i'm learning to roll with the awkwardness of a new relationship. i can't front..sometimes i feel like i'm just not cut out for this kind of thing. maybe i'm so used to coming and going as i please, that it's hard for me to fall back into having someone in my life. i won't like everything he does or says, and he won't like everything i do or say. that's life, that's what i'm learning to accept. luckily, he's someone who is willing to sit down, talk things out with me, and come to a solution before the night is over. we can't be here to change eachother, and we're not. a compliment is what everyone needs, and what everyone needs to be: i'm seeking someone that can handle me, and balance me out..& he shows serious signs of being able to do just that.
-RANDOM THOUGHT- i really DON'T care about the win the Steelers just got in the SB.
moving on.. my photography teacher, Robin Schwartz, whom i admire VERY much, is always giving me suggestions for my work. honestly, it makes me proud because I know she doesn't do that for everyone. i feel like she really wants me to be successful. ENOUGH MUSHY BUSINESS. for anyone who doesn't know - that's reading this - i'm adopted into an Italian family. my teacher suggested that i make a book consisting of portraits, bios and interviews of myself & my family, and other inter-racial adoptees/adopters. i think i'll give it a GO. it's going to be a touchy, emotional subject, but as an artist my job, and desire, is to create art that impacts someone's life; not everyone's life..one person is an accomplishment in my eyes.
so, if you're reading this and you know anyone who is adopted, or you are adopted yourself, and would be interested in telling their story through words and photographs, PLEASE CONTACT ME. :)
love&peas.
