Depression, but make it artsy

I have decided to become the ultimate capitalist and channel all my negative emotions into something nice. I'll be navigating my mental health with no guides and no motivation to cry out for help (because I feel like a nuisance, and I've already tried, and I'm still here)



The Rough

I called this blog "The Rough" because everyone speaks of "The Diamond in The Rough", and I thought it meant a diamond... stuck in rocks. I wanted to highlight the rocks, the hard, painful, injury causing stuff; decided to look it up, turns out it means something with potential that needs work. Once again, without trying, I have found a sliver of hope.


Join Me.

The darkness around my head represents my headspace as I create this blog. In making this public, I extend a hand, and ask you to join me. "The Diamond in the Rough" speaks of something or someone with potential, but in need of training/polishing, represented by the unintentional green in the background.


Why am I here?

It's an assignment in Photography. It's becoming a way to get things off my chest. I may look back at this (or not) in a few months and perceive my own words as dark. It is what it is.
