SHOES!!!!

I am an 18 year old and I have healthy income of money and I find myself spending 30% of my money on gas, 20% on food and 50% on clothes! I love fashion and the thing I love the most and I believe that nobody can have to much of is… shoes! Art is one of my favorite subjects and fashion is art you can wear, and many of the blogs that I look at involoving fashion is so artistically created that I’m left a little jelous no being able to know how to do that myself. As far as photography goes, ive decided to do a photo assignment with my fellow classmate maddy, for this class and it will be a collection of shoes photographed artistically and done fashionably. I modeled it after a blog that I had found, and other bloggers had taken notice of it as well. There is an easy and noticable link between photography and fashion, there would be no models in the world and if there were no models we would have no americas next model.

i believe...black and white

I was 15 years old when I had to go to an air plane hanger with my father to watch my brother Michael board a plan and fly to Iraq.

I was shell shocked at first everyone was forcing fake smiles trying to consciously forget what the next hour would bring. All the military personal was scattered throughout the crown in there camo ironically sticking out like a sore thumb within each little clique of the crowd.

I was in a spellbound feeling of unbelief, there is no way this is actually happening. I chocked back stinging tears and at 15 years I held my dads hand both of us taking what little comfort we could from out firm grasp. To try and distract myself from my perfectly uniformed brother, I looked into the crowd and I saw something that made my choked back tears flow freely. Mother’s making there sons promise to come home safely. Spouses unwilling to let go of their other half. Children confused and frustrated asking where there mom or dad was going.. moments that have stood still inside my mind as small black and white movies.

My dad, bother and I hugged one last time and that was it, the plane lifted off and he was gone…

Well as sad as that was I’m so lucky to see the opposite of this, all of them coming home. This time around I saw waves of joy and happiness. I felt love all around me radiating like the suns heat off of everything giving the large spacious room and odd glow. There was also a long heavy sigh, like everyone was holding there breathe, it was the sound of relief.

I believe in black and white. These two scenarios of my life has taught me so much. Not only did I see love, and heard relief. I learned that without despair there is no hope. Without anxiety there is no relief. I learned so much in two separate days spanned by two years, then I have in my entire life. Without seeing pain and despair did I really learn and appreciate the soldiers coming home. I learned what the ancient Buddhist learned centuries ago the belief in yin and yang and it has never been so much clearer to me then right now, opposing forces are bound together and intertwined to create life.

I Believe Essay Thinking Outloud

I believe is a project that my class has decided to do, I’m excited in writing this because I have had a lot of experiences that have helped shape my life and gives my life meaning every day. The whole idea of I believe is to write about a personal experience to help explain a moral that we live by. Even though I’m only 18 I feel like I’ve lived through so much and I have so much to write about. It has taken me forever to decide and I still haven’t really decided officially on what exactly I’m going to write about. In the end though I figured out one thing that I aim to achieve every day of my life and something I think about often. Happiness is the single thing that I wish to achieve in my life and even seeing other people who are unhappy I feel this insistent need to reach out to these people and help. I want everyone to be happy I may come across as being a naïve dumb little girl but I’m unhappy by the unhappiness of the people all around me. This what has made me deiced on what to write my I believe paper on and I hope it turns out as good and convey what I’m thinking as well I understand it in my head.
