Why
...did I decide to listen to the Dirty Three Ocean Songs tonight and take pictures of my crying self? No answer to that, but while I'm on the topic of documenting the sadness and reality of the human condition I'll mention a wonderful book called "Putting Myself in the Picture" by Jo Spence, which I always think of when taking or making brutal self-portraits, not that I consider the above brutal, no, they're rather kind. Hardly brutal. I need my sadness, and I love my sadness, and one day I'll find someone who understands that.

i understand... sometimes i NEED my sadness as well... you dont need other people to understand, trust me. you need you to understand. i hope things are okay with you.
oh, I didn't mean that anyone needs to understand the why of it, just the fact of it, and to just let it be and not consider me a freak for having this... need. But as for myself - oh, yes, agreed, I need to understand it and sometimes I do, a little - it's not easy. Yes, I am okay for the most part.
