THERE! i did it.how you like me now, 2008?
i have mixed feelings about this photo. this girl is awaiting her commencement ceremony from graduate school. she's also awaiting her first IVF cycle, which started a month later.
the anticiaption was fruitful.
she's gone. like, forever. the question now is, can i manage another version of that? can i somehow muster up the hopeful, the positive, with the utter shit?
can peace and madness co-exist?
we'll see, i guess. that's the best i can do.
for now.

This is a beautiful photo. You look happy and lighthearted. I know you might never feel quite so light again, but I think you CAN get back to real happiness in time. I hope we all can do that this year.
Hello :o)
I felt like that when I posted mine too.
You know I'm considering doing the flickr 365 photo thing this year. A self-portrait or a random picture, one everyday for a year.
I kind of want to do it although I hate pics of myself, purely to see if I find that girl again.
Happy New Year!!
I'll email you about the T-shirt soon, I'm supposed to not be blogging today (DH agreement), doing well aren't I?
Yup, still like ya ;o)
It's that look of innocence I miss, and the feeling behind it. Really believing that I was exempt from all the really bad sh*t that goes on in this world. I'm not. I hate that.
Can peace and madness co-exist? Hasn't it always? We just have to make it work for us now and that totally sucks, in my opinion.
I hope you find her again, charmedgirl. Maybe not all of her, exactly the way she was. But even a little of her is better than none. XO.
I feel like the girl I was is gone too. I hope you find the girl in this photo too.
Let me know about the peace/madness thing. I'd like to know!
I hope she's not gone forever!
Thanks for posting this!
I am soooo long gone. I don't even recognize myself anymore and what I was happy about seems so trivial and stupid. However, that said, I was NEVER as beautiful as you are/were. It would be nice to get back there again, wouldn't it. Even if just for a few minutes. Hell, I'd like to be hopeful about something again like ceremonies and ART. Anything. Hit me.
she's lovely- I hope you find her or some version of her again
You are very pretty in this photo. I bet you still look the same!
