Quotes

If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.

Funny business a woman's career. The things you drop on the way up the ladder so you can move faster. You forget you'll need them when you get back to being a woman. It's the one career we all have in common … being a woman.
-All About Eve (1950)

We could only wonder how she would be able to dust herself off and start over again. And yet we knew we couldn't bear for her not to, and felt ever more optimistic that after all her struggles, she would someday meet her man: her equal, a man with the same charisma, love of life, and humanity she possessed. In the meantime, she'd have her friends. And the knowledge that she deserved the world.

FEARLESS is falling madly in love again, even though you’ve been hurt before. It’s FEARLESS to have faith that someday things will change.  FEARLESS is having the courage to say goodbye to someone, even though you can’t breathe without them.  I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS.  Letting go is FEARLESS. Then, moving on and being all right…That’s FEARLESS too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it.  You have to believe in love stories and prince charming and happily ever after.  I think love is FEARLESS. FEARLESS is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. 
-Taylor Swift

Everything happens for a reason.  People change so you learn to let go.  Things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they are right. You believe lies so eventually you learn to trust no one but yourself.  And sometimes, good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
-Marilyn Monroe


Photography and writing are a tentative way of seizing those moments before they vanish, of fixing those memories in order to give meaning to my life.
