That quote refers to how a thousand unsaid words can be expressed on a single image. It's when you look at a picture and instantly you can pick up information on the person, object or landscape. True artists pick up the small details that everyone else misses. Behind every picture is a story untold. You can look at a picture and remember the time it was taken, how you were happy and having fun. But then you remember something else, something bad that happened that day. You can look at a picture at someone smiling, but did you ever wonder if inside that person was breaking? They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, but what if the words were false? You can look at a picture and pick up the details, but did you know, that half the details you pick up could be lies? Pictures are often used as proof that something happened, but what if it was a set up? I'm not saying this to make you have a completely different view on pictures, but next time you get shown a picture... Wonder. Wonder and ask. There's no harm in asking something that you don't know about.
I love photos. They capture moments that can sometimes be forgotten. Moments that can't be repeated, sometimes moments that you hope don't get repeated. Last year, I got a tad lousy on photos and missed alot of good events. This year I'm going to take as much photos as possible because I wanna remember this year for some reason. It just seems like a year to remember, but then again every year is a year to remember right?
'A smile is worth a thousand tears'
I have a thousand reasons to smile, but I also have a thousand reasons to cry. There's alot about my childhood that not even my closest friends know about, and I don't ever tell anyone about. It's not something I like to talk about. It's not something I'm ready to talk about. I guess I'm just afraid of their reaction, afraid that they won't see me the same way. I don't want to be felt sorry for. I don't want exceptions to be made for me. I want everything life has to offer. I want to be treated just like everyone else.
Things happen in life that we don't expect to happen and it leaves a scar, emotionally or physically. That scar shouldn't be ignored, it should be embraced. It's a symbol that you survived one of the toughest times in your life and when you look back on it, you know you can get through anything. There are times when I wonder, why it had to happen to me, of all people. But I guess I wouldn't be the person I am today, if it didn't happen. So in a sick twisted way, I'm kind of glad it happened.
That break up changed alot of things about me, that I never knew until recently. I can't say 'I love you' to another person, I can type it and use it as an example but I can't say it to anyone anymore, not even my sister. I can't smile without it being fake. My laughs are more forced. I have to listen to music or talk to someone most of the time, because if I'm by myself without anything to do for too long I start to think and the pain comes back. I have a need to help someone, to make myself feel better. It's funny how small things, like break ups, change you bit by bit.
I'll smile everyday because I won't let a guy ruin the perfect smile that was there before he came along. A smile is worth a thousand tears, tears that should never be wasted on a guy who doesn't deserve it. Smile because you have a thousand reasons to.
You need to let go of the past in order to move on with the future.
