Day 56

Why did I take this photo? I could tell you a lot of things. 


I could tell you that I feel like this is how people see me lately. They can see me and acknowledge my general existence, but they don't go much deeper.


I could tell you I've been spending so much time screenwriting that I feel like I have lost myself and become my characters. 


I could tell you that I feel like I'm a terrible model and I hate my face because I'm breaking out. 


I could tell you that I wasn't creative enough to make a funny face, so I didn't bother to light it. 

I could tell you every day I wear a mask, and this is what it looks like when I take it off. 


I could tell you I only had two light stands, and I couldn't set up another flash. 


I could tell you I'm depressed, and I don't know who I am anymore. 


I could tell you that I saw someone else take this exact picture and I'm ripping them off. 

I could tell you I'm interchangeable. 

I could tell you I'm stressed out and I want to hide from my responsibilities. 


I could tell you I miss my family and I feel empty without them around.


I could tell you that I'm a liar, and that none of this is true. 


I could tell you it's all true. 


The best part is, it doesn't matter what I tell you. You'll decide for yourself.
