Love and living without regrets

As I mentioned, I recently left a relationship that wasn't working. And this is not so long after having left a really big relationship that had lasted several years. Like all relationships that end, it was a painful thing to have to do, but inevitable. Sometimes in your life, you are simply not in a place to be able to be in a relationship with someone else. It has nothing to do with the people, just the time in ones life that makes things so difficult that in the end they can't work.

Anyway. I'm really happy that I tried this relationship. It was something I hadn't thought about since I was young, and being able to revisit something that you feel you never had a chance to really understand is a wonderful feeling. It's sad that it didn't work. It's wonderful that I tried anyway.

That's how life is in the end I suppose. It's all the beauty of all the things you try that makes it so worthwhile. Right now as I go through my portfolio, I'm taking the occasion of having so much fresh ink and Paper to print out as many pictures as possible. As I grow older I begin to understand more and more the importance of documenting your life. To those who haven't thought about it for awhile: It really does slip away from you. Trust me. The more beautiful it is, the quicker it will seem to wash away every time you fall asleep. Perhaps this is because I am a photographer, or perhaps this is *why* I am a photographer.
