5...4...3...2...1......
This is just one of the many photos I was able to capture of another of my beautiful friends who is expecting anytime now. I was finally able to get out and take some photos of her and I am so happy I did!
Not only did I get to use my photographic skills but I also got to feel the baby moving in her belly and got the chance to catch up with a dear friend.

To fear or love
I really care for you, but I can't handle the life you have to offer.
When feelings are there but fear of the unknown is more powerful, how can one ever expect to live happy. Fear is such a strong power, and we see it everywhere. In love, in friendships, in enemies, in death, fear is what keeps us on our toes. But when should fear be embraced and used as a stepping stool for something that could be even more powerful?
If you fear the idea of being in love with the wrong person, how can you ever expect to be in love with the right person.
I was falling in love, with the wrong person. A strong person I thought was right. My fear was pushed aside and than thrown back at me. I should have put fear first, then maybe I wouldn't have been questioned and maybe I wouldn't be where I am now.
Could it be possible that the fear you feel is actually love? Could it possibly just be a sign that your feelings are stronger than you could have expected? And feeling the fear of commitment is possibly a good sign that you may just be falling for someone? Being afraid is normal. I understand fear. I understand the decisions that can be made out of fear. I just wish that I wasn't the one to be feared.
It's hard to let go of someone you care for. But why would you let go if you did care for them? Shouldn't love be the strength that is supposed to keep two together?
Either way, I understand the decisions that can be made out of fear and I respect them.
I will always be the same person. I will always be there to offer the same things. Fear and love, I know.

The calm before the storm
I lost my groove for a little while in regards to photography and blogging, and in no way am I making any promises that I will continue to keep up the pace. What I can promise is some beautiful photos of a good friend of mine who is expecting her first child in June.
We had a great time doing this photo shoot. I got to see more of her than I ever have, and now so do you... but in the most respectable and creative sense possible.
She's a doll.

Patience
My mind sometimes moves a little too fast when thrown a scenario that I cannot control. But I understand that we all have priorities that can take up more of our personal time than we would like. It all makes those little special moments so much more meaningful, especially when we practice patience. With all the crazy things that I have had to go through, patience is a whole lot easier then worrying.
I tend to throw myself into relationships full force, but I am realizing that doing this isn't going to create happiness in all other aspects of my life, in my priorities. I know that time and patience is always the winner. Or not... But time is there, so really, why rush it when doing so could land you in a worse predicament then you ever thought could happen. Speaking from experience.
When you have been through a bad relationship, it's hard not to compare qualities in others that remind you of the past, but I am finding myself pretty lucky at the moment because I am working into a relationship that has only brought me curiosity about this person as an individual of his own traits. A new book to be read, slowly.
And although I do slightly fear that I am still moving too fast, even just by talking about it, I feel it important to share my thoughts with others that could be inspired, or comforted by my experience, willpower and guts to display it online.
So stop worrying, use patience as a tool and don't forget that you are the most important person in your life that can create true happiness.
My positive nature has returned.

Kiss and Tell
First kisses are almost always the best. And in my case, you know it's the best when you want to experience it the same way every time and have the same feelings every time. Always having that first kiss adrenaline.
But what if after that first kiss you wonder if that's all it's ever going to be. Do we get into relationships knowing that there may not be a future, or do we opt out still not knowing if a future would have happened. It's all so confusing. I know I will never understand what is going through the male mind, and I know I will never be completely understood, but I really wish my mind could shut itself off from all of the confusion that comes with starting something new. It's a wonderful feeling when you start a new relationship, and if that good feeling could last forever, then it's perfection. But perfection is an unrealistic expectation. However, if you could view perfection as being something that includes imperfection, then that expectation can be achieved! No-one is perfect, we've all got secrets we may never expose, and little quirks we may never understand, but that's what's called character and uniqueness. That is what makes us all who we are. And if we can accept each other for all of the little oddities and qualities, then we can continue on with the infatuation that brings us closer to each other.
To everyone reading this, go back to that memorable first kiss and think of all the thoughts you had while your lips were still locked. All the butterflies and goose bumps, tension and content.
It's always worth it.

Chillin' with Stickers!
I wrote this on Fri. Jan. 21st, 2011.
That's right, home on a friday night with my cat Stickers watching The Princess Bride. I haven't watched this movie in such a long time. This movie makes me wish for a masked man to sweep me off my feet.
How pathetic.
I still can't stop thinking about the idea of love. I'm obsessing over old fairy tale stories and romantic feel good movies.
I enjoy hearing stories of love.
Just sit me down and pour your guts out to me on how and when you fell in love. I will sit there and listen to every word, soaking up all the feel good vibes and of course, I will envy the love you have or have had. I can't help it, I'm a sucker for romance.
Let's take a look back in time:
1. Romeo and Juliet - Need I say more?
2. Desperately Seeking Susan - A young women succumbs to amnesia and unknowingly steals the identity of another women (Madonna) who lives a completely different lifestyle. She falls for a handsome man who only knows her by the other woman's name. Nearly a secret identity! Scandalous!
3. Dirty Dancing - Patrick Swayze was hot in that movie!
4. Pretty in Pink - Classic tale of geeky girl who hooks up with a rich posh good looking (not so good looking in my books) guy who has jerks for friends.
5. The Wedding Singer - I sorta fell for Adam Sandler in this movie...
6. The Little Mermaid - any guy would fall for a babe wearing seashells on her boobs. And when she loses the fins and chances being human at the risk of losing her voice.... sometimes, to get what you want a compromise is necessary.
7. Beauty and the Beast - We all wish our pots and pans and tea kettles and teacups and dusters and lamps and clocks and dressers and chairs etc. could come to life and take care of the cleaning and cooking. That's love. The Beast is just there for shock factor.
8. The Princess Bride - as you wish.......
9. Twilight series - The new Romeo and Juliet. Please don't hurt me for saying that....but it's true.
10. 500 days of Summer - fantastic movie with a much more realistic perspective on love.
These are just some of my favorites.
Anyway, these movies are what has molded my subconscious, and many others into wanting the perfect fairy tale love story. Or any love story for that matter...yikes.
At least on my part it's all fairly innocent.
