It's Been a Long Time

It's been a long time since I've been content with myself
Since the mirror was kind to me
Since I was satisfied
It's been a long time since I didn't analyze myself
A long time since I didn't worry about each word
That came out of my mouth
A long time since life was easy
When grades did not send me into an endless pit of gloom
And school was enjoyed, not dreaded
Too long since I was pleased with who I was
I want to feel that again
To state my opinion and not worry
That others will find me strange, stupid, weird
It's been a long time since love wasn't a worry
Looks didn't matter
I was free
I want to be little again
I want to lose these worries and fears
And focus on hopes and aspirations
It's been a long time.

I was searching on the net to see if the title that I gave to this pic is grammatically correct, and I found by hazard this poem write by a teenager
and because my picture is also about the nostalgy of the childhood, I writed it here

in the pic you can see my husband in my childhood room with a little shoe of our daughter in the left... he did't like this picture, saying it's too sad, but I liked, so it's more representative to me, not for him:)

Il y a des couleurs "Dada"... Incroyable cette façon de faire ressortir ces couleurs franches au milieu du noir, pour nous faire ressentir ce que tu veux.
Superbe Anca...

Anca this is fantastic and a wonderfully emotional piece of art! Everything here is very well done. The greens and reds are really moody. I really was moved by this one. Beautiful!!!

Peace and Love to you Anca

Hello Anca...
A very moody capture full of emotions... It is so well done, and we can read a lot of stories into this... Composition is close to perfect, and the colours enhances the the feelings you want to convey... Very good use of lighting, TFS!
Regards,
Pablo -

an emotional image, well done, thanx, M (*_*)

sorry, out of points...

The image and the sentiments expressed in your note combine to form something very powerful indeed - TFS...

What a great picture ! I am happy you didn't listen to your husband this time and decided to keep it.

What a mood, very moving.

Hi Anca,

this shot really is too sad, but Ilike it. great composition, and colours and light are great too,

TFS,

ferran

Tu as réussi à te surpasser, Anca. Je considère que cette photo est une de tes meilleures jusqu'ici car elle raconte une histoire et nous fait ressentir toutes sortes d'émotions. La composition est presque parfaite (j'aurais aimé le soulier de ta fille un peu plus vers la droite pour être dans la lumière - mais c'est un détail très mineur) et la pose de ton mari nous parle de désespoir, de solitude et de peine. L'histoire que je vois dans cette image est celle d'un père qui a perdu un enfant (soit par le divorce, l'enlèvement ou la mort) - je sais que ce n'est pas le cas mais c'est ce que je vois dans cette image. Le décor de la chambre nous montre ton mari dans son quotidien et ce décor rajoute beaucoup à l'émotion. Bravo et celle-ci est sauvée dans mes favorites!

J'adore, il y a beaucoup d'intimité dans cette photo.

Cum, eu nu ti-am scris la poza asta? Inseamna ca eram la busteni:)

Stii bine ca imi place f f f mult.Si ca Suzanne are pe undeva dreptate, lucrurile grave raman in noi, si ies la iveala cand nu te-astepti, nu vreau sa te intristez, ci doar sa subliniez ca arta nu iese numai din noi...tu stii bine asta, si iata un exemplu minunat cu fotografia asta....

Sabinelu tau.

I like this because it's dark and full of emotion. The poem fits so well.

Beautiful note and a great moody picture...it is a real piece of artwork you let show here...my compliments.

Frumos dar chiar trist. Credeam ca in familia voastra se rade non-stop ;) . Ai zice ca negrul ala e prea mult si prea... negru, dar e un negru cald, "colorat" - io vorbesc ca in pictura, sorry... :P
Intrebare de baraj: Mircea era trist sau doar nostalgic sau... statea si el... asa? :) Si poezioara - haha, il si vad pe Mircea suparat a a luat un 4 la mate... :))))

Magnificent composition Anca. Very good lighting, somber colours reflect the words so well. How many teenagers I wonder actually wish the could relive their childhood. TFS
