I'm crushed.
I think I'm wrong.
Wrong about my talents.
I thought photography and writing were my only talents.
Now I'm beginning to think I have none.
My parents say they like my shots a lot,
and that they want to frame them.
But they're my parents.
They have to say that.
And when my grandmother saw these [the one that knows countless of photographers, and goes to shows], didn't seem very impressed.
[I think.]
Sarah Dope said that she liked one of my shots,
but that's after I sent her a message telling her she was my hero, and that I loved her,
and maybe she was just trying to be nice.
I dunno.
I feel really bad right now.
Everything I live for,
I'm not sure I'm even good enough for that.
Ugh.
I want to sob.
Then again,
I may be overreacting.
I mean,
I just have a digital camera,
and it's done me pretty well.
Egh.
I just like I could do better...
And for my writing,
I just don't know.
I just don't think I'm all that good.
Meh.
I feel crappy.
What do you guys think of my work?

I can't see your photos because I -le gasp- don't have a myspace.
But I love your writing, Katy! I remember when I first met you (online... duh) I was jealous. Of course, I was eleven.
But anyways... it wasn't that good. But have you improved? Yes.
My goodness, you've improved! I sucked back then... all my horrible, plotless stories. At least yours had a plot!
And now... I read Strawberry Fields, and it was just... wow.
If you've improved that much, in a year, how amazing will you be when you're older? Just think!
You're young. You're still get use to your talents. There will be mistakes, of course. Loads of mistakes. Some will suck and some will be amazing.
But then you'll learn how to make each and every shot and story amazing. It also helps to look at other people's shots/stories and improve your writing by stealing some of their techniques and making those techniques your own.
You're good. I'm not going to blantantly lie and say you're fabulous- not yet, atleast. Stop complaining. Pick up your camera and take a shot.

I'm sorry. When you are really good at something and you love doing it it is considered a talent of what you love to do. Even if you are doing it totally wrong. If your parents like it than that I a plus, because my parents thinks differently about me and writing but everyone else loves my writing, so yeah.

Honestly, I love them.
The ones that I liked the most were:
'Somewhere near Palm Bay'
'The Candles in my house'
'my leg, my room'
'Epcot [Fake Morocco]'
They were beautiful. Have a little of faith in yourself! They were really nice, and I'm sure Sarah Dope liked your work, along with your grandmother and parents.
:]
