Description because you know you'd deserve it.

I suppose there is not much to explain about this photo, not much to talk about ... merely the fact that I want to achieve some awareness. I'm not a fan taboo issues. Living in a country where it is said that you are entitled to your opinion and you can speak your mind freely, I see no point in covering things up and pushing them away from our mouths and minds. It seems to me as if so many are living in an illusion of beautiful perfection, and I don't mean to deny that life and the earth are a magnificent thing - still, I personally believe, we couldn't appreciate that beauty without experiencing the devastating parts as well.

but anyway. as a wise woman that I'd helped moving houses once said;
    "this is it with that part of my life"

This... is a really beautiful, haunting photograph. I have had past experience with cutting... and it's something that won't ever be so far away from me. This really just hit something for me, and I really do love the photograph.

Well that's...That's kind of sad.
Yet,some things need to be said sometimes.And I think you always do a great job saying them.
(But please tell me that you don't cut yourself.I have some friends that do so and I really tried to help them,but couldn't help much most of the times.If you have any problems that you wanna discuss,know that I'm always willing to hear and help-people have said I'm good at advising.You probably have a great number of friends if you want to talk,but I just wanted to say I'm here.Hope you feel better everyday)

So many people have struggled with this... Thank you for reminding me Sometimes, I forget that I used to do it, too. I'm actually almost to my 1-year of not cutting

Sometimes it's good to forget the thing itself, but being aware of it is most important. I hope you feel a lot better by now and that you are happy. All the best!

Excellent concept! And it seems that sometimes we just baptize experiences as "beautiful" or "perfect" to blind ourselves to the high probability that someone else could come along and have an equal and opposite reaction to the same experience.

The philosopher Heraclitus talked around this idea of a harmony of opposites in a number of his fragments. Perhaps Heraclitus thinks that arbitrary labels, such Justice/Injustice or Hunger/Satiety or Pleasure/Pain, cloak an underlying unity in the world. A unity that is best characterized with our senses and self-reflection, rather than our blind acceptance of arbitrary categories, labels, and ideal distinctions. Heraclitus mistrusts popular attempts to divide the world, say, into good and bad with mere blunt words, which miss the unity and dependence they have on each other.

noooo don't cut your self... you're too beautiful to hurt yourself

Seriously it looks like you're either trying to cut the ends of your nails, cleaning said nails with scissors, or trying to slice off your finger tips... T_T

I have always wanted to express emotions as well as you do; thank you for expressing so much. I mean, it's amazing how one photograph can make people smile, laugh, cry, or many other emotions and actions out there.

I love this and I hope you're not feeling upset now because you don't deserve to. Much love!

Taya, maybe you haven't figured yet, but your photos hold so much that I can't even put it into words. I know how it feels to look at other people's work and then feel bad ones own work, but I just wanted to tell you that.

And I suppose I feel a lot better by now. It's lovely that you care. All the best for you as well!

At first, I thought you had been filing the nails because: 1. I have terrible eye vision 2. Your expression.
I was kinda disappointed that it wasn't a nail filer! But, I am glad that your bringing awareness to a very serious matter.
The lighting and the composition are extremely lovely. Also, the lighting sets the mood for your message.

thank you a lot, haha! yet, the pose the way it is was intentional, maybe you think about it and it'll come to you a little handier.

i love the composition and lighting, well done.
your message is true. i try incorporating that idea into my writing as much as possible
the fact that you can never truly appreciate pure, unadulterated beauty in life without
having to live through and find the lost art in suffering.

ooh, the lighting! about that, my father bought the wrong bulp for our hallway and now the light is really blue and cold .. so if you'd want light that, just buy the wrong light bulbs.
still, I appreciate your words a lot, thank you!
