This scene felt right at the time, so I had to capture it.
It was during dinner, just days after Bloggers.SG. As usual, she was content to be listening to the others talk, speaking only occasionally. So intent was her listening that she didn’t pay attention to me when I made that shot.
Weeks later, I read her Being Me post.
I am comfortable being where I am physically. I’m happy for you, I thought, since so very many other women have self-image issues.
I am comfortable being where I am mentally. Good for you, I thought, since I, certainly, am not. Maybe you’re better off than me.
I am comfortable being where I am spiritually…. I am comfortable being where I am socially. I’m glad for you, Sondra, even though I can’t say the same for myself. You have no idea…
Thanks to blogging, I found myself meeting really cool people — too many to mention… And thanks to blogging, Sondra, I found myself meeting cool people like you.
plus the fruition of Bloggers.SG05, which still astounds me to this day. I know exactly what you mean! And you know that I do too!
Bloggers.SG was one unbelievably crazy ride. After it was finally over, all we could manage was to grin and shake our heads in silence. Words were unnecessary.
Turning 28 couldn’t have been better and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way than just being me. So simple, I thought. So sweet and simple.
I remembered the scene.
