Photography!

Okay okay! Everyone Keeps Nagging me about having a website for my Photography so I've decided what better place than a Blog a rarely use anymore but have already established? So from this point on this site will hold my images that I want to share are thoughts I have about them. Though be aware that there will probably be a random thought posted here and there. It is called Unguarded Moments after all. I'm a procrastinator so it might take some time but I'll do my best at keeping this site up to date and full of fun! YAY!

The "Noble" Words of Lemony Snicket.

"Dewey was wrong when he said that being noble enough is all we can ask for in this world, because we can ask for much more than that.

We can ask for a second helping of pound cake, even though someone has made it quite clear that we will not get any. We can ask for a new watercolor set, even though it will be pointed out that we never used the old one, and that all of the paints dried into a crumbly mess.

We can ask for Japanese fighting fish, to keep us company in our bedroom, we can ask for a special camera that will allow us to take photographs even in the dark, for obvious reasons, and we can ask for an extra sugar cube in our coffees in the morning and an extra pillow in our beds at night.

We can ask for justice, and we can ask for a handkerchief, and we can ask for cupcakes, and we can ask for all the soldiers in the world to lay down their weapons and join us in a rousing chorus of 'Cry Me a River,' if that happens to be our favorite song.

BUT We can also ask for something we are much more likely to get, and that is to find a person or two, somewhere in our travels, who will tell us that we are noble enough, whether it is true or not.

We can ask for someone who will say, ' You are noble enough,'  and remind us of our good qualities when we have forgotten them, or cast then into doubt. "

"Blah Blah Blah" and Stuff Like That.

Life keeps moving forward.

I've graduated college, have a great job, currently looking for a new one and a Photography internship, and have a great church calling.

 I'm reading more books,exercising, staying away from my obsession of a certain few Youtubers ( Pewds and Cry, oh how you cause the hours to fly by), and trying to save up for the inevitable loss of funds to loans and further education.

 I'm gaining confidence, social skills, and hopefully some great experiences.

Blah Blah Blah.

Life is good, and that's great.

To you ,Sadness.

I have this over whelming Sadness that hits me sometimes. It takes me over and makes me do things I regret or makes me avoid the things in life worth doing. This reoccurring sadness has been with me for a very long time. It knows me. It knows my weaknesses and knows my most vulnerable times; those times when it knows it can pounce. This Sadness is so crafty and so sly that it has convinced me that its presence is completely okay. That it is my friend, my buddy, my comrade. That even though it makes my life that much harder, it is a natural part of it.

Well, Sadness, this is for you.

You have affected my life in so many ways, all of them negative. When you show up and take me over, I can't control my thoughts, my emotions, and what ideas pops into my head next.

Sadness, when you come over you make my self esteem plummet to the deepest depths. You make me feel unnecessary, unworthy, and unacceptable. When you stop by for a visit, I waste away my precious time and waste away my precious soul. These many years we have been companions, you have almost succeeded in my internal destruction.

But,sadly Sadness, I must inform you that our entangled relationship must end.


I know that change is hard, but it is a necessary part of life. It is true that when other things change around me, you have always been there for me to safely land on. But i know and feel that it is time you and I part ways; you continue down your path of loathing and constant tears, and I will find my way into a place of eternal happiness and glory.

Don't worry to much, Sadness. You and I will see each other every now and then, but our every meeting will be supervised by someone who loves me and who will be there to remind me of the eternal happiness that comes from living a life as far from constant Sadness as possible. 

I hope that you will , well, lose your job. I hoping that one day I will replace you with far better friends like remorse, Those friends who make me feel the way that you do, without tearing my insides apart.

I want you to know Sadness that even though I have been very cordial with this letter, I will want no further contact with you. The last time I will see you is now. We are officially not together anymore.

Goodbye, Sadness; and may you never effect my life again.

Conversation to Self

Words mean nothing! I need action. Talk talk talk. All I'm hearing is empty promises and attitude. When will those become full promises and those attitudes positive actions? Huh? when?

 Exactly. You don't know. you have no idea. well let me tell you something Missy. I didn't come to this earth to be.............this! this thing people call Krista. I came here to do something worth telling about when I die. I came here to be great and what are we doing? blogging. that's right, blogging, instead of hiking MT. Everest or making out with a hot Australian while swimming the Great Barrier REEF!

And it is all because of you. yes you. holding me back, making me feel like i don't deserve to have a hot Australian. Always telling me how second rate I am. how I will never be who i want to be or go where I want to go because i don't have any money or time or the looks or talent or enough spiritual power or I'm not ready.

Your just scared. Scared that something bad will happen. someone will not like you or you'll die before your time. well guess what, with the way you are living, you could already be counted as deceased.

Well NO MORE. this is an intervention and i plan on stopping you from holding me back any longer. Guess what we are going to do? you and me are go to do whatever we want when we want. now i don't mean in the stupid defiant teenager way, i mean the do-it-because-it-is-fun-and-good-for-you kind of way. instead of just staring at the cute guy sitting across from us, we are going to say hi. or instead of feeling like a fat lard every time we look into mirrors, we are going to embrace our beautiful curves!

 no more I cant's, i hate's, or fake I don't want to's. We will do all that we want. And won't do what we don't want. no more letting others walk all over us, no more holding back because we want to keep that protective cloak of timid around us. I am sick of not feeling like I'm worth anything just because you are miserable with life and need company. I am going to be happy and who I really am from now on, and it is up to you if you want to join me. But you better hurry, this train called life leaves immediately!

love love love

UMMM...yeah.

Just a piece of advice: Don't blog while upset or emotionally intoxicated. It can cause issues to rise.


Just a Note. :D

OH! Heres a cool picture.

PENGUINS!
