How do you even attempt to convince someone to believe in SOMETHING when they believe in NOTHING?

I understand that there is only so much you can do. If they don't have an open mind, they won't accept what anyone says no matter how close to home it gets. I'm just afraid that she hasn't built up her spirit and her mind enough to sustain the amount of pressure and injustice the world has to offer her.

No matter the tragedy,

I know one thing is for certain. No matter the people I am around. I will always be wanted at one time or another. There will always be at least one person by my side. And I am happy for that. I will never want for anything so long as I know that I have friends/family. It lets me know there is definitely hope in this world. Doesn't matter where it comes from. Just matters that it's there.

It's a Dream

A lot of people tend to think that photography is a wonderful work of art. Or that it is just beautiful in general. Unless you're a hipster.. then photography is just the norm. But that does not count. Because it's "cool" and you can take a picture of it and put some kind of filter on it doesn't mean you're an expert at photography.

(Sorry guys, I don't mean to bash the hipsters. But don't deny that there is some truth to that.)

But, for me, photography goes much deeper than that. Most people tend to take life at face value. Including all the art work, books, and even people for that matter. However, when you look at a photograph, what do you see? Do you see the whole picture? Or do you see the story pixel by pixel? The wonders that come with every tiny detail to make up a symbol of a life in some form or fashion.

To someone like me, photography is not just a hobby. It's a dream. Something that can always be improved upon. Something that always changes, yet, never moves. It implies a moral and a sense of beauty that not even the most beautiful woman/handsome man can accomplish. It's the beauty of the world that ALL people (including myself) take for granted.

I truly encourage people to take more pictures, but look back at them and take them not at face value, but look into what makes that picture so great. Is it the memory, the setting, or even the people within the photo? No matter what, they all come with a story attached.

Sometimes family sucks

I thought I could trust them to be something more than I had grown up to think. Oh, but they don't do anything for charity. Or to help out their own. No. They don't have enough money for that.

But you're taking a nice week long trip to Massachusetts to see your sisters (in-law)? Oh, you want to go to the store again, today, as though you hadn't gone every other day this week? But you don't have enough money to help out the ONE person in this family who has fucking STAGE THREE cancer and is at HIGH RISK of spreading?!? PLEASE tell me where the logic is in that.

You have thousands of dollars worth of scrap iron in the back. But you don't want to trade it for much needed money. Yet, I'm the one who is willing to put my entire life's savings into this issue. And it's not even that much. It's my only fucking ticket out of this hell hole we call a home. But I'm willing to give it up to save my own mother's life. But her parents won't even do the same.

I am ashamed to have such a family. So selfish that they would rather take a trip out of the state than save that money to help their daughter so she can at least attempt to pay for a surgery that would allow her to keep her life.

Please... I have no family. I would much rather live on the streets with my mother than stay here with such evil.
