[Sorry it's late again!]

{6/52} Friday, February 11th 2011

So now this is a bit of a flashback, but this was one of my worst Fridays ever. I was so so so stressed out about the future and college I could barely think straight. I went home and sobbed. Then I remembered what my Aunt told me.

You see, when she goes through really hard times she uses her art as catharsis (if you don't know what it means, look it up). She did a painting called "Packaged Pathos (sadness)" when my cousin and her husband broke up. And before that she did a painting when that same cousin had a miscarriage.

So I took her advice. I dropped everything and went to go take pictures. It was...liberating. All my troubles just sort of melted away. What I was trying to express through the brief photo shoot that I took was that I wanted to be freed from, for lack of a better word, imprisonment. The picture you see of me (there are two different ones here) is one of the ones from that shoot. I put the words in to show how I felt before I took the pictures. Trapped.
