And The Sun Sets With Us

Once upon a time in Alex land... has added a photo to the pool:

Self.

I know it's similar, but as I said yesterday I couldn't chose which one I liked better...might have to upload one more to at some point, just don't get bored of me ok?

This year I already know is going to be a challenge for me, my dad is selling our family house, and with everything we've been through with our mother and other pretty crappy things the house is the only thing left of our life before it all went wrong, and in some way when it goes, I feel like I'll be saying goodbye to my childhood, my innocence...

I know, I know, first world problems and all...I also know that this will be a big step for me and one that I hope will change me for the good. But I am still scared, and I think, this may well be the hardest year yet.

Untill the house sells I will be taking full advantage of my house, my fields and my surroundings. A lot of, if not nearly all of my self portraits have been in my house and the fields and woods surrounding it...it is my spirit and my home, so I will try and take as many as I can before I live too far away from it all. Especially my favourate place of all, the field opposite my house...the field where I took my first self portrait, the field I can see from my bedroom window and have gazed at it on many a sleepless night, the field where I have sat with my past loves, cried over current ones and watched the sunset over and over again.

I will miss this house and everything about it, I hope I'm strong enough...please let me be strong enough!
