They say a picture is worth a thousand words. And given that they also say the pen is mightier than the sword a picture is a powerful thing indeed. Mind you, I'd like to know exactly who 'they' are and exactly who gave them so much authority.
Pictures can tell the story of a person's life. Sometimes I look at photographs of myself and I don't recognise the person in them. They're not quite me. But you put all the photos together and they tell the story of how I became me, of how I found myself.
Some days I'm not sure if I really do know who I am, but I'm pretty damn content with the person I've become.
I know that I am loved.
I know that the only person who defines me is me.
I know that I have the courage to be myself and to follow my dreams.
I know that I can do anything I want if I just try hard enough.
I know that I have learned from my past mistakes, and am wise enough not to make them in the future.
I know that that is enough.
