“If you have to speculate if someone loves you and wants to be with you, chances are they don’t. It’s not that complicated. Love, in most cases, betrays the one feeling it. Don’t waste moments waiting and wondering. Don’t throw away your time dreaming of someone that doesn’t want you. No one is that amazing, certainly not the one who would pass you up.”
A part of a letter from a close friend about my blog. Thank you for being you, Sarah.
"Finally, GOOD JOB GIRL. You have always been an extremely talented photographer, and I know you have written bits and pieces through the years, but I am psyched that you’re playing around with expressing your thoughts more and more through words too. I’ve also been trying to explore the idea of pairing words with pictures, and its really fucking difficult, so I want to seriously compliment you on the structure of your blog here – I like the break up of writing from you / other writers you find inspiring / photos you find inspiring / photos you have taken of others / photos you have taken of you – what a great concept.
I just really admire this and want to explore it more as well. This really gives insight into who you are – others may not understand you, but if they are anyone worth knowing they will at least understand that this is blog is genuine portrayal of yourself – an intimate peek (god, that sounds creepy, sorry I’m out of words – dare I say SNAPshot) into your mind and heart. It shows what you find inspiring, and then shows the product of that inspiration! Brilliant!!
I know we’ve talked a lot about how you don’t like how people idolize or worship you and how that stems from the image you portray on social media, so try not to take this in that context – I want you to know that you inspire me because you use every day to find yourself. (If I’m honest, I think your job and lifestyle allows for that creative energy / space/ process more than mine, but I still want to work on this and see this as a goal, and I know I could do better.)
I am proud of you for your personal drive just as much as I am proud of you for your professional drive. You truly find meaning in every thing around you through your (conscious and subconscious) analysis of its effect on you, and I think this blog shows that. I know you are proud of yourself, but you should be VERY FUCKING PROUD of yourself. I agree from your last post that you have always been an old soul from the time you were young, but I know you are not arrogant because you do not see yourself as complete, and to me that is the difference between arrogance and confidence. You know your soul is a work in progress and this piece is about that and this blog is an even bigger exploration of that journey. Well fucking done. People always say “life has so much in store for you” but whatever life hits you with, its nothing compared to what you have in store for it. You are beautiful inside and out, and I love you very very much."
