A Journey In Vulnerability

Good evening beautiful people! Hope everyone's day was good!

Mine was a struggle, I won't lie. I woke up with a headache due to some bad weather in the area today, and it persisted all throughout my day. Add to that a long, and somewhat unproductive work day, and I was feeling a bit drained.

What did I do to cheer myself up you ask? I took a photo(or 20) for you all! I titled this post trial and error because if there was a level below amateur for something, that's what I'd be at photography, lol. So when I say 20, that's probably an understatement. But here is the one I liked the best!

Yep, so easy to keep clicking away with the camera! Lovely choice of those shots though.

Has to be the “Confess your embarrassing boner stories” thread.

Wow, not sure how I missed this last night. My apologies! And yes, that seems like a must!

 

[Elgirldani]

Fun though, isn’t it?

Gorgeous pic, reminds me of Indifferent cats in porn. Google it

Meeeowwww.

Thanks all! Yeah, it is fun! And easy to get carried away taking pics, lol. Meow

Ok, so I've debated back and forth all day on sharing this with you guys. The last 24hrs have been emotionally exhausting, and I kind of hate myself today.

See, that's the thing about depression. You can have good days, but you always pay for them. When your mind is both the prison and the warden, it'd hard to do much more than survive.

That's been my life for the last few years. Surviving, but not living. Over the last few months I have fought so hard to get back to a point where I feel like I am living again. And I'm getting there. My good days out number the bad ones now. But last night and this morning were very bad. Thanks to a couple people who I won't name here, I'm smiling now. But this picture was taken when I first woke up this morning, and was feeling like there was no point.

Sorry you were feeling down, but you look beautiful. This photo lives up to the word vulnerable.

Sorry to hear you had a rough morning. We’re hoping your friendliness and artistic nature wins.

Life IS the point.

Thank you. It's why I ultimately decided to share it, because that's the whole point.

Thanks. Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it, yet.

Life IS the point.

Yes, it is. That's what I'm holding onto.

 

[Youneverknow81]

Yes, it is. That's what I'm holding onto.

Good! That picture looked to me like so much promise and potential. You were about to rise to share your life with the world as opposed to being beaten down by it.

I think that's probably the nicest thing that's been said to me today. Thank you!

A beautiful photo, even if poignant, curled into the foetal position as protection from the outside.

Thank you. It seemed the easiest visualization for what I was feeling.

It was perfect. Showing you vulnerable but self protected.
