This is my paradise in a world of pain
This was taken on Saturday, February 7, 2009. This previous weekend was probably the worst I've had in the past three or four years. It was just horrible. Nothing was going right, everything was falling apart.
I just got so tired of sitting there thinking about how much better things could be, so I just went outside and sat down in the damp grass. I stayed out there until 9:00ish. I was sitting in our side yard in between these two electrical poles, so I had wires going up above me. I got to watch the sun set, and slowly fade into night. I don't know, I hope I don't sound all corny right now. But it was really that amazing. Since that night, things have gotten much worse than they were then. But, I've learned to appreciate things like that night.
Why dwell over the hardships when happiness is all around you?
And, it's supposed to be blurry. I think the symbolization is pretty obvious, it being blurry and all. The red things are my shoes, which hold many memories. Whenever I look at them I can't help but smile. So I guess it's like the dark surrounding the shoes are the bad times in my life, but the good still stands out more? That's how I see. Then again, I think into things wayyyyy too much.
It may not be a very good picture, but to me, it speaks many words and has great memories. I guess that's all that should matter, right?
I don't know, comment it? Tell me what you think of when you see it, I'm curious to know. :]

I like to think that no matter how bad it is now,in another year it will be history and most likely forgotten about.Just remember the good times!!!
Impressive image that certainly tells your story well.

I think that we all have such revealing moments.
