I have been gone again for so long. I miss all of my friends here and hope you have been well. I hope to start posting more now that I have a camera again and it is going to be spring. Turning 28 has given me reason for introspection and meditation...Growing up.

All portraits are photographed by me
Hair done by me
Makeup done by me
Editing by me

This lilac bush is right outside my front door. One morning, very, very early, I saw how the sun was shining on them and I had to take pictures. Something so simple, but breathtaking! The only editing I did on the lilacs was cropping- they were already perfect. 
I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Hey everyone...um, I haven't been around this past year. A lot of things have happened in my life and I have been completely taken over by it all. I will be putting up new stuff and hopefully get back on here and enjoy seeing all you amazing people. Hope all is well with everyone and hope to be back soon!

On a 25th day,
of my 25th year,
I was not where I had always been.
Celebrated with family
Who weren't blood-bound.
I heard my father's voice for the first Christmas in over two years.
I have prayed for strength.
And when not looking,
Have found answers.
This morning
I took in every freckle
The way he fidgets with his hair when not paying attention.
The way his hand looks when holding mine. 
He crosses his feet when he sleeps.
Covers his face when he knows I'm watching
Realizing he just may be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
And then I remember all the darkness.
 The Ill desired draw that keeps me from the light.
And I am torn.
Stripped of what is new.
What is effortless.
What is possible.
And I set myself away
And assign myself as "No One".
I may have won the war,
But battle still wages
And I do not know the outcome.

Today, I woke up and for the first
time in 23 years... I am alive.
