some relationships just work. these two could be married already as far as you can tell. they just seem to get each other really well. they are cute. they arent knock-everyone-down-pda-in-the-streets, but they also arent cold with each other. its such a good thing to see, and it makes me believe in it all.

here's to recognizing that your life is your own, and taking charge of it.

i think that after spending 12 years in school and 18 guided by my parents on this straight and narrow path, i forgot that my life and my destiny is my own. ive got the keys now and i get to drive and i get to relish in the successes as truly my own and i get to shovel the shit when i screw it all up. i dont know where i want to go for sure right now, but maybe its time i did what i wanted to do. i can make rationale out of doing almost anything, im sure there could be a logical explanation for this.

i am sooo scared. but its ok. its a good scared i guess. u dont ever get this back. and you certainly dont ever get this time back.

take it for what its worth. everything in moderation. exercise caution, but live your life.

from the wise words of belton, we find angie truth #3:
belton says that the best shots in photography are the ones that when they were taken the photographer wasnt sure if they would actually work out or not. the risky shots win the prize because they might not have worked but they did, and the photographer was willing to risk it for the big reward.

this is true in life too.

the things that hurt, and the decisions that were hard to make are ultimately the ones that can end the most beautifully.

life's boring when you know how it will turn out.

i just hope my risk yields the most beautiful photograph in all kinds of shades of gold.
