you certainly aren't alone. my first husband told me "it's all in your head"......duh?

i've spent my life, since 16, hearing my family talk about me. you know, "she does strange things" "can't get her to go anywhere" "what's wrong with Pat?".....

hell, i tell anyone. if they wonder what's going on.....if they don't understand, due to ignorance, then i am not going to waste any more time on them.

you see, i took a workshop with a very wise photographer years ago and he said something to us that i've never forgotten. he was talking about a gallery rejecting him and how badly he felt over that.......then it came to him, "if they don't like my photographs, ***k them"......that is my motto concerning just about everything in my life.

i am a photographer and it has carried me through some rejections to some pretty fair success.....if they don't like our disease......***k 'em......now, wait til this post gets deleted.

i'm a lot older than you (64), so i've been in the trenches a bit more. carry on, here with us and you'll feel much better about yourself and your life. there is a lifeline here, like no other.......xoxoxo pat p.s. i just uploaded some new "snapshots" that make me happy.....go look......
