i learned this morning that a good friend from the office died yesterday. why are the good ones always die early? and batshit people live on for me to deal with!
and this afternoon i learned another friend has been diagnosed with the same thing.
the day started out perfectly today in toronto. and yet i feel like these blooms -- wilted, withered, shrivelled, limpy, droopy, saggy. i tried to revive these flowers yesterday, following the steps to the letter and yet they were not to be saved. at lunch time i went down to the mall to get food and i almost felt like fainting, t'was a good thing the taxi came within three minutes of my call, i sipped some water, and by the time i got home i was feeling better. when i looked in the mirror i thought i looked weird and realized i was so pale you'd think i was a ghost. the last time i felt like that was when i was still in college and i was suffering from acute anemia. and my doctor is on medical leave. hah!
It is interesting how we express ourselves through our photography. I see beauty and the circle of life in this. But I quite see how you are saddened. Nice shot, nice composition and tribute.
This is a beautiful shot and it might come very close to your feelings, unfortunately. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend and will be thinking of you.
So sad to hear your news and doesn’t help when you are not feeling 100%. Your cute little vase of very sad roses is a great capture to summarise how you are feeling. 💐
Your photo is wonderful and it’s clarity is a perfect expression of your feelings. I am sorry for your loss. Please don’t let it affect you so that you also suffer from poor health too.
Very saddened by this very poignant portrayal of your feelings. But hopeful at the same time as you were able to find the strength to share what you are going through.
A horrible bit of news for you. I certainly understand why you might feel bad, that and your physical condition. I remember that you've not been feeling well in the past week. Hope your GP as a substitute that can help you out.
So sorry for your loss. Even wilted flowers look pretty and so do you. Well, looking like a ghost can be a bit scary, so take care of yourself, stay strong and well wished for your friend.
