You should date a guy who writes
Date a guy who writes. Date a guy whose fingers are stained with ink, whose pockets are filled with pens, and whose eyes smile and dance with curiosity. Date a guy who notices things like the colour of your hair and the way you have your coffee, not because he has to, but just because it’s a habit of his to notice things. Date a guy who can barely get around a computer, but is expert with his word processor. It doesn’t matter; he prefers pen and paper anyway.
Find a guy who writes. You’ll find him just outside a library. He’ll like the idea of being outside, on the verge of a thousand worlds, a few steps away. He&rsqu

subliminal messages from the unheard heroine
Chain smoking behind crumbling bike sheds
We’d amble across deserted swing sets
Sipping bad coffee and reading about dead poets
You with a charcoal smudge in the crease of your lips
I with ink stained fingertips
We’d speak of what it is like to be human
And how devastatingly beautiful self-destruction is
Because you had holes in your arms and I had lines on my hips
And there really wasn't much to say
Other than how the skies looked like smoke and dioxide vomit
Pooling onto our broken pupils
Of Masks and Men
All of the deceptors
Know to wear their masks,
Just as stars hide in daylight
While the 'wakened earth basks;
When a jewel of crimson red
Rolls down an icy cheek,
Two grey orbs squeeze shut
The sources of the leak;
The windows to the soul
Hid in porcelain drapes,
Take refuge in the clever rouse
Like vagrants bearing capes;
No land to call a home,
No face their own to wear,
No friend to call upon,
No identity to share.
Several days it's been since
you've run away.
Tears run down my face.
How could you throw it away?
Seasons change.
Years pass by.
Waiting for Destiny,
to pass me by.
Your face still in my head, as
clear as the day you left.
Leaves fall through time.
As they crumble against
the ground, so do
the hopes of your return....
Step 1: Idea (message, composition)
You decided that you want to make a photomanipulation. But what to make? There are so many photomanipulations already out there and mostly with the same theme. So you decide you don't just want to stick a pretty girl onto a beautiful background. No you want to be original and have your manipulation portray a message everyone can relate to.
Think of things that are important to you, that lay close to your heart. They can be emotions (love, hate, sadness, anger) or experiences, hobbies (art, sports etc), things you are struggling with. Or they can be global themes like (beauty, money, economy, eating disor
