This year so far has been a roller coaster, fell in love with an amazing woman, chased my dreams, nearly had everything I ever dreamed of, then it came all crashing down. She left out of nowhere, my college grades suffered, my interest in everything was gone, and I was yet again riding the wave of manic and depressive states, going from feeling hopeful and happy to wanting nothing more to curl up into a ball and die an hour later. So, like I always have, I turn to photography. It will take a long time to mend the pain and find what it is I'm here on this earth for, but for now, I'll drown it out and put it into my photography.
