think i should tell you, im feeling happy again

what can i do to get some ideas to take photos? is there anything in particular you'd like to see from me?

2 hours and 3 minutes since
i fell to the side of the road
and i realised that im running
from monsters too fast for my
feet to keep up with

casualties are high and still
counting. i need a temporary
home for my heart.

and you say you're waiting, waiting
for something. well im waiting
waiting for something too.

we admired the same thing yesterday,
from different places and in
different states of mind. maybe
one day we can go for a walk and
sit under a tree and watch
the clouds go past because we know
what it means.

and do you want to build this
house with me? we'll keep a look
out at night for the monsters
so they dont destroy what we've
created. because im sure it
will be beautiful.

i still need a
temporary home.





now you write something. just write what you're feeling. don't think about it, just say something. it doesn't have to be long if you don't want, it doesn't have to be the best thing ever. just write something.

just talking to myself, saying everything's alright.



how are you?

so i made a blog page. you can find it here: [link]

im going to try and update it with shots that i take, that means im going to try and take more behind the scene photos as well. leave comments if you want!

oh and i think im going to go ahead with the contest, since quite a few people said they would like to enter! i just hope they stick by their word it should be heaps of fun, so keep an eye out, because i'll be announcing it soon in my journal =]

and no new features at the moment, because im too lazy

well, i was just curious to know, if i were to hold a contest, would anyone enter? i had an idea, inspired by *incredi's current contest, that i'll provide you with one of my unedited photos and that you have to edit it any way you want, and then the most creative one in my eyes wins!

i'd arrange prizes like a sub, and journal features, etc. and if anyone wants to donate, feel free to let me know

so just let me know what you think then!

just updating my journal with some new features. i'll be taking new photos soon, its just that ive had exams on this week and next week so i havent had much time. i had my music performance today, it was fun =]

im so excited that i got to 1000 favs all by myself in one of my newer photos 'im a star' woooo! and i also hope you guys dont mind this poetic mood ive been in. haha, been writing a lot for some reason. just found it to be fun.

anyways, enjoy the features, and read the literature!

eh, got nothing really to say. ive just been really happy with the response to my photos lately, i really appreciate everything so much. im going to be recording some music lately, ive got no more excuses cos now i have everything i need. its just a matter of not being so lazy.

well, i'll leave you with some pretty features, enjoy them.

music or photography.

have you ever had to make a choice between two things you love?
