This was probably the second 'falling' picture i have ever done, and probably the best. It's my favourite. I have uploaded this look beofre but it got deleted? I must have deleted it by mistake, anyhow let us talk.

Now of course you guys all know that i am the most hopeless romantic ever, obviously - it's cute but honestly it is not. I never get over people but instead learn not to get involved with them again, although somedays i feel weak and do instantly. I am the type of person that will fall for that one person after seeing tthem randomly at a cafe after two years. It's happened before, i remember it so clearly. I went out to a club with my friends and i was supposed to go with them to have a good time but in the line was my ex-boyfriend. We didn't have a very good past, but regardless i still likeed him. Without question, i turned around looked at ,my friends' mother and asked if i could rather saty at home with her. So, we did. We drove home leaving my 'crowd' of 'friends' at the club to have a good time.

It turned out to be a lovely night: we got home. She was ill, the mother, and so i made her a cup of coffee and brought it to her bedroom whereby she was lying in bed underthecovers with the television off. She opened her draw full of random things like a photograph of her ex-boyfriend whom she kicked in the balls after he refused to pay her cinema tickets, a lighter that says 'pussy mongler' onn it from her bestfriend as a joke, a wallet fulled of money, two books about religious trips, but what she pulled out were these special cigarettes that were pink. She offered me one and how could i resist?

We talked about her husband that passed away in a car crash, we talked about my father, we talked about her daughters, we talked about the reason as to why i didn't go out. To be honest, that was the last time i venbtured near a club. Then we started talking about my photography and at this point i wasn't so good but she encouraged me. She told me to try and try, and even if their are self-portaits. I told her about these 'falling' pictures and she thought it was a brilliant idea and she asked why i enver attempted it before - my answer was because i didn't want them to turn out shit. She said,'there's only one way to found out and that is to do.'

I went home the next day and took the picture; this is what came out. As for the the ex-boyfriend, well, as far as i know - i' m over him...but then again, i haven't seen him in a long time. Instead, i like to take picture and how much of a treat was it that i found this on my laptop today.
