someone wise once told me that it is okay to be sad, that there is beauty in pain.
i believe you.
its 4 in the morning as i write this, and i ordered pizza for myself and watched glee for the most part of the night. i am now listening to damien rice and the pain in his music resonates with mine and its oddly comforting.
i'm not okay right now, but i will be. i know i will.
i am sad but not defeated. i am grateful. i am hopeful. i am happy that i am sad.
:(((

I've always admired your ability to transcend emotions into photos. they are so raw and filled with much genuity, art in its most expressive and honest form. At first I even felt like I've intruded upon someone's privacy or personal space, but you're right and the 'someone wise', there is beauty in pain. and I think that beauty's honesty. We are so often clouded by notions of 'perfection' in society that it's easy to forget that the truthfulness inside is the most perfect of all, because it's real. Thank you for giving me that insight and sharing these photos with us.

Although I don't know you personally, I know you'll be okay too, you have the heart of a lion, if these photos and entries are anything to go by.
