In a time where everyone is trying to fit in...it's those that remember that being different is what is talent. In a society where everything sounds the same, it's those who dare to be ahead of the curve, and demonstrate layers of talent that will rise.

Leave self absorption to sponges.

Nothing like having someone say something to you to make you realize that not even the best intentions can break through a narcissistic personality. Is self absorption the new IN? It really is one of those breaking points... it's why photography is so admired. Sometimes if you hear the noise, the sound, or words come out of this amazing shot.. it could damage it! No, you don't think I really believe that do you? The only thing that can damage are the words you choose to say, how you choose to say them, and did you connect your brain to your audio skills before you opened your mouth? Probably not.

Photography is beautiful. If done right it takes you to moments... moments that you keep (like the ones you keep in your heart/soul) and they truly are yours. You not only view it, you see yourself in it, feel it, hear it...

Now I'm getting off the point...squirrel.... I've said it so many times.. but let's spin the record ONE MORE TIME. Ready... check one, check, check, KINDNESS is not to be confused with WEAKNESS & if you went there (took it all for granted)... I'm sorry that you missed the whole point. I will not even take the time to understand someone that really is so full of themselves they missed growing, acknowledging, appreciating that yes the world is tough, you need to be a little selfish, be careful, keep some guards up, BUT you WILL cross honest, strong, sincere people. If you are used to getting what you want by using fillers, stomping through people, then enjoy the ride it doesn't last. You might reach a point quickly but you better grab onto it with the jaws of life cause it will be that much harder to retain something you did not earn. I know harsh.. but it's true.

We live in a society where patience, goodness, kindness is consistently tested. Will you step & leave footprints with good intentions? The results will not always be what you expected but it's your intentions that are the point. It seems easy for people to take the easy road, which not facing the facts, dishonesty seem much harder to me, but hey I'm just observing.AT the END of the DAY you have to look at yourself in the mirror, and it's your reflection you have to ♥♫♥. So how are you doing so far? See right through to you... now some wise words from a young woman - (also champagne celebration scattered words this evening :O) cheers) - I truly admire.. she took what I said and summed it up better than I could of jabbered all night ;O) zzzz....


"Narcissism is the new black.
I can say this without any hesitations. If New York Runways are the stage for up coming fashion seasons around the world, then our daily sidewalks have become our own stages to shine upon. This season I feel has gone dark, very dark – cave like. It’s a cold and damp look - so buyer beware its so heavy that our heads can’t surface above the shoulders. One must hang upside down like a bat from inside the cave; this emotional vampire can now suck the life out of anyone. Just always be cautious for these bats swarm and leave no prisoners. Avoid becoming fashion road kill for no one wears jealousy well.
Bats don’t know that you will never shine in a dark room… KML"


Moving forward... let's just say, never regret anything that made you smile.

It's good to be ALONE...

Let me start out by saying maybe it is because you find out who you are (You have no constant buffers to deter you from that) who your friends are....maybe because you realize who is one your side. I don't mean who will listen to your whining over and over, and all the stuff you need to settle in your life but who will be there to pick you up when times are so tough, ANYONE would know that a reach out hand would do wonders. I mean really what is it? Is it pride. Do we all have to be so tough? I know SOME people are crappy, SOME take advantage, SOME will even mislead the hell out of you...but does it really mean we have to be tough on those that are full of love to give, good intentions? A desire to live life to the fullest, laugh out loud and do what you must in the mean time while we get our dreams in order. Sadly I'm going to say yes. Regardless I refuse to be one of those....Don't get me wrong. "Let me clear my throat"....yah sing along... I will love, laugh, support, bend it better than Beckam, but if you push, stretch the rubber band, I am human, and well it will be time for me to let it go. I guess society is working on such an extreme basis...too tough, too soft, that they believe that there is no middle. It's simple you see. I've said it a million times. We ARE ALL on the same boat. Money, well it makes the world go round, love we need some sort that is the "umph" to drive us, laughter well that is just great release, and toughness it's good cause you can't let your self be beat, but really if you don't take a look around, and start to involve the people that matter, and I don't mean take on their crap, you are and will miss out. I have heard the saying it's better to be alone than unhappy. TRUE....it's great to be independant, but IT SUCKS to be so alone that you are lonely. All that does is make you go...'o.k. so I've been positive, I've worked hard, I've moved on, why would I want more people in my life to do this all over again' Right?

So here I am. Starting over, counting very few who will support, figuring out what is worth it, and wondering how long will I have to chill, and feel the hurt in my soul before the sun comes out?

I live by observations. I live by my head and my heart, regardless my heart overpowers my head sometimes (But in the end I will never regret that)! I don't know really why people have to get a taste of you, and then you become just a someone, a now and then, a maybe never again. REALLY?! Did we have this discussion. DID I START this ? No! I disappear I become so well liked....really have we become a society where we have all been treated so poorly that you have to lose the good things in life to realize how great it is to have it (AT WHATEVER LEVEL)? Doesn't society realize that that severe of a push sometimes means you will not get that back. It won't be the same. It can't be rekindled.
