there are times when i simply don't have the words or the courage to write what i feel on paper, let alone for anyone else to see. i don't want anyone to look too closely lest they see me for who i really am.

days like today send me spiraling, but i have decided that no matter what, i will not drink. and that is one of the more difficult decisions i have had to make.

instead, i decided to "reload" through flickr. the photographs i have uploaded to my StumbleUpon site (which i actually cross-posted the two) are some of what appealed to me, most i have no explanation for. some are touching, one or two, a bit whimsical.

plainly, my reaction to whimsy is nothing i have felt today.

this particular photograph, however, captures my essence quite nicely.

peace.
