photographs

i realized today as i was walking around in the afternoon
with a new color photograph in my hands -
that i really, really am happiest in the darkroom.
i went in with a goal today. i told myself that i was going to get this photo printed.
and i did. i got it done. i'll be posting my pictures starting tomorrow.
just to remind myself where i'm happiest right now.
from the outside looking in, i suppose you could say.
tomorrow is friday. the start of a new weekend.
and then there will be a new week.
everyone is stressed out. and sick. and frustrated. and tired.
but i think there's moments every day where we find out where we're most happy.
and today, it was in the darkroom.
tomorrow, it may be at the temple. it may be at home. it may be in my room.
but there's got to be a place i can look forward to going, that i can run to when things are hard
and i've been wanting to hang out in the dark for a few days now.
the darkroom did wonders on me today. we'll see what happens tomorrow.
