Happy With My Imperfections

Hot! In Where I'm At

Uploaded 12 Nov 2007 — 44 favorites

I woke up that day so happy for no reason at all I was still as fat as I was the day before, I lived in the same crappy apartment I fell asleep in the night before, the mess from the yesterday was still present, and I had even less money than the night before.....The only diffrence was that I was happy to be me, even if it was just one morning.

Yeah seriously Vanessa, this is a great photo. The perspective is really novel; and the exposure, while slightly dark, totally sets the mood for the introspection. Thanks for sharing your self-happiness, and solid props on the shot.
