Sometimes . . .

Sometimes I . . .

. . . feel out of sync with everything.  Nothing makes me happy, nothing makes me sad, but life just feels kind of . . . off.


Sometimes I . . .
. . . think my skin doesn't fit right.  My spirit bounces around inside me--trying to find a calm spot to rest but it's not there.

Sometimes I . . . .
. . . wish that I was a different person.  It's not so much in a "woe-is-me-and-I-suck" way but in a "wow-that-person-is-awesome-and-I-wish-I-could-do-that" way.

Sometimes I . . .
. . . lose words and reason and thought. It's at these times that I wish for the pen of Bronte or the brush of Michelangelo so my true emotion could reveal itself.

Sometimes I . . .
. . . get lost inside myself.  Directionless, I unconsciously move from day to night, filling the hours with I don't know what.

Sometimes I . . .
. . . feel trapped in this beautiful life that I find irresistible and ideal. Then I crave . . . something . . .

Sometimes I . . .

. . . am adrift in a never-ending sea of weeks indistinguishable from one another.  What do I do in this life of mine?

Sometimes I . . .

. . . suppose all is wrong when I know in my heart all is right.

All is right.  Life is good.  I am happy.

And yet, sometimes I . . .

  1. And the real question is how do you pull out of this place? I wonder if this was as hard for you to publish as Saturday's picture? This post exposes more than the self portrait, at least through my lens. Hope there's a follow up post with great insight.

    Beautiful photographs alongside insightful words, love this post!

  2. sometimes i wonder if i'm just a confused person, but then i realize i'm just a woman...and it's a confusing thing to be:) which is the peak and pit of the entire grand thing. it's always such a relief to know that it's not just up in my head that way!

  3. Gave me chills reading this as this is exactly how I have been feeling a lot lately. It is so hard to always come out of it and easy just to slip more into this.

  5. Yea, I think I'm there right now. But I think the key for me is to plan what I want to do in the future. Having something to look forward to helps in the here and now.
