so i haven't posted here in forever because i have another top secret blogging project this year that i've been working on. but i know some people (ie. my parents) still come and check this little blog so i thought i would at least show some of the pictures that have been featured on my other blog. i'm pretty pleased with the way my photography is growing. i feel like i'm slowly, but surely learning the little tricks of the trade.

no one said it would be easy. no one ever said it would be this hard.

the lyrics from this song in the title of this post is basically how i feel about the new diet i am trying for the next two weeks.

something i've been listening to recently

07.17.13. 

"but if i'm being totally honest maybe it isn't fine. maybe i'm mad about the fact that things never seem to work out. i mean all i want is a nice boyfriend. a relationship that's easy and fun. and i really don't think i'm asking for much, seriously. but i guess the last three years of my life prove otherwise. maybe i'm the girl who had that fantastic relationship in high school that ended terribly and that's it for me. it just seems so much easier for everyone else. they break up with someone. they do the whole being single thing for a little while, but then they get back in the game and find someone better and they're happy." 

a piece of writing from the hard copy of "the diaries of liz" also known as my journal. 

and five months later it is still so relevant. 

"she moved on, and 

i feel sorry for you, 

because she thought 

you were the most amazing boy every. 

if she could have had any guy

in the world, 

she still would have picked you. 

now, you're just 

another part of her past, 

a memory more faded every day. 

and somehow she'll find the one 

she deserves, and he will make her 

the happiest girl in the world."
