an assemblage of flotsam and jetsam, art and emotions recovered from the wreck.

it feels like i’m becoming just like everyone else and i can’t help myself. i’m jealous, i’m expectant, i’m disappointed, i’m judgmental, i talk over others, i think i’m more right than others, i’m impatient. it feels like i’m fighting human nature. i just want to be open.

i feel like i used to be more open, accepting of other opinions. but i felt like i used to get walked all over because of that. now i’m less open and don’t get walked over as much. is there a middle ground?

tired of waiting on other people to listen for me to make a sound

i think it’s important to realize you can miss something,  but not want it back.

i’m not going to apologize for my own existence anymore.

as a female mixed-race human with an islamic last name, i’m actually legit terrified of a post-trump america. like scared for my life terrified.

i think i might be back.

too early to tell, but i miss this shit. trying not to get all “back in my day” on ya. i just remember when tumblr was this cool kinda niche place where weirdos could meet other weirdos and have real and vulnerable conversations and ask each other real and vulnerable shit and laugh for hours at reblog convos and send each other snail mail and actually hang out in person. i was raised on that shit and then got into the real world and realized that no one really thinks you’re essential. kind of reminds me of what youtube did for their niche--there were a few lonely people that had something to say to the world, and then they realized through vlogging that other people in the world felt the same way and shared the same interests and oh my god they weren’t alone anymore, hundreds of people connected on the basis of sharing the same ideas, beliefs, character traits. so what i’m trying to say is that i’m sorry i broke up with you, tumblr. you gave me so many good friends and fond memories; i left because i felt like those were dying away and being replaced solely by GIFs from TV shows i didn’t watch and memes that were just plain dumb. but show me you’re not the same as when i left. give me some awesome intelligent funny (FUNNY) people to meet. i hope you grew up too, in our time apart.

seems that you are back in my life with a vengance

the way out

my fingers were more clumsy than yours

the truth slipped through them

[sonatography]

your fingers fumble with the truth

but i do see it, there in your hands

reveal it to me, slowly

[sonatography]

this [imagined] daily stream of tears has created an irritation

a persisting reminder at the back of my throat

borne of an illness of the heart

[sonatography]

To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things...Some photographers take reality as the sculptors take wood and stone and upon it impose the dominations of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and elevation. A true photograph need not be explained, nor can be contained in words.
