I Heart Faces: Pink Week!

I'm entering this week's "I Heart Faces" challenge. This is my very first time entering. Today, I was spending time with my best friend when the urge to make cupcakes struck us! I took advantage of the situation and made cupcakes in honor of Breat Cancer Awareness month and then decided to incorporate the cupcakes with this week's challenge on "I Heart Faces!"

So, here is my photo entry, featuring my best friend and delicious cupcakes! :) I haven't enjoyed them yet, but I plan on doing so quite soon. :) Comments are appreciated !!!

never pretty enough.

I follow several inspirational photographers on Tumblr, Twitter, Flickr, Blogger, Facebook, and so on and most of them are amazing self-portrait artists. I've always tried my hand at doing self-portraits, but I've never felt pretty enough to do them. The inspiration only comes when I'm alone and when I feel the most down. Then I try and most often I end up frustrated because I only believe that I'm proving myself correct. I take pictures. I see all of my flaws and never pay attention to the things that might be beautiful. So, today... some of this changed... maybe.

I've had a very stressful year this year. From death to life to lost to loved to hated to shattered; all of it. It's all going to be okay, though. At least that's what I have to constantly tell myself. If I don't then I'm not going to make it through. So what to do when I'm alone and feeling completely shattered?



And though I just typed this, the horrible feelings come back the second I look at my phone. They try and bring me down, and honestly they're succeeding. They've won. I've lost, and they have won.

I thought that maybe, just maybe she would be on my side, but she's not. They're not. Anyways, now that I'm feeling awful again, I'm going to go ahead and post the pictures I took. The ones that I felt at least okay in. Now I'm doubting them.

So I have to do it before I don't.
That's all I've got to say.

dramatic black and white.

Just entered a contest on I Heart Faces for teenagers. The theme was: Dramatic Black & White. I hope my photo does okay. :)That's all I got for now. I know, I'm boring these days.
xoxo, Sarah.
