She Could No Longer Fit

"Hold on," they said. Though there came a time when she could no longer fit. When the size of her present exceeded the space defined by the path of her past. "But, I've changed," she whispered in a voice loud enough to be heard as the carousel looping in familiar eased carefully toward stop. The plastic pony never claimed to hold her weight... not forever.

Childhood moments. These are my favorite kinds of photos. It's just life, ya know?! And they make me smile....

Someone gave me this plastic heart in Jan. 2011 as a joke and I thought it was funny, so then I took a selfie with it around Valentine's Day, for a class I was taking. I was just being silly and playing around with using props in my photos. It wasn't til after I posted the photo on Flickr & got some comments on it, that I realized how much I really did want to be in a relationship again. http://www.flickr.com/photos/heather-cox/5399355742/in/set-72157626975438415

when i took this photo, i just liked the way it looked...but just today had realized why i loved it so much, why the white space speaks to me. i took the photo several weeks back, but it all made perfect sense why today.

When I took this picture, I didn't realize how much I had been missing my mom. As the anniversary of her death approached, I noticed how many photos I had been taking of my daughter and how the freckles across the bridges of their noses are the same. I wonder sometimes if they passed each other in that mysterious place of before and after. One drifting away silently and the other emerging with a howl.

It would help if I linked to the photo I mentioned above. ;)http://www.flickr.com/photos/melissatalbert/7302907592/in/photostream

Oh, childhood. I love this photo and those words <3

It's so interesting to see your comments about childhood. Of course, it makes sense because the image clearly portrays that. It's what you see. But when I wrote those words, the image transformed into a self portrait. A conceptual way of articulating how I felt.
