Just wanted to post this pic of my good old friends Ashlee and Aimee from high school that I miss and think about a lot. It makes me sad that we didn’t keep in touch as much as we should have (most of that being my fault)…they are both very interesting, smart, and funny women that I’m sure are making lasting impressions on the world as we know it.
I truly regret that I was either too depressed or selfish or busy or inconsiderate that I didn’t make time in my life to pick up the phone or visit more. I think we first lost touch when I started college (after my divorce) when times were just crazy and I was trying to forget about my ex and all my life’s problems – not to mention just starting all over and learning to be my own person.
Life does take twists and turns and sometimes it becomes really hard to keep up with yourself, your significant other, your work, your social life, your finances, your family and then also to keep in touch with all of your great friends. Well, here’s my virtual shout out to all my great friends that have continued to bare with me throughout the craziness of life. No matter how much I see you guys, I hope you know I love you and care about you with all my heart…and I know that next time we see each other it will be just as great as the last.
*Sigh*
Goodnight. ….zzzzzzZZZ
Back in college, when I was taking fine art photography, this was one of my best black and white photos. I’ve been saving it since almost 2001 in a manila folder inside my file cabinet. Probably because it is an ex-boyfriend of mine, probably because I’ll never really frame it because it’s an image of a half naked guy and I’m sure Bobby wouldn’t appreciate that in our living room, or anywhere else. But it IS still one of my favorite photos – probably because of the angle, the composition, and the tonal values. So I figured I would scan it in and save it here…so other people can say what they think of it.
I call it Dragon vs. Man because we all have our other sides…I have mine too. Even though there are good + bad memories there, everything in life is a lesson learned and a way to grow into who we are today, so I say……no regrets.
