Description “When did I start growing old? When did life start being something you had to work at and not something that just is?”
- Brian James

-----

There’s something about taking that first hit, that first pill…

it pulls you back to the innocence you’ve lost. Whether by

choice or not you know now that you’ve lost it. And for the

longest time you thought you could never get it back, and

then you take that chemical, that beautiful hellish chemical,

and your childhood is reborn. The simplest things amaze and

amuse you. You needn’t worry about the things of tomorrow,

your future, or your path of life. All you need to think about

and enjoy is the fact that you are living, and truly living.

Enjoying every savory second of it. But how do you integrate

these experiences and make them how you live your life

entirely? Of course there must be balance, unfortunately we

all have to succumb to some of the mundane in order to

function in our “adult” world. But where do we add that

hidden joy, that passion and excitement of the simple? Of the

very things overlooked day-to-day that actually make life worth

living? And without some semblance of this youth is life worth

living at all? I ask these questions because I am one of you. I

am one of the disillusioned, my childhood stolen by issues out

of my control. And there is not a day that goes by that I wish

things were different. That somehow I could go back and

reclaim the innocence that belonged to me much longer than

I actually possessed it.

- Me

It's a nice image. I like the colors and the drama of it...maybe try it in black and white? I can think of two things to maybe help...1. that box in the background with the yellow thing is a little distracting. Maybe move to where that yellow thing isn't in the shot. Also, it seems to be lacking a really clear focal point...I think it would be effective to have a few rubbed out cigs on the bench...or squished on the ground in front of it...for the poem and title this picture almost seems too clean. Good work though! I like the colors and contrast! Keep it up!
