This is absolutely, breath-taking. I wish I could show you how much I mean that this is absolutely, beautiful for 'tis. My explanation might sound a bit strange, but I love your photograph because the flower is showing its beauty. The flower isn't one bit afraid of showing its beauty even though there are risks of it getting hurt because 'tis vulnerable. And though, it goes through hardships and storms it still stands strong. Yet even as vulnerable as it is, it is still strong for the flower is truly showing its beauty. In its vulnerability it is strong, not worrying about anything like tomorrow or the way it is dressed. For like the birds that are taken care of, it knows that it will be well-taken care of too. And so it rest, being vulnerable. And that is what I think you perfectly caught, the fragile yet strong strength of a flower that we all must have; the freedom, the lack of fear of showing our weaknesses, our vulnerabilities. Thank you so much, Liv. For sharing this, it just touched my heart. No, it didn't. It grabbed my heart's attention. And for that I thank you for doing that and for sharing this. This deserves to be published in Teen Ink's magazine. Thank you, again, my friend! :)
