Life and Death

I'm not old, but I have seen many people go in my lifetime.

I don't know why people don't look as each day as their first.

I admit, I am vain, but I'm beginning to realize vanity isn't everything.  Especially this photography I do to promote unobtainable perfection.

I'm looking beyond things and learning to listen to people instead of talking only about myself - which is called the "Tyra Banks Syndrome."

Sometimes engaging in conversation, or seriously complimenting someone can make their day.  Don't be afraid to talk to people that you normally don't speak to.  They are just afraid to speak with you as you are with them.

Narcissism is the fall of everyone.

Why are people narcissistic?  Is it a feeling from lack of control?

Narcissism is the personality trait of egotism, vanity, conceit, or simple selfishness. Applied to a social group, it is sometimes used to denote elitism or an indifference to the plight of others.
The name "narcissism" was coined by Freud after Narcissus who in Greek myth was a pathologically self-absorbed young man who fell in love with his own reflection in a pool. Freud believed that some narcissism is an essential part of all of us from birth.[1] Andrew P. Morrison claims that, in adults, a reasonable amount of healthy narcissism allows the individual's perception of his needs to be balanced in relation to others

Me right now!

I don't ever think I'm taken seriously by these guys born in the late 1980's and early 1990's, but I have much to share with you.  Unfortunately, most won't listen because they think they are already grown.  Good luck to those.
