We all quest for something, don't we?

Just 9 months ago, I'd finished my couch hopping and moved to Seattle where my brother and two roomates (yes, Dan [link] was one of them) took me in so I could get on my feet.

Unemployed and getting over the retarded herpe infested disease we call "mono," like any new place fresh to my feet, there was some adjusting to do. And it ain't easy. But I let it happen, and it's still happening to me. And I'm stillll not use to everything yet. But with time... ...

To compare from nine months ago, I now finally have a job where I feel secure in keeping it, with benefits, and I've been working on the spiritual routine for once, and trying to take it seriously.

I imagined there'd be a point where i'd say I finally reached my goals and I feel content.

Well... Not exactly.

With those things out of the way, it makes room for the other insecurities, unsatisfactions, and more and more goals to reach.



Can we ever be satisfied?

Wute. First comment.

What can I say? You always create these magnificent pieces that make me just want to hug and squeeze you with joy.

But I really like this one. This just speaks so much and screams desolation, and hope. I like the way you set it up in the grass, it gives it sort've a Great Depression feel.

I think I like this one even more than your street and cart ones. :) Definately a fave, hun.

I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?

By the way. I'd love to see this one in a print..

If I had any money, I'd definately buy it.

ok im offically in love with this pic! its awesome!!! and im sorry that you are going through a tough time right now. And as much as you probably hear this..just rely on Jah. He will help you though all this. And...try not to reach all of these goals at once. They said something about that at a convention...i wish i could remember the illistration they used...but the point is that its way to difficult to reach all your goals at once. You have to take them one at a time.
I hope that i helped a little...and i really hope this all made sense and i didnt just make an idiot out of myself XP.

The first thought that came to mind when I saw this was James Dean with a little less trying ot be a bad-boy and more thoughtful. The way the black and white contrasts each other reminds me of an old motion picture. Very nice exposure.

And I hope that things look up for you and that you will find the content you need and are searching for soon.

lol. well, you know, the stuff i gotta deal with today, its better dealing with it now, than 9 months ago. lol. thats for sure. i use to have a hard time believing jehovah opened up paths and oppurtunites for use to walk into, and after moving to seattle, built tons of faith up that that stuff is possible. my congragation is awesome. no clicks whatsoever. opposed to my last. so yeah, amen sista. thats for the support, and stop actin like an idiot! lol. just kiddin'. lol. thanks for the comment, my friend.

i for one, suck at prints. sometimes it just doesnt let me. but for this one, i tried, and wala! the prints go thru da to approve them first, but it actually let me get to that part, so im 99.9% sure it'll come through, they just take a bit.
