i stumbled across a really interesting photo (below). at first glance, it struck me to my core because it speaks volumes about people in general and is the epitome of the old cliché "a picture is worth a thousand words." smokey robinson's "tracks of my tears" also came to mind, especially those familiar lyrics "take a good look at my face. you'll see my smile is out of place and if you look closer it's easy to trace..." it was that i could identify with this photo that struck me so deeply. i was a bit embarrassed about this relation that i quickly denounced that it was just a supercool photo and nothing more but even i knew why it stood out to me and why i would find myself featuring it in a blog. nobody wants to be categorized as that person that is overly dramatic or too serious or seemingly always sad on the inside. but this photo describes us all: that person whom has made something or someone else a higher priority leaving their spouse or significant other to smile, although fake, is what most people see.
it describes the orphan left to face days and nights not only without a biological parent but appearing to be grateful of his/her present surrounding. it describes a person at the brunt of every joke amid socialites because he/she looks different. it describes heartbreak. it describes depression. it describes single parents with what seems like no social life and surrounded by others that use "hello, how are you doing?" as a greeting afraid they will be recruited for help or a loan. it describes you. it describes me. some people call it 'negative thinking' when people talk about their feelings. when people find themselves in positions that they feel they don't belong or when people talk about what is really going on in their day makes others feel uncomfortable. even though to talk about such a subject is the first step to recovery from being a slave to the past it is the lingering there too long that is why habits are so hard to break when it's time to move on. linkin park's "somewhere i belong" seems to best fit the photo below because the photo and that song are quite avant garde. 386 words for this photo.
