I don't appreciated how often people hide their scars and doubts. Really, it's not fair to people who are struggling, to go on believing that everyone else just has it totally together and never has one bad thought in their lives.

I think it's the bravest thing in the world - to run straight at love, even knowing how badly you could get hurt.

I want to reach back into my history with a grade-school pink eraser, scrubbing away my decisions like mistakes on a math test. Too bad I drew my mistakes in ink.

I see it all through the lens of my camera__he flurry of movement, the venue staff in black T-shirts, giving orders into their headsets. As I take it all in, my mind weighs the texture, the composition, the possibility of each changing scene, and I struggle to hold back, to keep my finger from pressing too soon. That__ my biggest flaw as a photographer. I__ impatient__rigger-happy. I want the shot now, now, now, click, click, click, and if I could just wait a second more, the moment would really flourish.
