well here it is.... my one thousandth blip.
(it is two days "late," due to two unfortunate gaps during my time here, but who is counting at this point...)

Blip means a lot to me. More on some days than others admittedly. I have learned a lot about myself and questioned a lot about myself as well. "what's with all these self-portraits?" "you don't even look like that..." "who do you think you are?" "I don't even have a good camera..." etc etc.... internal dialogs be damned.

I have met some lovely people here on blip and I hope that soon I will meet many of you in person, although saying this scares me as I really can't believe I might travel to the other side of the world. It is not because I don't want to, it is that I was never supposed to be the person who ever thought that was even a possibility, since somehow at some point in my life I became scared of the world. I thought I was supposed to be small and play it safe. Because of art, I know this is simply not true and because of love I know I will go. (eventually)

I listen to your music and see into your lives, sometimes more often and sometimes less. I have this brilliant man staying with me from Scotland currently and he takes my time away from your journals. Thanks for your patience, I will return. I promise.

You all have encouraged, supported, and been a distant family to me. You didn't always know what my photos were about and you didn't always know what I was going through, but at some points you got the best of me. Thanks for being here to witness it.

I have said it before and I will say it again, you all are a lovely bunch of people. I am glad our paths crossed. Thanks to Joe and to Blipcentral- what a world you have created.

X.
