Before the lights changed, I snapped this shot this morning. It’s… probably one of the best shots I have taken. It reminds me that I have a good eye for things. I see beauty everywhere. I hope that never stops. I hope I never stop looking for it, and finding it.
Things are really happening for me right now. I have a curve to follow. It makes me feel so full with life and energy and like I am making good use of my time here. I am focused on the right things, the best things.
One of the best decisions I have made in YEARS is deciding to be single and to focus on those things. Wish I’d realised it sooner.

My hair is curled like Monroe and I’m donning a boat-neck black dress, patent mary-janes and tonight, I walk with a sense that has clung to me no matter where I have been this past week…
It’s nice, so nice, to be able to write fluidly that I believe in myself. It has been such an intense time lately, for reasons I’m not sharing here, so to have had this… golden something appear amidst it.. is more than I could have expected.
By the end of this year, I will be able to say I am a Writer - not a budding one, not a dreamer. It is so exciting and put such a sense of purpose into my own life in a way, at least in so far as my dreams, has been absent.
I will also be able to say that I am a Photographer. But, first things first. One foot in front of the other. I walk my own line and I walk it fine.
I wasted too long being afraid.
Tonight, my mentor, is hoping to plug my work, and put me into contact with some people at Machete Girl magazine. This is the night I dreamed as I sat clicking away at a keyboard at eighteen only wishing that I would ever end up here… and after years of almost forgetting it.. or not thinking it real, I made a conscious decision to get serious about my talent, my passion and do something about it. Fate, or whatever you want to call it, crossed my path with someone who saw into my writing… and saw that it could stand on its own. So hence, to make a memorable first impression, I am dressed to the nines, wielding my words, my composure as sharp and dainty as a pocketknife, and knowing full well that tonight I must be subtle, that I must be understated, but confident and smart. My pen and notebook are coming with me. My pen is my knife, my life, my blood, my story, my love.
Good night.

- Johnny Depp in Jim Jarmusch’s Dead Man (1995)
That scene, where his head is spinning, and the guitar is getting louder and deeper, more terrifying… It makes the viewer feel like they are right there. Every single strain of the guitar wails through the soul.
