This right here. This is exactly the style I want to be. I had such a wonderful time taking these photos; and was so full of inspiration afterwards.

Please let me keep that feeling.

lost.

more and more i have been feeling like my life doesn't have a point to it. i am just wondering aimlessly and nobody cares if i win or lose. and why should they care? they have their own lives to worry about. but i just feel like a ghost; and i'm so, so lonely. i don't have any friends. i don't have anyone to just hang out with and do girl talk or cry and watch movies together. i've never had that and i want it. i always thought being alone was the way i wanted to live and more and more i'm rethinking that.

i don't know what to do though. let's be honest, my life is pulling me in so many directions. everything is seperated between 50 short but so, so far away miles. my job, my home, my boyfriend, art, the few friends i've got. everything is so far away. i don't know how to handle it.

recently i'm also starting to understand that i am only 21. i don't need to be working 40 hours a week, do i? i don't need to sit at this boring desk staring at the boring window. i could be out doing so much more. creating so much more. learning and enjoying my life instead of wasting it in an office.

maybe i'm just complaining or maybe i'm onto something here. either way, i need someone to talk to. i need someone to sit down with me and help me figure out my life.

So tell me, what am I doing wrong?

Why are others craved over, and I'm never looked after, always long gone.
I do the same.
In fact sometimes I think I do better; maybe even best.
But still I feel different and I feel I'm doing wrong.

Creative Therapy


I get depressed really, really easily. My mood will change from happy to incredibly sad in a matter of seconds and I can never control it or make myself feel any better. But I’ve noticed creating art makes me happy. Working on something I’m proud of gives me a little bit of hope. If I’m in one of my moods, going out and shooting or finding an old photo on my computer to work on totally changes my point of view on the day.
I need to keep creating.

What seems to be the problem here?

I am in a bird cage;
Or rather, a fish bowl.
I'm up for the show.
Help me out of this hole.

When I escape,
Where do I go?
"What seems to be the problem here?"
Is being said from those I don't know.

artists block?

I've been thinking more and more lately about the types of people I know,
I love being around those that fill their lives with art.
It gives me inspiration;
It gives me hope to be better at what I do.

Artists really do play off each other.
We all learn from seeing another's work.
Watching another in action.
Whether it be photography, music or artwork.

It's fun to learn together,
And not to feel embarrassed if you fail.
Because you can't fail - it's art.
Seeing the beauty in everything.

Sometimes though I don't feel like an artist.
I lie on my bed and cry out for passion.
Can you suffer from 'writers block' in every aspect of art?
I think I do, I really think I do.

That's also hard;
When again, I see those around me.
Constantly displaying their art.
I am so lost in it.

Rather, I don't want to see it.
I don't want to hear it.
Now here I am so aggravated,
Hating it.

Maybe I'm not a true artist,
possibly.
Others show more passion and enthusiasm.
Maybe it's just artists block.

What a beautifully artistic weekend we had! Helping out on set filming for the 48 Film Project, and then doing photos, and back to the set to help film! I felt so inspired and happy to be doing something I love. No one can take away that feeling... http://www.brittniwillie.com/

Drawing America by Bike, huh?

While surfing KSL today I stumbled upon this article (http://www.ksl.com/?sid=15902594&nid=1010) about a man that's biking across America and drawing it! How interesting I thought to myself... Reading about this man's life you'll see that he's graduated College with a Masters degree and yet with this economy the way it is he has be unable to find a steady job.

So instead of feeling sorry for himself and getting swept up in dead-end jobs he decided why not make a trip out of this and enjoy his life while the recession runs it's course. Eric hopped on a bycicle and is now riding across the USA meeting people, sleeping under the stars, and drawing his entire adventure... you can follow his travels on his personal blog - http://drawingamericabybike.blogspot.com/ and don't forget to add a donation! :)

Good luck Eric :)

Dear Darling:

Darling, I write you
To tell you I’ve gone.
To let me breath on my travels,
After this maybe you can come.

I have passed many disturbing valleys,
Trees that hung so low to the ground,
I always wonder how you’re feeling,
Are our children safe and sound?

I miss little Allison so dearly,
She is full of such wisdom like you,
And Tom was quite a wild one,
Whether playing with worms or eating glue.

Oh, but my heart is often heavy,
The tears have been so quick to fall.
Darling, didn’t you always know this?
We weren’t fit for love after all.
