abuseWhat we call "reality" is a deception of epic proportions.

You've nicely tied that idea in with your pseudonym, movie, and photography imagery. Dickinson said, "Nature is a haunted house, but poetry is a house that pretends to be haunted." And it's true--imitation is impossible as entropy increases, as randomness multiplies in incalculable frequencies. But like you said, as writers, we have to try to believe in the possibility of documenting what we can, of hoping when we will, of trying to understand it all, because otherwise life is too hard to bear.

Another beautiful piece that I really connected with. You've got so much talent.

abuse"just hoping/
on paper anything would make any more sense"

Favorite line, my dear.

Seems like everyone can't get anything to look right/write in their life.

abuseawesome piece... the idea of changing names is really is cool, but not as powerful as the rest of the piece... I LOVE the movie metaphor especially the part about yelling at the people because I totally do it.. the ending is really powerful and beautiful.. awesome piece

abuseI like the concept that you are watching your life like a movie, but make special mention that you have no control over how its played, especially the volume. I want to know if there are any characters in specific on screen. In particular, do you mean that you would single yourself out?

Lopsided stars, very nice description.

“smile for the camera dear because you don't want to be remembered as the girl who didn't smile”

This line brought many images to my mind. I see so many faces in images, some smiling, some not, so very good choice on imagery.

After reading this the last line gave me the feeling of opening the door and letting all the warm air rush out of the house. Very well done.
